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

La Reina del Sur 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 !
La Reina Del Sur
danielgaraujo28 April 2012
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!!
Full of surprises

A good narco series
maxnikitin21 September 2019
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.
Season 3 lost its way
courtjes22 December 2018
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
anibose19 February 2021
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.
Too much mess
tadaia23 March 2020
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.
Can't wait to watch season 3
alijames-3234427 February 2023
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.
Best ever!!!
hwsands26 June 2023
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!!!

For the effort
Maafushi26 March 2021
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.

Way beyond awful
mikegibb-6041817 February 2020
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..
Mexican Telenovela Version of "Wonder Woman"
qui_j4 December 2019
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.
Terrible script
garyrobinson-325727 January 2023
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 .
Don't waste your time on this serie!

Islamophobic and bad representation of Morocco
mileyluvzu21 June 2020
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.
Season 1 and Season 2 are totally different
staciannadams2 December 2022
I love loved the first season of La Reina del Sur. Smart writing, amazing cast and nicely paced. The character Theresa is gritty, determined and above all else, very intelligent. Season 2 would have us believe that Theresa is an inexperienced, half hysterical fool. This is a woman who rose up from the gutter to be one of the worlds greatest narco traffickers. If you watch season 2 you will be shocked to see Theresa stumbling around crying, trusting the wrong people, ignoring huge red flags when dealing with colleagues and associates, as well as dismissing the advice of her good friend and mentor the Russia. It's almost comical in its absurdity. The story line with her daughter is like pulling teeth. Thank you I don't need to watch another episode about what the girl is eating in the basement of her kidnappers house while playing with glow in the dark fluorescent markers. Come on. The plot is so slow I've dozed off more than once. None of it rings true. I'd give Season 1 a solid 8.5/10. I'd give season 2 a 4/10.
La Reina del Sur
jjtmydyt5 December 2022
I heard so much hype about this series but was very disappointed with it. To start the acting is sooooooo bad that it didn't say much for Mexican acting schools.
The only ones that were descent actors were TERESA and Paty. I kept watching it hoping it would get better but unfortunately not. The plots are so predictable that it's pathetic. Had this been directed better and had good actors it could have been a good series. The population that watches and enjoys this series is obviously in love with the idea of being in love. The subtitles are really badly translated into English and haven't checked the other languages. It's a good thing that I understand Spanish. They really screwed up with this series and yet she has gotten so much fame from it.
Update I watched season 2 and it was way better than season 1 Actually looking forward to season 3
Her other series is much better. Ingobernable.

Season 3 last episode made in a hurry
pdparekh-6912428 September 2023
We watched and waited patiently for 182 episodes for certain things to happen, (most of them predictable) and the director, story teller ran out of ideas and suddenly they were in a hurry to wrap things up!! Very disappointing. The last scene .... money is important and not relations??? There were certain romantic and kissing scenes , which were unnecessary and out of place which hurt the flow and rythm of the story. But why kill the other sister ? Some characters had to be continued till the end but director had no logical reason to end their role. Grand mother in SPAIN, the other sister, Anton.
La Reyna de nada
ailenetefera6 February 2024
The fact that they made such a great series on season one they made her look like she was never nothing she had no power on the 3rd season or the Russian guy they made those characters looked so powerful that on the last season looked like they didn't have no story on them both so they put them to be the employees now instead of the bosses. I feel like also Sofia was so trained and all and on this 3rd season was just weak. They need to either stop making a next season or at last make her look like she is the Queen instead of making her look so powerless. They should just stop making La Reyna del sur as well as el señor de Los cielos.
