The public seemed to waffle on whether the show was good or bad for Latinxs.
The reality series was intended, in part, to move past the stereotypes of drug cartels and violence.
However, when the cast was revealed, the show was accused of white-washing.
The nine cast members are mostly light skinned with several blonde's in the mix, as well as American ex-pats, like Liz.
'I hope that having some of the characters such as myself - people who have moved from the US to Mexico, brings a different perspective,' the blonde explained to DailyMailTV.
She expanded, 'A lot of times people don't imagine Mexico City the way that it actually is.'
Alicia questioned the newly minted reality star about the 'push back' since most of country doesn't live like the cast does; as well as the criticism about the cast being mostly light skinned.

Cartels and crime: The show aims to move away from the idea that Mexico is a land of cartels and crime and show the country in a different way
'I mean, that's definitely true,' the Netflix star admitted about economic disparity. 'There's a lot of poverty.'
But, she went on to explain that part of the reason she decided to participate in the series was to show Mexico in a different light.
Mexico City and the country of Mexico 'doesn't seem to be represented in such a positive way' in film and television.
While the series is trying to adjust the image of it's home country, it is, at it's core, a reality show and will come with all the usual drama.
The first episode even features an ultra swanky baptism party go awry when one cast member dips too heavily into the tequila and tries to fight a live bull.
And, like any good unscripted drama, there will be a villain but Liz is coy about who that will be.
'Maybe there is somebody is a villain in my book,' she teased, 'but I guess you guys will have to watch.'
Made In Mexico is currently streaming on Netflix.
