Selena: The Series

This week I binged the second season of Netflix’s Selena: The Series, and I have all the feels and none of the words. I have to admit I loved the first season so much I watched it in one day, so I was beyond excited to see the second part.

The part of Selena’s life I was most curious about was the love story between her and Chris. Season 2 of the series delivered in the best way. I think the writers and producers gave us a closer and more realistic look at that part of her life. The series didn’t shy away from even talking about the struggles of getting married at the cusp of stardom. It has inspired me to read Chris Perez’s book, To Selena, With Love, to get his perspective on their relationship.

Of course, the end of the series had me choked up for all that was taken away from all of us but especially her family. The story of Selena’s life is often called a tragedy, and I agree it’s sad, but I shy away from using the word tragic because she is more than what happened to her.

No matter what, I’m glad this story has been retold to a new generation because Selena is such an important figure that everyone should know about. Have you seen the series? Let me know what you thought about it in the comments below.
