An ‘epically watchable’ crime drama has earned the title of the ‘best series ever’ from its devoted fanbase.
Even though it’s been on Netflix for quite a while, some fans are only just now discovering the gripping story of a female cartel leader – and if you’re one of the few who hasn’t seen the main character Teresa Mendoza in action, you’re in for a treat.
While new films and shows are added to the streaming platform every week, sometimes it’s worth digging into the archives to find true gems – and that’s where you’ll come across Queen of the South, along with hits like Stranger Things. You know, the kind of show that grabs your attention and doesn’t let go.
So, what’s the show that Netflix users are raving about?
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Queen of the South – which you may already be familiar with since it’s been out since 2016.
This series follows the life of Teresa Mendoza, who finds herself in love with a man involved in a powerful drug cartel.
But after her boyfriend is tragically killed, Teresa is forced to flee, eventually seeking refuge in the United States.
If you think that might be the end of her troubles, think again – Teresa’s challenges are only just beginning.
Although the first season premiered eight years ago, many viewers are just now discovering Queen of the South.
