The story of some drug-smuggling Mexican Mennonites, descendants of "Old Colony" Mennonites who had first immigrated to western Canada from Russia (migrating to Russia from Dutch-Prussian regions areas previously) in the 1870s is factual. However, presenting them in the garb and customs of the "Old Order" Mennonites who settled in Ontario and the eastern parts of the U.S. from the Swiss-South German regions of Europe beginning in the late 18th C. is to completely garble the story and the history of the respective peoples. Ethnically, they are different people. Linguistically, they speak different dialects of German. Of course, the producers may not care about authenticity at all, and felt that the audience would be disappointed at the relatively normal appearance of the Mexican Mennonites so they went for the more quaint Old Order look. People might want to watch this series, but they should do so understanding it is entertainment, not an accurate presentation of events or peoples.
