By K.A. Taylor TV Media M afias, syndicates and drug cartels: they all seem to result in a guaranteed audi- ence when put on film, with viewers allured by their depic- tions in both small- and big- screen crime dramas. Something about organized crime remains ever compelling, but often these stories feature a primarily male cast, with women treated more as accessories to the leads than as solid characters possessing individual agencies. Perhaps this explains the success of the fe- male-led crime drama "Queen of the South," which is now in its third season, with a new epi- sode airing Thursday, July 5, on USA. "Queen of the South" thrusts viewers into a world we've seen before, but with a unique angle: a growing drug empire, but one that's led by a fierce female queenpin. Falling in love with a dashing drug dealer, Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga, "Elysi- um," 2013) finds herself caught up within the inner workings of a drug cartel. After he is mur- dered, Teresa must abandon her life in Mexico in order to be safe and secure. She winds up in Dal- las, Texas, but it isn't long before the burdens of her lover's past come to haunt her and she finds herself drawn into the Vargas Cartel. The Vargas Cartel's American chapter is also unusual for a crime drama. Long before Teresa begins to ascend the ranks of the drug lord world, she sees fe- male leadership already estab- lished within. Veronica Falcón ("The Heirs," 2015) plays the stone-cold Camila Vargas, the wife of Don Epifanio Vargas (Joaquim de Almeida, "Our Brand Is Crisis," 2015) and the American face of their narcotics empire. She offers Teresa securi- ty at a price: she must take the place of her fallen lover and be- come a drug-runner. What Cami- la doesn't count on, however, is the ingenuity and cleverness of Teresa, who has little left to lose and so much to gain from learn- ing the trade and forging her own path. Last season we witnessed the growth and grooming of Teresa by Camila, who sees the young- er woman's potential and ea- gerness to dive deeper into the trade. What Camila hadn't pre- pared for, however, was that Te- resa had her own plans. A sea- son initially fueld by an external drug war between Vargas and Feature this week
