Zorro - Mask Games / The Myth

In “Mask Games,” Diego’s (Miguel Bernardeau) actions force the Governor (Rodolfo Sancho) to put up the Ramirez land for auction. With the help of the an unlikely ally, and Mei (Chacha Huang) as their go between, Diego is able to keep the Russians from the bidding on the land although he himself is also kept away with his introduction to the secret cult of the Bear Clan, leaving Bernardo (Paco Tous) to place the last minute winning bid. So far, the fumbled development of the secret society has been one of the show’s only mistakes.

Zorro - The Bet

“The Bet” feels like a very traditional episode of Zorro while also looping in another group of people often overlooked during the years of Zorro’s adventures. After her sister Mei (Chacha Huang) is lost in a game of poker to an unscrupulous local landowner, a young woman turns to Zorro to help. The humor from the episode comes from not knowing exactly how to contact him, and even after the pair come together, how to communicate with each other which is where Bernardo (Paco Tous) comes in.

Zorro - The Chosen One / Inheritance

Filmed in the Spanish Canary Islands, the new Zorro offers a reinterpretation of his character opening with the deaths of both Zorro and Alejandro De La Vega in the opening scenes. Our Zorro is a Native American warrior, the latest to pick up the mantle bestowed on them after being chosen. Both men fall to the corruption of California under the thumb of an unscrupulous Governor (Rodolfo Sancho). After this we meet the clever Diego de la Vega (Miguel Bernardeau) who leaves his schooling and training in Spain after learning of his father’s death to assume control of his lands and learn the truth about his murder (which has been blamed on the now dead Zorro).
