Ultimately, the premiere of El Presidente is a confident and cynical introduction to a story about the anti-heroes of the boardroom. It successfully hooks the audience not by asking them to root for a team to win a match, but by inviting them to watch a house of cards inevitably collapse. By grounding its drama in the outrageous reality of the 2015 corruption scandal, the show creates a compelling argument that the truth of football corruption is far stranger—and more entertaining—than fiction. The episode concludes with the distinct feeling that the whistle has just blown, signaling the start of a very dirty game.
