After the lackluster first season, it’s fun to see a slightly more complicated version of Selena. The singer is relentless about pursuing a fashion career, pushing forward with her plans to open a boutique even when her husband, sister, and father tell her they think she won’t be able to handle it all. At one point, when she tells Abraham about the boutique, he tries to tell her that singing has always been her dream. Selena quickly counters, “I have many dreams.” Like it or not, Selena is just as ambitious and strong-willed as her father, and in season two, we see that she’s confident enough to prove it.

Desperately craving the love she’s been singing about, Selena continues to see Chris Perez (Jesse Perez) despite her family’s disapproval. She also becomes more vocal about things she dislikes and the things she wants as she further establishes herself as a singer-songwriter, fashion designer, and business owner a huge departure from Part One, which showed her as the submissive and “perfect” daughter who went along with everything her father said. And as Selena comes into her own, so, too, does lead actor Christian Serratos. Though it still feels (and sounds) like she’s doing an impression of Jennifer Lopez as Selena, there are quite a few moments beyond the stage where she is able to shed those similarities and offer her own take on the singer
