"Isabela will make the biggest decision of her life": 'Queen of the South' star Idalia Valles dishes on season 3
There are possibly a dozen crime thrillers on television at the moment, many dabbling in the drug cartel life, following the frantic and ever-tumultuous rise and fall of the drug lords. However, what separates USA Network's 'Queen of the South' from the barrage of these high-octane dramas, is the show's unique voice, putting women at the top of the game.
In fact, had it not been for the meticulous execution of characters like Teresa Mendosa (series lead starring Alice Braga) and her polar opposite nemesis, Camila (Veronica Falcón), this English adaptation of the hit 'La Reina del Sur' telenovela might not have struck such a chord with fans and critics. A partial credit for which must also be conferred upon Natalie Chaidez, who undoubtedly has introduced a million moral dilemmas ever since taking over the showrunner duties for the third season. Due to this, we get to see one of the more interesting complexities being the evolution of young Isabela, played by rising talent Idalia Valles.
