| La Reina del Sur |
Your honors! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, December 28!
Our Top Pick tonight is La Reina del Sur (Telemundo, 9 p.m.). We broaden our horizons with this telenovela, now in its third season -- second of its revival. The daily Spanish-language show, remade for USA as Queen of the South semi-recently, finds Teresa Mendoza (Kate del Castillo) pulled back into drug trafficking after having several years of peace in Italy. Ratings can occasionally out-perform those of the Big 4.
Elsewhere, Kennedy gives out some Honors, Leopold Fitz is in the Control Room, Tyler Perry's BET-coms end their seasons, Steve Hartman gives a Gift, Hillsong gets Exposed, and DNA has a Mystery.
