Sure, Netflix’s “Selena: The Series” didn’t get everything right, especially visually, but most of the mix-ups are understandable.
Those mountain ranges in the background as the Quintanilla family drives through Brownsville are beautiful. Unfortunately, anyone who has been to Brownsville knows that definitely wasn’t Brownsville in those shots.

Local character and comedic actor Mark Atkinson scored a supporting role in the recent Netflix show “Selena: The Series” about the late Latina singer’s rise to stardom.
“My part in Selena is not huge, the show is huge,” said Atkinson, a Rhode Island native. “I guess I had the right look of a restaurant manager.”
“Selena: The Series,” which is filmed at Baja Studios in Rosarito, Mexico, is a coming-of-age story about the late Selena Quintanilla’s journey to fame as she became one of music’s biggest Latino crossover artists. The show explores Selena’s path to success, along with her family, before she was murdered in 1995 and became a legendary Mexican icon whose legacy endures.
