"Kingpin" is an American crime/drama mini-series which debuted on the NBC network in the U.S. and CTV in Canada on February 2, 2003 and lasted 6 episodes. NBC's answer to "The Sopranos" and also influenced by "The Godfather", "Macbeth" and "Traffik", the story was about a Mexican drug trafficker named Miguel Cadena (Yancey Arias) and his family life.
