“Selena”
Before she became the queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla was a young girl from Texas with big dreams and an amazing voice. This vibrant music biography covers her life, from poorly paid gigs to the sale of multiplatinum albums and the status of the most successful Latino artist of all time – as well as years of hard work and sacrifice of the Quintanilla family.
The first season of this family series contains nine episodes and follows her incredible rise from childhood to adulthood. The series shows her early years in the family band Selena Y Los Dinos.
What sets this series apart from so many other celebrity stories – as well as Selena’s 1997 big-screen biography – is that each episode puts a lot of focus on Selena’s family which provided her with her first backing band and remained a lasting motivational power in her life.
“The Crown”
Writer-producer Peter Morgan intended to make 60 episodes that would cover the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Claire Foy portrays the Queen during the first two seasons, which cover the period from the late 1940s to the mid-60s. Olivia Colman takes the lead in seasons 3 and 4, which begin in 1964, moving the story through the punk and Margaret Thatcher-Lady Diana eras. A top-notch cast and lavish production are the primary selling points of this series.
The Crown cruelly presents all the infidelities, cruelty and emotional hunger of the bourgeoisie. Expect a gruelling outlook at the emotionally stranded royal families.
