Traffic

2004 · 1 season

A grim, tangled look at trafficking that keeps you tense and uneasy, with little relief.

Tagline: Drugs Were Just The Beginning.
Overview: It's a life-and-death struggle for most secret agents on America's borders — in the sinister and seductive world of illegal trafficking, most supply and demand isn't for drugs: it's for chemical goods, weapons and even human beings. When three men attempt to apprehend the elusive criminals behind these illicit trade organizations, they find their lives intertwined in ways they never could have imagined.
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and bleak. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, corruption, survival, betrayal
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
