Writers: Juan Marcos Blanco, Valentina ParragaĬast: Kate del Castillo, Humberto Zurita, Rafael Amaya, Ivan SanchezĪn American telenovela, this one’s a classic tale of revenge and falling for the enemy. So successful was this series that it spawned an English remake called The Queen of South starring Alice Braga and Justina Machado. Teresa suffers several losses (the death of her partners), faces many hazards (narcotics trafficking, kidnapping) and finally, rises like a phoenix from the ashes to emerge as Teresa ‘La Mexicana’. It follows the life of Teresa Mendoza, a young, innocent girl from Mexico and her rise to power in the drug cartels of southern Spain. Starring telenovela queen, Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, La Reina del Sur is based on the eponymous novel by Spanish author Arturo Perez-Reverte. Writers: Monika Revilla, Mara Vargas, Gabriel Nuncio and Manolo CaroĬast: Veronica Castro, Cecilia Suarez, Aislinn Derbez, Dario Yazbek Bernal The series finale will air on Thursday, April 23 on Netflix. What follows is the revelation of an illegitimate daughter and a secret drag cabaret among other twists and turns. You know you’re in for a treat when the show opens with the suicide of a strange woman inside La Casa de Las Flores, the home of the de la Mora family. In a voice-over, she explains that she’s Roberta Navarro (Claudette Maille), the mistress of Ernesto De La Mora (Arturo Rios), patriarch of the highly dysfunctional family. The House of Flowers is pretty short for a standard telenovela, but it ticks all the requisite boxes. Here are five that will keep you rooted to your sofa. These Latin American soap operas have all the ingredients of a potboiler and more twists and turns than a strand of DNA. If you’re a fan of melodrama, then make your guilty pleasure the telenovela.
