Slow Burn (Queen of the South TV Series Analysis & Fillers)
18 parts Complete MatureWhy do we love Teresa and James? Because of the people they were and the experiences
they had, but most importantly because they gave us the hottest SLOW BURN in modern
TV.
What is a slow burn? It's a character-driven relationship that takes time to develop, where
the protagonists meet under tenuous circumstances and slowly invade each other's space,
causing each other doubts, pain, turmoil and insecurity. A slow burn follows the characters
as they fall in love gradually, presenting a realistic and genuine romantic experience. It
allows the fans to watch the progression and transformation of their relationship over time.
Since the storyline is slower paced than a love at first sight or a fast hook-up, the fans
become invested and the payoff is much more rewarding!
A slow burn romance either explodes or fizzles out. Any ending feels like a personal
experience to the fans due to the time and effort taken to get the protagonists to the point of
clarity. Teresa and James lived through all the stages of a slow burn with the crime world in
the background, which has made them so addictive as a couple.
