Even better than the first one! From the production to the story line . Highly recommended !

An amazing show. Looking forward to season 3 premiere scheduled in a few days. Acting level is damn high and true within all characters. Entirely in Mexican slang (unlike 'queen of south' w/A. Braga) it makes you feel totally wrapped into the "estile culici" and their of living, talking and acting. Kate del Castillo is a very talented actress giving to the audience loads of true and deep emotions. It took me less than 20 days for all the 123 episodes. This is called 'addiction'! Being italian I have to say I'm proud of Raul Bova's solid performance ;) You will love this show and will feel kind of emptiness by the time it'll be over !

I liked very much "La Reina del Sur". I saw all the 63 episodes. All of them are full of action, nice sceneries, Mexico, Spain, North Africa...the story is well written, above all, Tereza Mendonza is a character that makes you fall in love with her, she is fantastic. Not only her, but all the cast is wonderful. Something I liked is that even after getting involved with drug dealing, with the mafia, Teresa Mendonza kept her principles, even before, in prison, she got a lot of influence due to personality and principles. There, in prison, she would get some of her best friends and change her life forever. What is also nice to watch is the work of the agents of the DEA (Drugs Enforcement Agency.

I fully recommend anyone seeing it.

I have never watched Spanish language dramas ever before. I am die hard reality TV fan. While browsing Netflix and running out of options this show popped up as recommendation. I just clicked on it out of boredom with no intention of watching even 10 mins of show as. I hate to read subtitles and this was long series and I was sure I was not going through. I watched 5 mins of the show and was glued, I am. Intrigued. I enjoyed this series thoroughly. It has element of all human emotions and relation. Love, friendships, betrayal, death, drugs, bisexuality. I wont lie but I cried through the series more than few times. I loved the relationships Theresa held with her Russian friend, with patty, with colejo (hope that's her name), with pote.i finished this series in 3 days. I was binge watching like there wont be tomorrow. I didn't cook on Sunday and ordered pizza as I was hooked to the screen. You won't regret watching it, give it a shot!!

This series is unexpectable, always full of surprises & new ideas. It's worth watching specially Season 2.

It is a very good narco series. Actually, my favorite is "Pablo Escobar el Patrón del Mal" and I watched quite a good number of such stuff but I tell you this one is very good. By the way Oleg Yamschikov looks like a real russian. Well done.

The first two seasons kept my attention. And I loved the cartel action, the acting and storyline. But season 3 is theresa and her daughter in trouble, saved, in trouble again. Very predictable and just not fun to watch. Lots of change of locations which keeps some excitement but theresa and her daughter falling in love just doesnt keep the viewer's attention. Overall, not worth the time to watch all those episodes.

Initially I thought this would be fun to watch but the constant fall from one trauma or disaster to the next with little balance became exhausting. The lead actress makes for a great heroine however. I'll have to try and find another one of her series to watch without all the over the top drama and ridiculous coincidences.

It is so addicting. I could not put it down Saw season 2 In 6 days straight and I never watch TV Full of action As an actress myself loved it The actors are very talented. Can't wait for season 3!!!!

Sandra Del CID.

I was looking forward to S3 but I've turned off at EP5 as the script and acting is atrocious. Each episode is 2 steps forward and always 2 steps back. The characters get nowhere. Terresas daughter will get them all killed. She's like a naughty puppy who never does as she's told to keep everyone safe. As for the lead character Terresa is showing her true age. The producers have really messed this season up. It's just like watching a daytime soap opera like neighbours or such like. I won't be watching anymore Telemundo productions. Is this meant to be a comedy? If so then i might understand why .

Super excellent. I am yet to see such a gripping thriller with excellent story handled in varied planes. The series keeps you gript for 124 episodes. You can't just leave it. Finished Season 1 & 2. Waiting for Season 3. The acting of Kate del Castillo is just brilliant. Wonder when would Hollywood come up with stories handled so brilliantly. Kudos to the entire team.

La Reina Del Sur is the best. I can't wait to see season 3. This is definitely a binge worthy series. I hope the seasons continue coming. This show will have your emotions all over the place. And you have no choice but to love Teresa Mendoza and hate her enemies. I've watched all 133 Episodes and is very impatient to continue watching Season 3. I hope season 3 keeps with the same excitement and twists as the first too. The actors are great, besides Teresa, Oleg is the greatest. I was and still isn't thrilled about the changed in character. The 2nd Oleg is okay but I wish the 1st one could come back. His skills as an actor and his demeanor made the Oleg character what he should be, calm, calculated, keen insight , a beautiful mind and a total badass. I love this series.

The writers keep you on the edge of your seat. The drama never stops. The story is phenomenal. Riveting. You can't wait for more. I love this show.

Kate del Castillo has to be the sexiest woman on planet earth. Unbelievable believable performance. No question Kate del Castillo and Teresa Mendoza are one and the same person. Kate is Teresa. Teresa is Kate. I would marry this woman in a heartbeat if she would say yes. I love this woman. She is queen of the south, east, west and north as well as hell and heaven. What a woman!!!

The entire cast is phenomenal. Everyone shines. This is without question the greatest show of all time. Every character is memorable. All well played. Everyone is at the top of their game.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EVER!!!

I loved seasons 1 and 2 and was disappointed with season 3.

Season 1 had a story, and you could see her becoming strong and powerful. It had good plot twists, and it will keep your attention. You will feel her power. She went from the girl who was forced to run from the cartel to becoming "La Reina del Sur". She was nobody and she used her brain and become the most powerful woman in criminal. In this season you can see Teresas' character develop.

Season 2 was good if you look at the story and good plot twists. But I must say that I didn't feel her power as much as I did in the first season. There were some scenes where you could see how smart and powerful she was, but there were some scenes where she was grasping at straws

Season 3 is all over the place. The producers thought that flashy screens and generally good filmmaking would keep viewers' attention. I hate this season. Generally, I didn't like most of the characters in this season but Teresas' character I couldn't stand.

The first season of this was barely tolerable, the second is just plain silly! The situations "La Reina" gets into are just unreal, surpassed only by how she gets out of them. It is very formula driven in that with each horrible situation from which she escapes, a man whom she has just met, has to die. Often, she is saved by people who miraculously reappear from her past to save her. The "acting" is pretty bad but this genre does feed a constant need that exists in the world of Telenovela throughout Latin America.

My second edit. From a 7 to a 6 and now to a 3 after watching season 2 completely. Promising start but developing into a weak soap series full of nonsense. This ridiculous story could have been told in 20 episodes. Please try some natural, realistic dialogues next time.

Crime? No suspence. Comedy? Not funny enough. A failed combination of both. At some points nice to watch because of the locations, atmosphere and some of the characters. But compared to the American version Queen of the South this one is total rubbish. Too much episodes, slow playing, bad acting, unreal events and no suspense thanks to a lot of silly characters. The 'American' Teresa is much more impressive and the story has more speed.

This might just be the worst series I have seen on Netflix. And believe me I have a seen a few real stinkers. It is like a really bad Mexican soap opera and the acting is not even up to the standard of the bit part players (the ones who get a part because they help with painting the scenery) in the average village amateur theatre group. So please, watch something else, anything else, yes even Love Island but stay away from this dross..

Such a overrated serie. I give it a try, expected a good serie because of the story line, but after few episodes I STOPPED watching it. Most because it has so much unreal events.

Don't like this version The Alice Braga version as Teresa is far superior Cast script filming here is weak compared to QUEEN OF THE SOUTH This is weak silly unreal Hmmm.

The show is good, but i had to stop when they started talking about Morocco. It was a bad representation. No you don't have to wear a veil and walk behind a man. Women are free to do as they please. For some things you'll get backlash from, yes, but only from the older generation like any other country. Women can walk alone They don't need a man They don't need a veil They don't need sht Islam doesn't enforce needing a man to walk around.
