Our Take (by Bilal Zouheir)

Three kids from a poor neighborhood win scholarships to the best high-school in Spain and later find themselves at the center of a murder. There is a lot that comes to the surface from the working-class kids clashing with the wealthy. Themes of money, power, religion, and even sexuality make this show so compelling that I never felt like I needed a murder to keep watching.

Notable Critics

"It's twisty and sexy, teeming with clandestine crimes and clandestine rendezvous, but the show is also genuinely interested in the psyche of the ambitious teen-ager."

— Doreen St. Felix

"Elite is not pushing new boundaries in television... In spite of that - or more likely because of it! - its commitment to breakneck melodrama is undeniably enjoyable."

— Kathryn VanArendonk

Synopsis

When three working class kids enroll in the most exclusive school in Spain, the clash between the wealthy and the poor students leads to tragedy.
