An ‘epically watchable’ crime drama has been dubbed the ‘best series ever’ by its strong fanbase.
Despite having been on Netflix for quite some time, some fans are only just discovering the show that follows a female cartel leader – and if you’re one of those subscribers who hasn’t seen the main character Teresa Mendoza yet… you’re in luck.
While new film and TV shows are added to the streaming platform on a weekly basis, sometimes you need to look through its archives to find gold – in there you’ll find the likes of Stranger Things, need I say more?
So what is the show Netflix users are raving about?
Ladies and gentlemen, Queen of the South – which you may already be familiar with as it’s been out since 2016.
As mentioned earlier, the series follows Teresa Mendoza, who unfortunately falls in love with a member of a successful drug cartel.
But after her boyfriend is murdered, Teresa is forced to flee the country, eventually taking refuge in the US.
And while you may think that is the end of the story, Teresa’s troubles are unfortunately not over.
