Telemundo Operación Pacífico spoilers indicate the gran estreno happened last night. We saw a little bit of a stir online, as at least one market appeared to have a glitch in the broadcast. However, the 1 AM airing went off without a hitch last night. Let’s take a look at this new series and some takeaways from episode one.
Telemundo Operación Pacífico Spoilers: True story
We were surprised to see an intro at the beginning of the episode that revealed this was based on real events. The episode opened with words typed in the screen that told us about the character Amalia Ortega (Majida Issa) and her team’s battle against a criminal organization. This eventually led to the line about real events making up a big part of this story. A lot of the narco novelas are, but this is the first one we remember seeing that made that obvious a point out of it. So, what went down?
Telemundo Operación Pacífico Spoilers: Personal issues
An interview with Mark Tacher, who plays Gabriel Pedraza on the show promised we’d see the personal problems of the team. They delivered on that. In particular, Amalia seems to be having the worst time right now. She lies to her children about where she’s going, and she’s not able to be home often. In the premiere, we saw her beg off helping with homework, as well as going to a parent/teacher thing. This has put a strain on her marriage.
Operaócion Pacífico spoilers indicate her husband, Jorge Camacho (Luciano D’Alessandro) is over it. We aren’t sure how long Amalia’s been working this job, but she’s part of a clandestine group that takes on dangerous missions. The strain on their union is real. For instance, in one scene, we see him turn away from her just before they’re about to have sex because he discovered a bruise that was caused by a bullet.

In the other instance, he’s clearly irritated when he has to make the time in his schedule for that last-minute meeting at the school. We get the sense his job comes second a lot, and he’s angry about it. So angry, in fact, he sleeps with another woman.
As some of you might remember, Majida was once on the show Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso. On that one, she was drug trafficker Yésica “La Diabla” Beltrán. She was hunted by former friend/DEA agent Catalina Santana (Carmen Villalobos). The difference in the actresses and their teams is vast. Issa was far more commanding and believable in her portrayal of Amalia, and her team seems infinity more competent than Catalina and her team. In the first episode alone, we saw two operations. One seemed to be a failure, but they actually did get their objective. The second was mostly a success, but the sticking point came from uncontrollable outside circumstances.
Telemundo Operación Pacífico Spoilers: The trouble begins
That second mission we mentioned has to do with her husband. The woman Jorge hooked up with is actually an employee of Espinosa “El Guapo” Roldán (Julio Bracho), the narco Amalia is after. The affair allowed the bad guys to tamper with Jorge’s phone, which gave them valuable intel to escape last-second.
Another thing we liked about the premiere was the contrasts. We watched as Jorge tackled fractions with the kids while Amalia was in a dangerous raid. We also saw the complicated dance she does. Operación Pacífico spoilers reveal she was on the phone with both her sister, Mariana Ortega (Johanna Fadul) and Jorge dealing with their kids while she was waiting to jump into action. You feel her own frustration, as she’d begged him to be home in time to care for the kids because the mission couldn’t wait. It ended with Jorge being used against her, as his sidepiece took his hostage to reverse El Guapo’s fortunes. We’ll be looking forward to what’s next.
