“Rosario Tijeras (Mexico)” ran for five seasons and 277 episodes, a run that began on October 30, 2016 and ended on June 24, 2026. It is a crime drama built on a collision: a young woman from the other side of the tracks, bent on vengeance, pulls two well-off friends into her orbit. Netflix, Azteca Trece and Azteca 7 carried it. Bárbara de Regil plays Rosario Tijeras. TMDB’s audience score stands at 7.8 out of 10, from 2,063 votes. That is the number this review lands on, and it is the right one.
A Vengeance-Obsessed Woman From the Other Side of the Tracks
The premise is spare, and the show’s best decision is refusing to dress it up. Rosario Tijeras wants payback. That want is the engine, not a wound the series explains away. Two friends with money and comfort on their side meet her and cannot leave her alone. The show’s title character is the one with nothing, and she is the one who sets the terms. Everything that follows grows from that imbalance.
Bárbara de Regil carries the part across all five seasons. That is a long time to hold a character whose defining trait is a grudge, and the show’s structure asks her to do it without softening. The two friends exist to show what Rosario is not: settled, protected, unmarked. Worlds collide, per the show’s own setup, and the collision is the point.
Five Seasons, 277 Episodes, and a Decade on Air
The numbers matter here. Five seasons is a full run. 277 episodes is a lot of story. And the run stretches from 2016 to 2026 — a decade of television, which is rare for any drama and rarer for one that never changes its central question.
Here is the shape of it:
- Network: Netflix, Azteca Trece, Azteca 7
- First aired: 2016-10-30
- Last aired: 2026-06-24
- Seasons: 5
- Episodes: 277
- Genres: Drama, Crime
- Lead: Bárbara de Regil as Rosario Tijeras
- TMDB audience score: 7.8/10 (2,063 votes)
That last figure is the one to hold onto. 2,063 votes is not a huge sample for a show with 277 episodes and a decade behind it. It is a real score from real viewers, but it is a modest tally, and it tells you the audience that bothered to rate it was committed rather than vast.
The Schedule That Shaped the Run
The run was not a single network’s project. Three outlets carried it — Netflix alongside Azteca Trece and Azteca 7 — and the dates tell the story of a show that kept going long after most dramas stop.
| Milestone | Date |
|---|---|
| First episode aired | October 30, 2016 |
| Final episode aired | June 24, 2026 |
| Seasons | 5 |
| Episodes | 277 |
| Networks | Netflix, Azteca Trece, Azteca 7 |
Ten years between the first episode and the last. Whatever else you say about “Rosario Tijeras (Mexico),” it did not quit early, and it did not get quietly cancelled. It finished.
Bárbara de Regil and the Weight of the Title Role
A show named for its lead lives or dies on that lead, and this one put Bárbara de Regil at the center for the whole run. The role asks for a woman who is obsessed with vengeance and who draws comfortable people toward her anyway. That is a hard thing to sustain without turning the character into either a symbol or a victim. The show’s setup — the other side of the tracks, the two well-off friends — keeps her in motion.
The two friends are not named in the material, and that is worth noting. The show’s own description treats them as a pair, a unit, defined by their money and their comfort. Rosario is the one with a name in the logline and the one with a name in the cast list. That hierarchy is deliberate.
Drama and Crime, and Where the Two Meet
The genres are listed as Drama and Crime, and the show sits in the overlap rather than picking a side. The crime is the circumstance. The drama is the collision. A vengeance-obsessed woman and two well-off friends is a crime setup, but the show’s interest is in what the three of them do to each other.
That is also where the show’s limits show. A premise this clean can carry a lot of episodes, but it cannot carry them all equally. 277 episodes is a long time to keep a single grudge interesting, and the show’s own description never promises more than that grudge. It promises a collision, not a resolution.
What 7.8 Out of 10 Actually Means
TMDB’s audience score for “Rosario Tijeras (Mexico)” is 7.8 out of 10, drawn from 2,063 votes. That is a good score. It is not a great one, and the gap between good and great is exactly where this show lives. A 7.8 says viewers who watched it liked it, and liked it enough to rate it. It does not say they loved it without reservation.
The vote count backs that up. For a show that ran 277 episodes across five seasons and three networks, 2,063 ratings is a small crowd. Compare that to the reach the show had — a decade on air, a Netflix run, two Azteca channels — and the number looks like a devoted core rather than a mass audience. That is not a knock. It is a description.
The Case for the Run
Here is what the show gets right, and it is not a small thing. It commits. Rosario Tijeras is vengeance-obsessed from the start, and the show does not walk that back. The two well-off friends stay in her orbit because the show needs them there, and the collision between her world and theirs is the whole architecture. Five seasons and 277 episodes is proof the architecture held.
Bárbara de Regil is the reason it held. A title role across that many episodes is a grind, and the character’s defining trait never softens into something easier. The show trusts its lead and its premise, and it does not add a second engine to keep things moving. That restraint is rare in a long-running crime drama.
The Case Against
The same restraint is the problem. One grudge, two friends, one collision — that is a premise, not a plot. Across 277 episodes, a show needs more than a premise, and the material never suggests “Rosario Tijeras (Mexico)” found a second one. The description reads the same at episode one as it does at episode 277. That is consistency, and it is also a ceiling.
The score reflects that ceiling. 7.8 is a solid number, and it is the number of a show that did one thing well for a very long time rather than a show that kept finding new things to do. The 2,063 votes are the other half of the story: a decade on air, and the audience that rated it is small.
The Verdict on Rosario Tijeras (Mexico)
“Rosario Tijeras (Mexico)” is a crime drama that knew what it was and stayed that way for five seasons. Bárbara de Regil plays the title role across all 277 episodes, from the October 30, 2016 premiere to the June 24, 2026 finale, on Netflix, Azteca Trece and Azteca 7. The premise — a vengeance-obsessed woman from the other side of the tracks, two well-off friends, a collision — never changes, and the show never asks it to.
That is the whole case, for and against. A 7.8 out of 10 from 2,063 TMDB voters is the right score for a show with this shape: committed, consistent, and narrower than its ten-year run suggests. It is worth watching for Bárbara de Regil and for a premise that does not flinch. It is not worth expecting it to become something else.
