Commentary: Netflix's 'Élite' is the addictively horny teen drama you need right now
“Élite,” Netflix’s high school-set Spanish drama, never feels derivative. Instead, the series, from Carlos Monte and Darío Madrona, self-consciously deploys genre tropes and familiar archetypes to create one of the most addictive teen dramas around.
While the question of who killed Marina hovers over its first season, the mystery merely heightened the stakes of “Élite’s” many interlocking teen-drama storylines.
Marina is the outlier here, finding the likes of queen bee Lu and spoiled princess Carla insufferable preciselythey so care about appearances, but her own hang-ups and secrets isolate her too. Her chaste relationship with Samuel, as well as her heated sexual tryst with Nano — Samuel’s older brother who’s just been released from prison — is but one of “Élite’s” labyrinthian plots, which are all about who wants to sleep with whom and who need not find out.
