Elite – Season 4: An empty and unnecessary season!

Elite – Season 4:

An empty and unnecessary season!

Well-crafted plot, well-told stories, well-made locations... everything in the ‘Elite’ series has to work, and until the third season we have great results. However, we do not know what happened to the authors that season four is a bore. Everything that was built during the three seasons is destroyed in the fourth. As Portal Omelet wrote, and very well, ‘Elite produces its most boring and empty season. Season 4 of the series relies exclusively on sex and self-destruction sequences’. 

 

Season four begins with the school's change of direction. Ander's mother is no longer the principal and Benjamin enters, who arrives at the school imposing various rules that the group of students dislikes. Along with him, his children arrive: Ari (Carla Díaz), Mencía (Martina Cariddi) and Patrick (Manu Ríos).

 

Stories have no context; the mystery has no reason to exist; everything is an emptiness.

 

They placed a prince (Phillipe - Pol Granch) as a student of the institution. What a meaningless character! He will have a relationship with Cayatana (Georgina Amoróz), who, this season, is a cleaner at the school, in her mother's place. In fact, she is the only cleaner at the school and therefore cleans both women's and men's areas, which would be impossible to do. Because of the prince, safety equipment is placed in the school, like area search, cameras, electronic door.

 

Ari's role is to stand between Guzmán (Miguel Bernadeau) and Nadia (Mina El Hammani), as well as being in a love triangle between Guzmán and Samuel (Itzan Escamilla).

 

Mencía's character unfolds with Rebeka (Claudia Salas), who loses all her independence, all her authenticity.

 

Patrick's character is placed between Ander (Arón Piper) and Omar (Omar Ayuso), who, despite a whole story created in the previous three seasons, nothing is taken into account. Ander decides that dating Omar is no longer important and that he wants to live his life without being attached to anyone.

 

About the old characters (Guzmán, Samuel, Ander, Omar, Rebeca and Cayetana), I say again: everything that was built gradually in the three seasons is destroyed in the fourth. The maturation that these characters have achieved over the three seasons is put aside in season four and everything becomes meaningless.

 

Season four boils down to empty friendships based on party and sex, which, incidentally, is a theme the authors made a point of reinforcing this season. Everything is sex! They thought they were going to dare, seal up on these poor relationships, but what happened was the opposite: the excess became exhausting. In addition to this, another topic they focused on was homosexuality.

 

Note 01: another season in which there are no black artists. Until today, I did not understand this logic of this series. I am not here to seal up on this matter. I just think it is weird that they just pick white characters. The most they did was two black characters in season three, but with mediocre stories.

 

Note 02: How can crimes have been committed without resolutions? Another highly questionable point of the series. A group of teenagers who come together to defend themselves and circumvent the system.

 

Let's hope that, if there's Season 5, the producers, writers, creators will review these flaws from Season 4 and reshape the plot.
