“Selena: The Series” covers a lot of ground and does it with empathy, authenticity, humor and just the right amount of pride.

All in all, Selena: The Series is pleasantly diverting, but it feels like a missed opportunity.

The series refuses to go beyond the surface and instead shifts the focus back to tracking her career milestones. Though a cultural icon, Selena was, after all, a human being, and it’s this that the series never seems to grasp for more than a few minutes.

Though the series offers a deeper exploration of the lives of Selena’s siblings, it still fails to take a new approach at retelling a retelling; much of the expository trajectory is identical to that of the film [1997's Selena]. What is presented in Part One feels rushed and crammed into nine episodes.

Unfortunately, creator Moisés Zamora squanders this opportunity to reintroduce Selena (played by Christian Serratos) to a new generation, both as a Chicana icon and an ambitious teen still searching for a sense of self. Even for a Netflix show, the narrative bloat is startlingly egregious.

Selena consistently skims the surface, landing occasionally on such shallow revelations as “I don’t always know who I am … until I am,” before skittering away again into shocking scenes like Now Her Hair Is Even Shorter. Selena is barely a character; her sister Suzette (Noemi Gonzalez) and her mother Marcella (Seidy López) are even less so.

Selena: The Series takes lazy writing to another level. ... It would be unfair to blame Serratos for the deficits of Selena: The Series; while her mere competence can’t save the show, even a Lopez-level performer would likely struggle to salvage such stiff dialogue, aimless plotting, flat characters and blah direction.

In Brasil the Icon Selene isn't much pinup here, but when we'd know the Spanish language it's inescapable don't listen her, i liked the tv show, i saw the majority don't much, i think we can see a little part of the her story through of the people lived with her, grow up with her, unfortunately she died, we neve know the her part of the story of the own life, it's common we see the vision of the family about her life and the focus wasn't all her, cause her version we'll never know

For someone who didn't know about Selena's story, it was interesting. The series comically addresses the singer's trajectory, but does not go into much detail and the script is somewhat minimalist.
