Critics Consensus
Elite is highly digestible, technically strong trash TV for anyone with a guilty pleasure palate.
Doreen St. Felix The New Yorker It's twisty and sexy, teeming with clandestine crimes and clandestine rendezvous, but the show is also genuinely interested in the psyche of the ambitious teen-ager. May 9, 2020 Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture Elite is not pushing new boundaries in television... In spite of that - or more likely because of it! - its commitment to breakneck melodrama is undeniably enjoyable. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Manuel Betancourt Los Angeles Times "Élite"is deliciously trashy and gloriously glossy. The show straddles the line between being an all-out soap opera about unruly sexual desires and a socially conscious, nail-biting thriller about wealth inequality. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Silvina Lamazares Clarín Elite guarantees an interesting story. [Full review in Spanish] May 14, 2019 Full Review David Griffin IGN Movies Unlike most high school dramas, the series tempers its over-the-top plot twists with real human emotion by focusing on the kids and how growing up too fast can have devastating consequences. Elite may be the best high school drama on TV. Rated: 8.8/10 Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Sex, drugs, and murder in racy, compelling Spanish import.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Audience Member No sé porque la gente dice que les parecieron interesantes las tres primeras temporadas. Me aburrió los tres primeros capítulos y lo deje.

Totally addicting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review amallia Elite season 1,2,3 are the best Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review Alan A Elite is a must-watch. Season one is just, next level awesome. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/22 Full Review Audience Member Idiosyncratic notion: A+. Of the relative multitude of ongoing increases to the class, "Elite", a Netflix Spanish import, might be the most awesome of the bundle. The series succeeds by making engaging characters that really carry on like children, not cheeky twenty-somethings. Certainly, the entertainers are most certainly more seasoned than their teen on-screen personas, yet the composition is so damn great that it's barely noticeable. "Elite" focuses on the best secondary school in Spain, "Las Encinas," where rich children go to get seen by the world's top colleges. The story gets fascinating when three understudies from common families—Samuel, Nadia, and Christian—join the youthful rich researchers after their outdated is obliterated by a quake. Gracious, no doubt, and there's likewise a homicide secret that should be addressed. What truly makes "Elite" stand apart from its partners is the serious areas of strength in the turn of events, masterfully dealt with by co-makers Daro Madrona and Carlos Montero. Take Guzman, for example, played by the neat and gifted Miguel Bernardeau. From the beginning, he's your run of the mill, favored secondary school menace, never going to budge on making the three new transfers' day-to-day routines an experience bad dream. However, the authors insightfully furnish Guzman with his own special account that hints at recovery as the season advances. Menaces, as a rule, don't get fresh opportunities, and the secretive outcast is the person who gets the young lady toward the end of the story-not here. Indeed, even the disappointed rookies, similar to Samuel and Christian, have their hazier sides. Nobody is a miscreant or a legend for an extremely long time. Similar to HBO's famous dream series, "Game of Thrones", "Elite" loves to investigate moral uncertainty while outside powers, similar to street pharmacists and controlling guardians, begin to go after the disturbed adolescents. Thus, about that murder secret. Without ruining anything, we should simply say the wrongdoing is a point of convergence for the general story, yet not really an essential one. Several episodes begin and end with a cross examination scene between one of the understudies and the directing criminal investigator, relating the events leading up to the murder. The scenes do have moments of anticipation, but they generally fall short due to the punch presented by the finished lives of the understudies before the wrongdoing occurs. On par with what "Elite" is, it's not completely unique, taking topics from other well-known titles that have preceded it, like "Gossip Girl", "Mean Girls", and "The OC", among others. Guzman's better half, Lu, is the embodiment of the exemplary Queen Bee. The Mexican-conceived entertainer Danna Paola depicts her impeccably as a hot, aggressive young lady whom every last one of her cohorts detests, yet in addition, worships. Her circular segment takes the longest to grow, yet toward the end of the time, you might have an alternate assessment of her personality. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
