Season 1 of Selena on Netflix is a let down. Selena is written and presented like a PR puff piece. Always smiling. Always happy and upbeat. Always saying the right thing. Other than the forbidden relationship with her band's guitarist, which is glossed over, ages presented as mostly flawless. It's a disservice to the person. And the actress doesn't bring the same energy as Jennifer Lopez did in the film.
Hopefully the second season, assuming there is one, picks up on the mountain of criticism this has gotten and fixes things.
