I would like to show almost 100%, if it wasn't about drugs, which kill too many people worldwide, anything relating to drugs other than diagnosed medicine, drugs dealers, drug distribution, users whatever, we should put a stop to this in America, look at all the lives that could be changed if it wasn't for drugs Working America do something about this problem and to me any show whatever that glamorous any part of drugs, in any form, should not be also, come on people, it's up to us really

I'm enjoying the show so far, I've come across the telenovela that was inspired by the book, so usa isn't really that original. La reina de sur is a Telemundo in 2011 kate de Castillo was amazing as Teresa mendoza. I want to see how well Alice braga will do. Can't wait to read the book. Both English and Spanish shows are captivating.
