Unique, big fan of this one.

Series twenty rounds off with a very unique story, Awakening isn't just unique in terms of location, it's a very unique story, if feels different to almost everything. The trend of rounding a series off in foreign fields had perhaps gotten a little old hat, but this one was very good. Mexican politics, cartels, guns, it's a great story. Hard hitting, with a brilliant cliffhanger.

Rick Genest, looks suitably menacing as El Buitre, he's menacing without needing to speak, such a shame he died so young. Raquel Cassidy once again shows her acting skills, she's terrific.

On the downside, it is very far fetched, there are multiple events you know full well wouldn't happen in a million years, it doesn't matter though, as it's dramatic viewing.
