The drama starring Michael Chiklis as a rogue Border Patrol agent who finds himself thrust into a high stakes escape from a dangerous Mexican cartel has a structure is just as confusing as its protagonist, says Caroline Framke. "To be blunt: a show that asks its audience to connect to a rogue Border Patrol agent with literal blood on his hands needs to work harder than this one does to justify its premise," says Framke. "As it stands, Coyote just feels like it was written by Ben himself while bored in retirement and itching for something more awesome to do than eat cereal alone and leave Home Depot parking lots without arresting anyone. It makes sense why he would see himself as the most fascinating person in his own story, but actually watching it unfold makes it difficult to agree."
