Profugos is a Chilean television series created by Pablo Larraín, which aired on HBO Latino from 2011 to 2013. The series is a crime drama that revolves around the story of four men who are on the run after a failed drug deal. The series starts with a major drug transaction between a group of Chilean gangsters and a Mexican cartel, which goes awry resulting in the deaths of several people. The Mexican cartel realized that they were double-crossed by the Chileans and now want their money back, and the Chilean gangsters went on the run to save their lives. The plot revolves around the conflicts between these different groups as they try to outsmart each other.

The four men who were working for the Chilean gangsters become fugitives hunted down by the cartel, the Chilean police and even the CIA. They must survive in a hostile and violent world where everyone is after them, and no one can be trusted. The characters of the four men are fleshed out as the story progresses, and viewers learn about their backgrounds and motivations.

Machi, played by Francisco Reyes, is a former policeman who went rogue. He had always wanted to be a free man, and now he has a chance to be one when he joins the drug trade. Vicente, played by Néstor Cantillana, is a nerd with a love for technology. He has been employed by the Chilean gangsters for his hacking skills, but now he is on the run with them.

Mario, played by Benjamín Vicuña, is a pilot who was forced by circumstances to get involved in the drug trade. He is trying hard to keep a clean record and just wants to get out of the mess as soon as possible. Finally, there is Álvaro, played by Cristián de la Fuente, a family man who just happened to cross paths with the Chilean gangsters. Now he is on the run with them, trying to protect his family.

Over the course of the series, viewers are taken on a thrilling journey through a dangerous game where everything is at stake, and all bets are off. The series has a gritty and realistic portrayal of the drug trade and its impact on people's lives. The characters' struggles and motivations are well developed and are a significant highlight of the show.

While the series is set in Chile and explores the country's social, economic and political problems, the themes are universal. The story depicts the moral dilemmas that people face every day, and how they choose to act in desperate situations. The action scenes are well choreographed and keep the viewers on the edge of their seats.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the show is its exploration of the interplay between different power dynamics. The series examines the drug trade's influence on political and economic powers, as well as its impact on everyday people's lives. The series is not limited to a single viewpoint but includes the perspectives of several characters, which makes it more engaging and compelling.

The cinematography of the show is outstanding, and the visuals capture the tension and danger of the situation perfectly. The music and sound effects are also well executed and add to the show's overall atmosphere.

Overall, Profugos is an excellent series that keeps viewers engaged throughout its runtime. It's well written and performed, with multidimensional characters and a complex plot that keeps the viewers guessing.
