Kingpin is an American crime drama television series which debuted on NBC in the United States and CTV in Canada on February 2, 2003, and lasted 6 episodes. The series detailed a Mexican drug trafficker named Miguel Cadena (Yancey Arias) and his family life. Low ratings and the network's discomfort with airing a show with a drug trafficker protagonist resulted in the show's cancellation.[1] Commercials on NBC featured the song『Más』by the Mexican band Kinky, which also featured in the series.[2]
