Estebans deep, dark secret doesnt feel shocking enough for all the time devoted to building it up.

Sixto (Jorge Perugorría), Andy Lujan (Diego Luna), Esteban Osuna (Gael García Bernal), Viejo Comisionada Del Boxeo (Fermín Martínez), and Protasio (Mercito Gesta), shown.

Despite all of that, though, the chemistry between Bernal and Luna remains off the charts.

But its a good reminder of why they work so well together.

All six episodes ofLa Maquinaare now streaming on Hulu.
