Elite

[fucktheg0ds]

FANDOM NAME: Elite (TV)

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: For me, three things: it's sexy, addictive, and Spanish.

THE BASICS: Elite is a Spanish Netflix original series. There are two seasons so far, and a third has been announced for 2020. Each season has eight 50-minute episodes. For my fellow English-speakers, it's in Spanish with English subtitles, or you can watch it dubbed in English (no idea what that version is like though).

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?: Wikipedia describes it as a "teen drama thriller". After their school collapsed, three kids from working class families get sent to an exclusive private school. One of their classmates is murdered, so whodunnit? The story is pieced together by a flashback/flashforward structure, with each of the main characters talking to the investigator.

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: If you like mysteries, you'll like the drama. If you like soap operas, you'll like the drama. This show has fucked up characters, some gorgeous scenery and costumes, cool Muslim characters (picture 1), brainy girls, forbidden love, a sweet and angsty M/M relationship (current OTP, guys), threesomes (picture 2), love triangles if you're into that, a bit of sibling incest if you're into that, distant parents, controlling parents, webs of lies and deceit, double lives, wild parties, etc etc you name it it's got it.





WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: Netflix.

WARNINGS: Homophobia and islamophobia. Death of a teenager. Incest.
