Leopard Skin is a thrilling crime drama series, exclusive to Peacock Premium, that premiered in 2022. The show features an all-star cast including Carla Gugino, Ana de la Reguera, and Gaite Jansen, who deliver impeccable performances in their roles. Set in the picturesque and lively Riviera Maya of Mexico, Leopard Skin is about crime and corruption within the world of high-end tourism.

The story follows the character of Zoe (played by Carla Gugino), a recently widowed American expat, who owns a luxurious hotel named Casa Colibri. Her idyllic life and business are threatened when a young male employee of her hotel is killed. Zoe becomes drawn into the dangerous and secret world of her hotel staff and its underlying criminality. She sets out to uncover the truth behind the murder and protect not only her own livelihood but also the reputation of the high-end tourism world in the Riviera.

Alongside Zoe, the police detective Marisol (Ana de la Reguera) is also investigating the murder case, and soon Zoe and Marisol join forces to find the killer. Together, they discover the depth of corruption and deception within the luxury tourism industry. They need to tackle political corruption and powerful drug cartels to get to the heart of the matter.

Gaite Jansen plays Laura, a seasoned journalist who is investigating the same case as Zoe and Marisol. Throughout the series, she offers a different perspective on the events, investigating and providing context for the complex web of events that Zoe and Marisol are caught up in.

One of the nuanced elements of Leopard Skin is the way it confronts the complexity of power dynamics, race, and class privilege in the contemporary Mexico. The show's cultural diversity is another aspect that makes it unique. The story is brought to life by a cast of explicitly diverse characters drawn from different communities and socio-economic strata.

The production design, cinematography, and editing are all exceptional, as they create a visual masterpiece that sets the Riviera Maya as an additional character of the show. The soundtrack is also worth mentioning as the score is a mix of Mexican folklore and modern pop music.

In conclusion, Leopard Skin is an engaging and well-acted series that explores the complexity of corruption and crime within the tourism industry. The multi-dimensional characters all give excellent performances, and the beauty of the Riviera Maya adds a fascinating backdrop to the story. The show is full of twists and turns, and it will keep you at the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Definitely a must-watch for all crime drama fans.
