If you know the story of Selena, you’re ready to go through that wonderful breakout story of love, hard work, and determination only to end up bawling in a corner with your Kleenex because you know the inevitable? Selena: The Series Part 1 delves into the family dynamics and beginning stages of her life into her teen years. Selena: The Series touches on the different aspects of love, hard work, and trust by exploring each of the characters and their relationship to one another. Viewers are immediately submerged into the world of a budding family band. They learn about music through the memories of their father. This series has its moments of beauty not because Selena (Christian Serratos) is the “star” of the band, but because it focuses on family as a wondrous ensemble. Each character expresses a different facet of ourselves. Abraham Quintanilla’s (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) faith in his family, even to its faults; Marcella Quintanilla’s (Seidy López) love and passion for the ones she loves; A.B’s (Gabriel Charvarria) vigorous work ethic and resourcefulness, Suzette’s (Noemí González) protection and openness; and of course Selena’s ever flowing creativity and bright demeanor. Their personalities serve as a balancing act and draws you into the characters and makes the experience more heartfelt. Exploring the Realm of Family Values
