The episodes I helped out on have begun airing Sunday nights on Univision here in the U.S., but I’ve been on the road and only finally saw the first few last night. I thought the stories were pretty solid when I boarded the plane for the final time a few months ago, but the produced shows are terrific. I was blown away, frankly, delighted constantly at how ideas that seemed good in the writers’ room became even better in the execution, over and over. The series proudly displays its roots in pulp — bullets are fired, tight clothing is worn, sex and death always lurk around the next corner — but the characters are complex and conflicted and often can’t do the right thing even when they want to. They’ve made some good stuff here. I’m proud of my teeny part in helping pull this together — but much prouder still of my friends who have really outdone themselves.
Entonces, ¡felicidades otra vez a todos de mis amigos, los gentes creativos y talentos de El Pantera! Gracias para la oportunidad a ayudarse un pequeño, y espero que puedo ver y trabajar con todos ustedes otra vez pronto.
