Selena: The Series (2020-21)

In today's review, I look back at the family and singer behind hits like Como la Flor and Techno Cumbia. As I attempt a #positive review of the televisional biographical drama miniseries Selena: The Series #ChristianSerratos #GabrielChavarria

It is a sobering fact that the music industry is full of stars that were taken before their time, the infamous 27 Club is an overgrowing reminder of the lost potential and devastated audience that is left. One name that springs to mind is Selena, who broke barriers in the Tejano music scene and nationally, riding an incredible high before her shooting in 1995. In 2020, Netflix released a two-part…

Selena: The Series

I binged the show in a day and these are my thoughts. Fair warning, this is long.

The Good: After originally being disappointed to hear that they weren’t going to be using Selena’s vocals, I’m glad that turned out not to be the case. It wouldn’t make any sense otherwise. I really liked that they showcased some of her earlier songs, the ones that aren’t very mainstream and would only really be known to those who have digged into Selena’s discography. Like Sukiyaki, Amame, Besitos and Ven Conmigo.

The wardrobe department. I guess the outfits had to be on point because the hair was not. We’ve seen many recreations of Selena’s iconic outfits, but not really any from her early years and I thought that was cool. I did like that they showcased Selena’s teen years and how she grew up in the industry, as well as how they showed her humorous side.

Hunter Reese Peña. Out of the entire cast, I feel like his casting as Ricky Vela was the best. I did also like the connection of Seidy Lopez playing Marcella and also being the friend with Selena at the mall in the 1997 movie - though I wouldn’t say she was perfectly casted.

The Bad: I feel like most longtime Selena fans unanimously agree that the casting is not the best. The actors are lighter and thinner than their real life counterparts and it’s super disappointing to see. While Christian Serratos is of Mexican heritage, she is very light skinned compared to Selena. I once watched an interview with Suzette where she said Selena resonated with the Mexican-American community because we could see ourselves in her and because she “wasn’t a guerita” or light skinned. And even as someone who is a guerita and lighter than Christian, that’s still a statement that rings true for me, and this casting choice does not reflect that. So I can only imagine the hurt and disappointment felt by our brown and darker skinned brothers and sisters in our community.

This ”Chris” and “Selena” was not believable as a couple imo. I’m really supposed to believe that these two people are secretly in love? Compare Christian Serratos and Jesse Posey portraying the relationship to Jennifer Lopez and Jon Seda’s and try to tell me there isn’t a stark difference. I completely believed the 1997 version of Chris and Selena were very much in love and would move heaven and earth to be with one another. 2020 Chris and Selena? It feels forced and more like an awkward high school relationship.

Okay. I did like that we got some family backstory and got to know Los Dinos a little more. And I understand that it’s a family band, but when “Selena” feels like a secondary character in a show called Selena: The Series, there’s a big problem. There was far too much focus on Abraham and AB. A lot of it could’ve been condensed or cut down and I think we still would’ve gotten the gist of it anyway.

No pizza. Like seriously, there was not one slice of pizza in the whole show. I would have loved to see a scene where Chris and Selena first said “I love you” in a Pizza Hut like he described in his book. However, this Chris and Selena ain’t it AND I’m also bitter that her family can apparently use his name and their love story for a profit but Chris got sued when he tried to do it himself.

The (Really) Ugly: Those wigs. Were. Terrible. The wig for Chris in particular. Literally WHO thought that looked good?? Why not have the actor grow his hair out or just cast someone who already has long hair? Burn it. Toss it in a fire.

Overall, this feels more like Selena: For Mainstream White America. For those who have maybe caught the movie on tv once in a while but that was it, or heard “Como La Flor” once or twice in passing. Casual fans. Then there are those of us who are old enough to remember hearing when she passed, who have watched her performances countless times over the years. The ones that Selena means so much to and who remember and see her as a person and performer and not as a character on a tv screen. Don’t get me wrong, I love spreading her music to a newer generation but it could’ve been done so much better.

Selena: Release Date and Trailer for Netflix Series with The Walking Dead’s Christian Serratos

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Popular-music-focused dramatizations have found new life, thanks to recent cinematic offerings like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, with many more currently on the industry docket. It’s a notion that Netflix might have taken into consideration with a television project it just unveiled, set to chronicle the story of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, the 1990s-era Mexican-American crossover pop sensation whose rise was tragically cut short upon being murdered by her friend and agent.

The Walking Dead‘s Christian Serratos temporarily put aside the zombie apocalypse to star on the Netflix television offering, titled Selena: The Series. The show is being released in “parts” (rather than seasons), with Part 1 arriving with six 1-hour episodes. Serratos – who’s played Rosita Espinoza on the AMC series since 2014 – has major shoes to fill, not just because of the loftiness of portraying the still-beloved singer, but also because of director Gregory Nava’s 1997 Selena film, which elevated star Jennifer Lopez to A-list status.

Selena: The Series Release Date

Selena: The Series is set to hit Netflix on Friday, December 4.

Selena: The Series Trailer

A new teaser for Netflix’s Selena: The Series arrives on the occasion of its release date reveal.

The series came right out of the gate back in November 2019 with its first teaser, which briefly showed off its just-announced star, Christian Serratos, looking ever the uncanny facsimile of the eponymous singer.

Selena: The Series Story

As the official logline for Netflix’s Selena: The Series reads:

“[Selena: The Series is] a coming of age story following Selena Quintanilla as her dreams come true and all the heart-wrenching and life-changing choices she and her family have to make as they navigate success, family, and music.”

Besides being a character study, the series also seems to be showcase in what could have been, since Selena was on the verge of a mainstream crossover when, on March 31, 1995, she was fatally shot by her friend, agent and fan club manager, Yolanda Saldívar, in a hotel room meeting at a Corpus Christi Days Inn. Selena was only 23.

Selena: The Series Cast

Netflix’s Selena: The Series has added seven more cast members, as reported by Deadline.

Set as series regulars are the following:

Julio Macias (On My Block) will play Pete Astudillo, “a charming singer and member of a two-man band known as Los Bad Boys, who is discovered along with Joe Ojeda and ultimately helps write a few of Selena’s most popular songs.”

Jesse Posey (First Love, Stitchers) will play Chris Perez, “the eventual lead guitarist who develops a relationship with Selena but will have to learn that there’s more to winning her heart and being accepted into the family.”

Hunter Reese Peña (Morning Ritual) will play Ricky Vela, “a talented keyboard player who hesitates to join the band at first, becomes one of A.B.’s most important collaborators, earning his trust as they compose hits for Selena.”

Carlos Alfredo, Jr. (Mutt and Chopps) will play Joe Ojeda, “the second keyboard player who joins the band as Selena y Los Dinos begins to grow.”

The following will serve as recurring cast members:

Juan Martinez (Triple Frontier, Edge of the World) as Young A.B, “[who] helps his father, Abraham, assemble the family’s first band and also discovers his own abilities as a musician.”

Daniela Estrada as Young Suzette, “a reluctant musician who accepts her role in her family’s band as their drummer.”

Paul Rodriguez, Jr. (The Curse of La Llorona) as Roger Garcia, “a shy guitarist for Los Dinos in their early years, who struggles to stay in the band as life on the road becomes more demanding.”

…They will join the first batch of officially-announced cast members, who consist of the following:

Christian Serratos (The Walking Dead, Twilight) will play Selena Quintanilla, an incredibly talented and charming young woman from South Texas, who chases her musical aspirations with her family and becomes one of the most successful Latin artists of all time.

Gabriel Chavarria (War for the Planet of the Apes, The Purge) will play A.B. Quintanilla, Selena’s oldest brother and the band’s music producer, who constantly faces the pressure to deliver hits and ultimately forges the band’s trailblazing signature sound.

Ricardo Chavira (Desperate Housewives, Santa Clarita Diet, Scandal) will play Abraham Quintanilla, Selena’s father, a savvy musician whose encouragement of his children to work hard and dream big leads them to achieve global superstardom.

Noemi Gonzalez (The Young and the Restless, East Los High) will play Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister and best friend, who learns to embrace her role as the first female drummer in Tejano music history.

Seidy Lopez (Training Day) will play Marcella Quintanilla, Selena’s mother and the cohesive, nurturing force in the family, who believes in achieving their dreams against all odds.

Madison Taylor Baez will play Young Selena, a happy-go-lucky child who learns what it takes to become an artist from her father.

As Jaime Davila, president and co-founder of Campanario Entertainment, expresses of the cast in a statement:

“Selena is an inspirational figure who’s transcended generations. At Campanario, we’ve always known it was crucial for this series to find actors with the right mix of talent, charisma, and passion to honor Selena’s legacy and the story of her family. Our casting director Carla Hool and her team have found an amazing cast to depict the Quintanilla family, and we’re sure fans everywhere will be captivated yet again by Selena’s incredible life.”

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The series will be produced under the purview of executive producers Jaime Dávila, Rico Martinez, Suzette Quintanilla, Simran A. Singh and Moisés Zamora.
