Doreen St. Felix The New Yorker 05/09/2020
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Manuel Betancourt Los Angeles Times 03/16/2020
"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. Go to Full Review

ANDRES V @RT44226169 Apr 21 The series Elite Season 1 is a drama and thriller. It was created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona. The story takes place in a rich private school in Spain. The story follows three poor students who enter a rich school, Las Encinas. They face conflicts with other students. At the same time, there is a mystery about a crime, and secrets start to appear. In my opinion, Elite is very entertaining. The acting is good, especially because the characters show strong emotions. The music also helps create tension in important scenes. One strength of the series is the story, because it mixes drama with mystery in a good way. However, one weakness is that sometimes the situations are a little unrealistic or exaggerated. I recommend it, especially if you like drama and mystery. It is exciting and makes you want to continue watching the next episodes. See more Nalaya C @Nalaya Mar 22 The first couple of series are incredible. I love Spanish series. They have a certain intricacy in relational dynamics you don't find in American TV. Anyhow... great entertainment, up until the 3rd or 4th series where it all just becomes a bit too Woke. It's a shame and so unnecessary to turn something great into a political statement. The loss of quality definitely wasn't worth it. See more ne u @RT22430347 03/28/2025 The first season bad actually kinda good.
