 Zorro Episode 3 called The Bet and it does two things that the first two episodes have not done yet. It expands the world and it ends on a cliffhanger. Oh my oh my Polly back here in the Latino Sun. We have per episodic reviews here on the channel. Make sure you check them all out and we're having a lot of fun. I gotta tell you this is another great episode. Very different than episode 2 which tells me that there is this huge big sweeping smart storytelling on all 10 episodes. You only have three directors working all 10 episodes and it shows. It shows that there's a cohesion there that there is a uniform look and then also two with all the stories going all in one all towards one direction. So I'm really excited for that. Now the story is that a Chinese woman is lost in a bet and goes with Ramirez and her sister puts the mark of Zorro on her house where she's living at. And Zorro shows up but he don't understand her. She doesn't speak Spanish and he definitely doesn't speak Chinese. Great banter there. Hey talk about Latinos hiring Asians. Alan Ning what's up man. How come I never see Asians hiring Latinos. What's up. I kid. I kid Alan Ning but it's all seriousness. It's a cool subplot where you get to see Chinatown. You get to see the relationships of what's going on with the Chinese and California in this town of Los Angeles right. So Zorro goes to save the woman and that is a fun time because he's got to go talk to the head Chinese dude who lost her in a bet. And yes there is some fun in hallway daredevil style action that happens at the China man's place. It's so cool man and the Chinese dude is always kind of waxing poetic and Confucius. So that's that's a lot of fun. Don Diego Zorro saves the lady and there's a more banter with Bernardo in this whole language thing. So he finds out that that Ramirez and you know that this whole thing of betting and possibly more slavery and maybe some sort of just very bad behavior has been happening in in Los Angeles and he's not happy with that. And he wonders about his legacy of his father because Ramirez was very close to his father. So that bothers him. He checks into with Lolita who had been injured and she's faring a lot better being the independent lady that she is. She tracks down a Puma and yeah accidentally saves Don Diego's De La Vega's life and there's a quick little banter there. She's not really in it a lot. There's actually a real important subplot brewing with her mom Lucia and the Russian lady. So that is something to look out for because there's just a moment there at a big dinner where Lucia is trying to do something that gets the attention of the Russian lady and we won't kind of tell you what it is because I do want you to check it out for yourself. I gotta tell you man again there's so many storylines going on that it's incredible to see fun writing great characters all working as one. You just don't see that with a lot of these television shows that are genre specific. So the big thing here is Zorro Don Diego De La Vega is trying to find that balance. He does not have a problem now with delivering justice to bad people and you see that he does it with confidence. What he's having a hard time doing is playing the persona of Don Diego now accepting in his face in public the whipping of like the Chinese mind workers. This the Mao conditions that they're living in and in the just the horrible behavior that is attributed towards him and you can see it bothers him as it should because that's who Zorro is and I think it's absolutely wonderful and to wrap up that kind of feeling that his legend has grown. You know the Chinese girl that initially wrote the Z down she is just so excited to have met Zorro as like this legend is growing she's like oh my god you're real of course she said that Chinese but you're getting that the legend is growing that it's not Zorro is not just for you know the the Indians or the mestizos or the Mexicans he's there for everyone and that is that is that is awesome that is awesome so I said this ends in a cliffhanger before I get to that he visits Don Diego he visits Alejandro his his father's grave very touching moment and as he leaves and lays down flowers a mysterious woman shows up as well an older woman played by Cecilia Suarez she doesn't say anything she doesn't say anything she lays down flowers as well she gets in her in her in her stagecoach and it has the GM kind of a coat of arms there then we cut to New York New York of all places and this I gotta get some more information but this new character gets the gets these gets these papers in as far as these people who are wanted in California listen everyone wants Don Diego de la Vega's land to where the this group from from from New to New York and they're definitely American I don't know if they're Pinkerton's or who are they but they want they are going to California and they want his land but they gotta like they gotta take out some people who are wanted I mean this is this is really becoming a bigger scope situation here and look I'm all for it now what happens is that the Chinese woman may that he saved runs away she gets scared and she runs away from a Zoro's cave she steals a tornado by you know but tornado comes back and she gets caught again at Ramirez's place so Ramirez lays a trap and captures Zoro and at the very end of the of this episode Ramirez who's a great actor this guy all the actors are just killing it in this show takes off Zoro's mask and he's like Don Diego why am I not surprised and he says look man I was there I was there when they pulled the trigger and killed your dad I was there I mean he's such a villain oh god he says and right before he shoots him Don Diego says just give me this request tell me who killed my father it's like oh you'd like to know that wouldn't you it's like no I want you to go to hell and you can go he'll tell him when you meet him in hell it was just like what is going on what did he do what what secret is does the did the father take to the grave of them I mean there's just so much right that we still don't know and I'm like yes that's how it should be ah you don't want to spill it all this these people know how to tell stories and it ends and it's a cliffhanger it's a complete cliffhanger episode four is called revenge so you know some some some's gonna wrap up there again I like this episode in that they introduce brand new characters like I said the world becomes bigger but the whole thing of introducing more characters in the city of Los Angeles in that pueblo is just right on the money with great storytelling music is fantastic I'm seeing a great soundtrack at the end of every episode they have a new song playing this is rock and roll man you know the the vibe is getting just more more bold more more more more confidence in in this in the directing in the the look and feel and listen some of that fighting was like the best fighting of the of the of the show so far okay that's my review spoilers and all that good stuff I'm gonna give this one the same as before in 8.5 this is fantastic storytelling it's different than the episode before which I loved so much this adds to it this expands on it there's other things I did leave out it couldn't get to everything but that's all right because I want you to go and see it it's called the bet um let's uh okay so there's my rating let's give you guys another video right here another Zorro centric video that you need to see right now don't go anywhere else until you see this video right now they come on back for more reviews here in the latino slant Zorro 2024 justice serve baby
