The only hitch is now they actually have to come up with the app which is easier said than done. If you're a fan of Mexican comedies in the vein of 'Bankrolled' then you may also enjoy, 'The War Next Door' and 'Rebelión de los Godinez’.

If you're not looking for comedies, then some other content set in Mexico such as 'Somos', 'Dance Of The Forty One' and 'Dark Desire' should be your best bet. Time to brush up on the Spanish.
