Its not the South


The filming locations don't say any southern states. It was not shot in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, or Arkansas. These are some of the true southern states. In less this film takes place in one of these states, then it should not have there right to have the title, Queen of the South.

More applicable would be Queen of Crap.

It starts off in Mexico and the first episode ends in Texas. Last I checked Texas is in the South.

If you research you will find that this is based on a novel written by a Spaniard writer and her story is suppose to take place in different countries around the world. I don't want to give up any details but the answer for the title is there, not all revolves around the US. Besides that geographically speaking Dallas, Texas is in the southern United States or Where would you say it is located?

reply

When Americans think of the south they think of the southern US from Texas on east.

reply

Not this American. When I hear "south" I think of the southern hemisphere of Earth.

Not everything is about us!

It didn't occur to me that this was a series that could have "steel magnolia" in the subtitle.

You never heard the phrase "The South will rise again" or Deep South?

reply

Yeah, I've heard those phrases. Lots of places have a southern part, or southern neighbors. It's not all about the US, especially given that this show's plot covers two different countries, one of which is south of the other. Imagine that!

reply

the filming locations say texas, which is pretty much part of the American South. Yes, some parts of Texas (and some parts of Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North and South Carolina) may be more metropolitan and may have not the distinctive "southern" look but Texas is defined to be part of the "deep South".

reply

They probably filmed most of it in CA and in the studios but it's supposed to be SET in Mexico and Texas.

So you make one post in your entire time on IMDb and it's a hate filled dirt stupid bigoted comment about people from the South?!!

You are a disgusting bigot.

Psst, look at a map, there is a whole southern hemisphere!

Because there's only one South. It's based on the novel and telenovela by the same name. It very likely might be a reference to a biblical quote:

The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it (or in Luke: with the men of this generation and condemn them), for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.


I guess you would take issue with The Bible for using the term "Queen of the South", too?

That aside, it does take place at least partially in Texas, which last time I checked was part of the South.
