La Reina del Sur (2011– )
1/10
Reviewing Season 3
23 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The truth is that the 2nd season changed many things, but it still retained a certain coherence with the story. The third season is a circus that resembles stirring the dust in the vacuum cleaner bag into milk and drinking it. A total catastrophe.

(Spoilers)

To start - Oleg, El Batman, Faustino were imposing characters and through their importance, they contributed to empowering Teresa to become who she was. In season 3 they are less than a shadow of what they used to be. Faustino running up and down without any purpose, The Batman a 3rd wheel crying and announcing a ridiculous revenge that nobody bought for a minute....and Oleg.... oh Oleg. The once boss of bosses hobnobbing with the highest ranks of the mafia, reduced to a "Simp" behind Teresa's skirt - they didn't even decide in the script if he was an alcoholic or not, and at the same time declaring half-hearted revenges that would ultimately never bear fruit.

Hehehehe the scriptwriters on several occasions even backed themselves into a corner e.g. The story of Charlie who directly contributes to the death of Oleg's wife and who later is directly responsible for the death of Rocio.... hmmmm and now, who will take revenge? - (notgonnabeOlegashe'stoobusychasingTeresa'sbuttcheeks)

I really liked the character development and empowerment given to Genoveva. Perfect example of class, elegance, inner strength and tremendous will, standing head and shoulders above the filthy macho, backward types like Epifanio - who wasn't even able to speak to the American senators in English on equal terms, as she did.

Epifanio once more stood out especially due to the excellent interpretation by Humberto Zurita who time and time again brought to life one of the most contemptible men in history. 10/10.

In contrast, Teresa is a confusing character whom in the hours of adversity and difficulty, seemed more inclined to give a tremendous TANTRUM to which the rest of the characters would run to try to contain. At the same time, they tried to project on the character an image of "Indiana Jane (from Wishdotcom)", which completely went out of tune and coherence with the previous story.

Sofia.... The character is not worth the effort of moving my fingers on the keyboard >/

I could stay here much more time but I feel lazy. Finally, season 3 gets a 1/10 from me.

What a real shame and I think this is the end of La Reina del Sur / the Queen of the South.
