    Full of surprises

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

    Amazing. You'll get addicted!

    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 !

    Can't wait to watch season 3

    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.

    Season 3 lost its way

    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.

    Super Brilliant Gripping Thriller

    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.
