It’s like a series for teenagers. About an elite school, where murder, drugs and debauchery are like Paris Hilton did not dream.
This one sleeps with this one and this one with this one. Then she's with another one, she's burned-- drama, then the three of them sleep together, then back in circles. Then they change. Money, parties. Disassembly. And someone was killed in the pool in between.
When you look at it many times, the question arises: what is real about school? They're kids, right? Is this really happening on our planet? Is that it all? Bright yes. Inconclusive, too.
Just about all the seasons in general - the first one was still somehow watchable, and it should have been stopped. Everything that can surprise you and keep you watching will be repeated in the next seasons - the murder of a classmate, intrigue - who killed???, split into 2 camps in the classroom, enmity, showdowns and jealousy in a circle, template characters and relationships that roam from season to season, triplet in various variations against the background of endless hangouts and brawls. This is an elite school.
Relationships in this series is generally a separate topic - here just stupidly sleep all in a circle with each other, that even do not have time to understand when and how one of the characters managed to change a partner or even orientation & # 128514; No, I’ve watched a lot of such series, which really subtly and deeply show relationships, even take the same Young Monarchs, which, by the way, came out much later than the Elites. Here is really the drama of relationships and experiences of the characters are shown in such a way that they believe, empathize, passing with them every moment, understanding the motives of each, even the negative character. Immediately you do not have time to penetrate and believe someone, the actors are not convincing and playful, the dialogues are childish and primitive, that literally you can predict the answer to the question.
And there's not a single couple in this series that's just two for the duration of the series, the average couple with the usual love, no matter what gender. I don’t mind looking at the infatuation and debauchery, but there is so much of it, tastes, preferences and “love” of the characters change so quickly that they become impersonal and merge into one. And one thing is not shown, most importantly - sincere, true love. When it's just the two of us.
The result was a real desire not to continue watching after the first season. The second and third are on rewind and viewing only at dinner due to a lack of time and a desire to look for something else. Tired of whistling around the killer-suspects, I wanted it to end and see the result. The fourth began to watch because she decided to write a review, since she spent so much time on this series, which means you need to master everything to be objective, and suddenly something will change there.
I hope my review will be useful to those who have not yet decided to watch or not. If you are looking for a light thrashy reading to stick at the end of the working day, it may come to you.
If you think about it, get high from viewing to goosebumps, so that there is an aftertaste and reflection after watching - this is not the series.
