What is it about?
Las Encinas is the most competitive and fashionable school in Spain, welcoming elite children. It is at this school that three working-class children are taken when their school is destroyed and the students are then distributed to several institutions.
They thought they were lucky…but maybe they’re not so lucky? The conflict between those who have everything and those who have nothing is explosive and will lead to murder. Who is really behind this crime? Is this one of the new arrivals? Or is there something darker to hide?
A sexy series that focuses on love, murder and twists
It already has 6 seasons – the seventh season will be released very soon – and it’s the longest and most popular youth series on Netflix: it’s called Élite! Hailing from Spain and created by Carlos Montero (Physics or Chemistry) and Dario Madrona, this Iberian series is a cross between Gossip Girl and Murder, combining the lives of young rich students with murders and other deviations.
We follow a group of teenagers, students of the prestigious Las Encinas High School, who are directly or indirectly connected to scandalous criminal cases in different seasons of the series. Between betrayals, deceptions and murders, the multiple twists and turns of the Elite keep us intrigued from episode to episode, thanks to a colorful cast of characters played by an invested cast.
Fans of the Spanish series have noticed: Élite is an opportunity for the 3 actors to come together. Miguel Herrán, Jaime Llorente and Maria Pedraza have already starred together in another Netflix series: La Casa de Papel. The series also introduced new talent such as Esther Exposito, Georgina Amoros, Aaron Piper and Miguel Bernardo.
If the first seasons of Elite were highly appreciated by fans, the following seasons were often criticized for their inconsistency, for their explicit taste in explicit scenes that sometimes turned into soft porn and a festival of characters that constantly manages to feel. New as each departure is made.
Élite has fallen into the category of hate-watching, like Riverdale and Netflix subscribers love to criticize Spanish series when a new season arrives on the platform. However, Élite is one of the most popular fictions on the streaming service, which has already given it six seasons – and renewed it for two more bursts of episodes! – and which is always found in the best views of Netflix.
Additionally, AlloCiné viewers rated it 3.7 out of 5 and admit they are hooked on the series despite its flaws. He is “Excellent in its unimaginable side” According to Joanna Sutello; “We’re addicted too fast” After Sebastian D; “A lot, secrets, if you want, here you have it, betrayal, sensuality!” for Tima. So are you going to tempt the elite too?
All six seasons of Elite are available on Netflix. Season 7 will be available on October 20.
