Élite - Season 1 (2018)

It all started off pretty strong. Plot, elaboration, characters, acting. Plenty of tension, enough development of characters, I enjoyed it, as well as seasons 2 and 3. After that it started to decline to a questionable level. Hardly a decent plot. The newcomers couldn't match the original characters. Except for a single, yet predictable twist and action, the only thing left to do was who did it with whom, why and repeating itself over and over again. The element of gay/lesbian relationships that was present from the start (which was presented excellently in the first seasons) later became, in my opinion, too prominent a role in which you had to wonder whether practically everyone inside or outside the school turned out to be LGBT. It would have included a powerful plot like in the first seasons. But hey, everyone has their own taste. The above is based on viewing up to and including season 6.

I started this quite recently, especially because Spanish/Spanish-language series, mainly on Netflix, have often managed to fascinate me. Furthermore, the entire series apparently scores very well and yes, there are beautiful women involved in it, such as Ester Expósito, damn what. a beauty, also María Pedraza, Danna Paola and in the course of the series there appears to be even more beautiful women in review, yes I am not insensitive to that

The series is also very well put together, it is anything but a typical teenage/school series of the romantic drama kind, no, rather of a good drama-thriller kind, with the desired tension and experience. And in which the cast, regardless of looks, simply deliver top performances, which makes the total picture completely correct for me. And I still have 6 seasons to go, which is nice.

This first season gets a good 8 to 8.5/10...well a 9/10 is just a bit too much, although I can adjust that in passing when I get further into this series and can compare the seasons.
