Èlite #1 {NETFLIX} - Riverdale meets... Spain?

Did anyone watch this? I binged the whole first season on Netflix and its SO GOOD. Its like a teen drama yet with a murder mystery. I think its better than Riverdale actually.

My favorite characters in season 1 were Nano, Polo, Guzman, Nadia and Carla. I just found all of them to be super entertaining and fun. I didnt like Samuel, Marina or Lu all that much but I was okay with some of the storylines going on. Ander and Omar were just sort of there for me which is a bummer because I usually LOVE m/m pairings but I was sort of bored with those two.

My favorite pairings were:
polo/christian before it went to crap lol.
nadia/guzman. He started off as a jerk but I like how he fell for her as it went on.
nano/marina. Marina REALLY bothered me for most of the series but I though those two were hot together.

I have a lot of thoughts on the show but will put in spoilers because Its a murder mystery and I don't want to spoil it.

I watched it too. It was pretty addictive, but I found myself hating pretty much everyone except Nadia. But, that's prob because there are so few portrayals of young muslim teens on western tv.

Spanish shows are susually really good.

I told my friend it was Gossip Girl on steroids.

I watched it yesterday and agree that there weren't a lot of likeable characters on the show, I only really liked Nadia.

I like Nadia, Nano, Polo and Carla. Guzman got better towards the end. Lu has potential. Ander is cute but kind of boring. Christian is just kinda there for me right now.

I didnt/dont like Marina, Samuel or Omar. Marina was just annoying and the other two are dull as dirt imo.

Understandable. I've watched the seasons and am now rewatching it via reactions on youtube.

Are the reactions worth watching? It is interesting that people put their own reactions online.

Yay!


I've finished TrophyMunchers (Joe)'s reactions and they are great because he always gets so invested in characters and relationships and he does praise Elite quite a bit.

I've now started the reactions of "Ricky Reviews".
