The Queen of Flow appearing on Netflix is about revenge, and obsession with getting revenge. I was obsessed with Charly in his youth and Charly Flow seventeen years older. I was obsessed with the relationship of Charly and Gema, the good, bad, and indifference in it. I was obsessed with the budding relationship of Xiemey and her son Erik. Younger Juancho and his relationship to his siblings is very touching. I spent the first ten episodes obsessing if Charly Flow and Erik were one and the same. not really satisfied that they were one and the same actor, I spent the next ten episodes obsessing if Charly in his youth and Erik were the same actor, I was satisfied. Kudos to casting. I wish that they could of brought younger Xiemy back into the cast in another role to extend her acting abilities. I liked the writing and the music of this series. What is it that keeps me from giving this 82 episodic series a 9 instead of a 10. Younger Charly/Erik/Mateo, we got a good glimpse of what younger Charly was and as older Charly that personality was in full bloom. I assume the role of Erik was to be everything his biological dad (Charly) wasn't which gave us and the role of Erik nothing. First he wore glasses, then we always saw him in a hoodie taking away his facial features and golden locks. It may have been a way to pay homage to his young mother Xiemy, who was also seen wearing the hood of her sweat jacket over her head, but I really needed Erik to exude sex appeal from the rim of his glasses to the bottom of his sneakers and to have more meaningful lines with a range of emotions, the writers didn't give that to him. The writers failed Gema badly at the end, when Xiemy kept trying to get the police to go after Charly Flow for white collar crimes instead of murder, which she witnessed, not the actual murder but the bruising on Gema's neck and Gema herself said Charly did that to her but Xiemy did not inform the police. Gema's current love interest who was there and broke up the fight between Gema and Charly Flow did not say a word either to the police, sad take on domestic violence.
