SERIES PREMIERE: Here comes El Rey’s second original series – and this one is a modern take, and spin, on the old I Spy concept of having a globally competing athlete working undercover as a spy. That Sixties classic used the world of tennis as a cover, but Matador uses football. Not American football – world football, what we in the U.S. commonly call soccer. Gabriel Luna stars as Tony Bravo, a gifted athlete who’s drafted by CIA operative Annie Mason (Nicky Whelan, of Scrubs and Franklin & Bash) to investigate both a particular team owner in particular and criminal bad guys in general. And premiering just a few days after the conclusion of the World Cup, you have to give El Rey points for good timing, if for nothing else.
