The best dark drama of these two years is "Narcos".
As soon as this drama came out in 2015, it was called the most wonderful American drama of the year.
Both seasons have a score of 9.2 or above Douban.
The third season will air on September 1 this year.
There is still a month to go, how to survive?
It doesn't matter, Uncle Fish came to introduce a "female drug lord" -
Queen of the South
Queen of the South
It is also an American drama with "drug trafficking theme".
Unlike Narcos, which is based on a true-life adaptation of Narco, The Queen of the South is based on a pseudo-documentary novel.
The novel's author, Arturo Pérez Revité, is a national writer of Spain.
There is a saying that where there is Spanish, there is Arturo Perez Revit.
And "Queen of the South" is her masterpiece.
The New York Times commented that there is only one book in history that can compete with "Queen of the South", and that is "The Count of Monte Cristo".
A female drug lord who is full of anger and intestines looks a little magical, but it is extremely real.
It is an excellent novel for film adaptations.
However, Spain has made this excellent subject matter into a soap opera.
Fortunately, the Americans adapted it into an American drama and finally showed its original charm.
Produced by Telemundo, the investment reached $10 million.
Although it is incomparable with such a wealthy company as HBO and Netflix, this is the biggest deal in the history of Telemundo TV, which has been founded for 19 years.
The first season was well received and was soon renewed for a second season.
As soon as the second season began, IMDB posted an 8.5 rating.
If you really want to see the hanging female drug lord, you have to start from the second season.
Uncle Fish will first review the story of the first season.
Teresa, a girl born in the slums, is beautiful and quiet.
Since the age of 13, he has helped people launder money to support themselves.
If she hadn't met the drug dealer Groh, she might have lived in a slum for the rest of her life.
It was Gro who took her out of here and into the big villa.
However, such good days did not last long.
Groh is only a middle-class figure in the gang.
As a result of taking on private work while transporting drugs, he was killed by his own godfather.
As Gro's girlfriend, Teresa must also be removed.
Gro anticipated the day, so he left Teresa a notebook.
Just take this notebook to his godfather and get his life back.
Gross's godfather was a big drug lord who wanted to run for governor and legalize his drug trade.
This is consistent with Escobar's thinking in Narcos, except that the latter is more ambitious and wants to run for president of Colombia.
The reason why the godfather can become a generation of drug lords is that his wife Camilla is indispensable.
However, Camilla is not willing to be only a second-in-command, nor does she despise the governor's wife, who has been quiet for many years, and she wants to take power independently and become the number one drug lord in Mexico.
In the course of this confrontation between the drug lords and the couple, Teresa escapes from the hands of the godfather to Camilla's side.
At this time, her growth path also began.
At the end of the first season, Teresa was still just a little minions, which made many viewers unhappy.
The life of the legend of the good female drug lord, how come the heroine has not killed back at the end?
Don't worry, at the beginning of the second season, the heroine's strategy and wisdom will be revealed.
She begins to gain Camilla's trust and helps Camilla regain the territory she once lost.
But at the end of the first season, a bombshell was actually planted: her boyfriend Groh wasn't dead.
It turned out that Gro was undercover arranged by the police in a drug trafficking organization.
Saved by the people of the Drug Enforcement Administration at a critical moment of life and death, they were provided with insider information about the drug dealers.
As a result, Camilla's power was severely damaged.
On the one hand, the boyfriend who came back from the dead became an undercover agent of the Drug Enforcement Agency;
On the one hand, he was appreciated by Camilla, and the drug trafficking business was successful;
What choices will Teresa make?
In other words, she would definitely leave here with Gro and find a place to live in seclusion.
But now, she has become a battle-hardened drug dealer, and it is not easy to walk away.
Those who kill with the poison that has been transported by the body, who pull the trigger, the friends who have sacrificed because of themselves... It's not so easy to forget.
The heroine Teresa is played by Iris Braga.
Originally from Brazil, she is the only beauty in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, City of God.
In the middle of Afei in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, she is particularly radiant and unforgettable.
She is also Anna, a survivor in I Am Legend.
And Will Smith played the acting, has a body, and has a body.
This time, the female drug lord played by her, across life and death, every metamorphosis, is surprising.
As a female drug lord, she not only wants to take drugs;
They also swallow drugs and use their bodies to transport them.
If you can't spit out the drug within a certain period of time, once it melts in the body, your life is gone.
Theresa, who was forced to join the drug trafficking organization, was a pity.
There was no one to help her, she had to learn to be strong on her own.
Bitten by a scorpion during a mission, she is groggy and fantasizes about someone to save her.
A moment before closing her eyes, she saw the Queen of the South.
Hear her say, the only thing that can save you is yourself.
With a strong breath, Teresa climbed into the car and saved her life.
At every critical moment of her metamorphosis, the supreme Queen of the South would appear before her and support her to continue her journey.
She forced herself to change, began to speculate on people's hearts, carefully observed everything around her, and made herself grow rapidly.
Eventually, he became a legend of the underworld.
At the age of 30, he controls the lifeblood of the global drug lord and is known as the "Queen of the South".
But people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily.
It is almost predictable that the fate of a drug lord is to die.
At the beginning of the play, Teresa's private plane arrives at the villa, followed by a group of bodyguards, but as soon as she arrives home, she is shot to death.
Everything that happened next was Teresa's memories.
This echoes a passage from the original novel:
Maybe this is life, a person breathing and walking, just so that one day you can turn your head and look back.
Seeing himself left behind, then recognizing himself as he had died at each stage of metamorphosis, and being indifferent to the debts he left behind with each step forward.
The Queen of the South is Arturo Pérez Levitte's highest tribute to women, depicting a legendary epic of women.
Compared with American dramas, the original novel is more delicate and grander.
The pseudo-documentary approach also makes people take it for granted that Teresa is a real person.
It's not so much the story of a drug lord as it is a woman's upbringing.
