Title: Finally, a complete novela
Product review: La Reina del Sur was one of the most exciting, fast paced and tightly plotted telenovelas ever aired. It has great acting, led of course by Kate del Castillo in the title role. There are no subtitles, and it's in Spanish, so you have to be fairly fluent to understand what's going on. The story is gripping, tracing the unexpected rise, fall and rebirth of a woman who never asked to be, but somehow turned out to be, a very powerful figure in the international drug trade. Even though she's a "criminal", the viewer has a lot of sympathy for her, as she has a strong internal moral code, and cares deeply about her friends. The original series ran 63 episodes, and all 63 are included in full on Volumes 1 and 2 (6 discs each). The picture and sound are clear, and I'm really enjoying every minute, even though I saw it originally on TV.
