View Details Critic Reviews for Selena: The Series Season 1 All Critics (21) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (14) "Selena: The Series" ends up feeling like a Cliff's Notes take on Selena y los Dinos, the band, and not the woman at the center of it. Dec 7, 2020 | Rating: C | Full Review… Kristen Lopez indieWire Top Critic In the end, Selena: The Series pulls enough poignancy from Selena's legend ... and the creators counteract the looming tragedy with silly, earnest, and heartfelt storytelling that gets you from one cumbia to the next. Dec 4, 2020 | Full Review… Cristina Escobar RogerEbert.com Top Critic The show's exploration of identity becomes more poignant when imagined in Selena's own words. Dec 4, 2020 | Full Review… Bethonie Butler Washington Post Top Critic Selena: The Series could've been a fitting tribute to a Mexican American trailblazer with still too few successors. But it never gets at what made her such a star. Dec 4, 2020 | Full Review… Inkoo Kang Hollywood Reporter Top Critic So it's really a shame that the new Netflix series about Selena's life is so remarkably uninterested in any of that. Nor is Selena interested in any of the things that might make a series about its subject compelling viewing. Dec 4, 2020 | Full Review… Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic Even with some great tunes, Selena: The Series just stays far too often on the surface of what is truly a fascinating American story -- and that just hits all the wrong notes. Dec 7, 2020 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily The show gives too much time to the nuts and bolts without tapping into the juice: how it all emotionally impacts Selena y Los Dinos. Dec 7, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Janelle Ureta Tell-Tale TV Latine fans, writers, actors, and executives have asked to see ourselves on screen more frequently, yet here the response is a hollow recreation of something that's already been done. Dec 7, 2020 | Full Review… Shannon Melero The Muse/Jezebel If Selena: The Series seemed like it had more to say about Selena other than "she existed" and "wasn't the music great?," then splitting her story into two seasons might be justifiable. Dec 7, 2020 | Full Review… Alexis Nedd Mashable She's a person whose life is worth diving deeper into, beyond the constraints of a two-hour Hollywood picture. But the new series isn't interested in any of this. It's barely interested in Selena herself. Dec 7, 2020 | Full Review… Joshua Rivera The Verge Selena's portions play like a daytime Latino soap opera, and through it all the songs beat everything else... Those songs and their romantic imagery will far outlast this show, even though it has its fleeting charms. Dec 7, 2020 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice There are moments of inspiration in the first episode.
