Elite 8 is now available on Netflix but, yes there are some big buts, this eighth season has many cons that we will try to analyze.
There are series that leave a mark, unforgettable and technically perfect series, trashy series that still glue you to the screen, and then series that continue for business.
Élite, like La Casa de Papel (we apologize), belongs to the latter category, even if its success on Netflix is undeniable.
Let's get to the point and explain why, in our opinion, Elite has hit rock bottom in recent seasons.
Elite 8 Review: Redundant Themes and Random Characters
The initial success of Elite is undeniable. A new “Young Adult” series, which tackled delicate and important issues, helped by names like Miguel Herran and Jaime Lorente Lopez who definitely raised the bar and a crime part like “How to Get Away with Murder” decidedly well written.
The first season was therefore a full 8, there is no doubt about it. The problems began to arrive when the main actors, such as Aron Piper Ester Exposito, Danna Paola, but also Manu Rios, even though he reached the fourth season, left the series. There is a moment in which you have to understand when the series no longer makes sense to continue. The moment in which you have to say: “Well, now let's end it here and give a conclusion”.
This did not happen, in fact, until the very end, and right up until the very end, we witnessed a cauldron of nonsense and hackneyed plots.
Elite Season 8: New Characters, Same Problems
As if that were not enough, in the last season we see the arrival of Héctor Krawietz (Nuno Gallego) and Emilia (Ane Rot), two brothers, two new psychopaths, obsessive who swoop in Las Encinas to present the “Alumni”, the association of former students that can only be accessed if chosen by a member. Thus begins this new season full of prostitution circles, drugs everywhere and little Rock & Roll. When you say that something is beautiful but does not dance, Elite 8 is the perfect description. To make a long story short, in our opinion, what they should have focused on is the development and conclusion of the characters' storylines, at least those that were worth it, because, for example, Sara (Carmen Arrufat) could have also left the scene without anyone wondering what happened to her. Isadora and Iván, however, were treated like dirt. A relegated to the role of the victim who only gains strength in the finale, but who deserved much more. The potential was sky-high, tackling a topic like gender violence without then honoring the theme was aberrant. As well as relegating Iván to the simple clingy and weak ex-boyfriend. No reference to the old characters, to the unfinished plots. We did not ask for much, just a reference to conclude the cycle. On all this they should have concentrated, leaving the crime part, only for this last season, in the background. At least they had the decency to reveal the murderer in the penultimate episode, to dedicate the last one, perhaps, to a worthy conclusion, which did not arrive until the last 25 seconds.
