Season 2 Review:
A series that grants a measure of grace to a morally challenged female character, Teresa, whose loyalty to Camila is fertilized not by blind trust or fear, but survival and vengeance. These new episodes elevate these ingredients far more than the first season ever did, and the plot and performances are immediately much more compelling because of this new emphasis.

Season 1 Review:
The show sells us on the idea that pretty, wide-smiling Teresa can become a capable, even vicious, defender of her own hide when threatened, and that Queen of the South might be able to tell a familiar story in a fresh way. The first hour has been beautifully directed by Charlotte Sieling, with lots of lulling silences between action scenes, creating an atmosphere in which anything--any deal, any conversation, any room--can explode at any moment.

Season 1 Review:
What Queen needs to decide is if it wants to tell the complicated origin story of a drug lord, Breaking Bad-style, or if it’s fine being a shallow-but-entertaining thriller. Right now, it’s trying to be both, and, as the first episode shows, straddling the line can be a one-way ticket to ruin.

Season 1 Review:
Braga is terrific in the lead role, and the supporting cast is equally capable, which helps counterbalance the unnaturally hurried pacing of the pilot. In short, a lot of stuff happens in the first episode, too much to be believed, but the character of Teresa and Braga’s performance are enough to pique our interest. And if the rest doesn’t really hit the basic credibility bar, no one’s likely to complain much.

Season 1 Review:
The queenpin's past as a minor drug-trade figure's girlfriend is compressed in the pilot to the point that it's nearly impossible to avoid stereotypes. Since that's the opposite of what occurred in telenovela adaptations like the CW's Jane the Virgin and ABC's earlier Ugly Betty, Queen of the South starts off looking like a step backward, a show that instead of building a bridge between cultures--we have our Breaking Bad, why shouldn't they?--chooses instead a wall.

Suburb writing and character development. Top-notch show. 10 Stars for an off-the-charts drama.

Good serie... good characters, good story, good actors. And even the "star" been a drug dealer there is no apology for the criminals' lifestyle. They are aware that if they continue on this path they will either die or end up in jail.
