The pacing may feel slow for viewers expecting a Narcos -style adrenaline rush. The first episode focuses more on establishing character and bureaucratic corruption than on action. Also, the sheer number of names and organizations (ANFP, CONMEBOL, FIFAGate) can be overwhelming at first.

The first episode of El Presidente , titled "The Accidental Leader" (depending on the version), wastes no time pulling viewers into the murky world of international football corruption. Based on the real-life events of the 2015 FIFA scandal, the series centers on Sergio Jadue, a small-town Chilean club president who gets swept up in a web of bribery, power, and betrayal.
