Selena: The Series contains a sense of uncomfortable voyeurism, a feeling of déjà vu-things that have been seen and experienced before, but now there is an air of repeated intrusion.
Selena the Series, Part 1, has a lot of problems especially in the second half. But while it's a standard music bio, those are popular for a reason. Not a must watch, but fun.
The care and compassion that has been injected into the first half of this biographical, two-part TV series is evident from the very start and never lets up during the initial nine episodes.
I wish that they did more, like it felt very safe it kind of felt, like, sitcom-y, the production quality was not there... this is Selena, I wanted to see production quality on the level of like Stranger Things.
[W]hile [Serratos] 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.
