Cancún is already pretty well-packaged for tourists. So this week’s Hack Your City is a challenge: what lays undiscovered in this young city? What has sprung up outside the crowded strip of beach resorts? And what tricks help locals get by in this tourist-dominated town?

The end of year offerings from Netflix were grim, so it is with pleasure that I welcome the bumper crop of entertainment in this week’s harvest.
