00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.853
Does Selena: The Series offer a family-friendly 
version of the singer's short life?

00:00:07.525 --> 00:00:13.529
"When I think about being on stage, with Leo on the bass and Susan on the drums, nothing else matters."

00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:15.757
For the most part, yes, it does.

00:00:16.734 --> 00:00:19.645
Based on the true story of the Queen of Tejano music,

00:00:19.645 --> 00:00:24.960
this drama explores Selena's 
childhood, her rise to fame, and her tragic death.

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.920
While there's no avoiding the fact that Selena 
was murdered, the show doesn't focus on the crime.

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.889
Expect some images related to 
the killing, but nothing graphic.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.936
Language-wise, things are pretty wholesome,  

00:00:36.936 --> 00:00:40.736
and sexy stuff is limited to 
romance, kissing, and flirting.

00:00:40.736 --> 00:00:44.320
As for positives, Selena is 
shown to be kindhearted, loyal,  

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.480
and always working to please her fans.

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:51.776
Plus, the story includes messages about 
cooperation, courage, and the value of family.

00:00:51.776 --> 00:00:56.376
"If you stand around and wait for what you want, you're gonna be waiting your whole life."

00:00:56.376 --> 00:00:58.352
"You have to go and get it."

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:03.280
Common Sense says Selena: The 
Series is OK for kids 10 and up.
