Default Spanish in Spanish film

I'm currently watching a netflix series called Queen of the south. It'sbout a woman rising through the ranks of a drug cartel to become the Queen of the south, and wonder the following..

Most of the the cast are Mexican and theres often times where they speak spanish but mid sentence they will flip to English and the back to Spanish.

It's not just this series but all series/ movies I watch with more than one language being spoken.

Any reason why they do this?

Try keeping up with a conversation when they flip from spanish castilian to catalan.

Sure they do it on purpose to confuse me
