mente. La adolescencia es un periodo de personas incompletas y aún limitadas, en permente transformación. Y pareciera que esa limitación de los personajes impregnara a la serie como realización. English abstract The Elite series (S1) is still a choral soap opera with a sophisticated atmosphere, with very marked and somewhat schematic characters and a generally predictable script and something basic in the approach and resolution of its conflicts (a problem in most Spanish fictions current) and that incurs in repetitions, with characters who distance themselves and reacquaint themselves cyclically. Its subplots and secondary characters are more interesting than the main one and the police element is permanently blurred. Adolescence is a period of incomplete and still limited people, in permanent transformation. And it seems that this limitation of the characters permeated the series as a realization. Reseña Español La llegada de tres becarios a un muy caro colegio privado español altera el statu quo e inicialmente genera resistencias entre su alumnado. La serie es un largo flash back a partir de un asesinato. Tenemos conflicto de clases, personajes gays, personajes musulmanes de origen inmigrante, chicas malvadas, chicas rebeldes, chicos pesados, corrupción, mucho desnudo masculino al comienzo para fijar audiencia, bastante sexo, adultos casi ausentes en la trama y de vez en cuando algún buen diálogo o frase bien ubicados. La serie Elite no deja de ser una telenovela coral de ambiente sofisticado, con personajes muy marcados y algo esquemáticos y un guión en general previsible y algo básico en el planteo y resolución de sus conflictos (problema de la mayoría de las ficciones españolas actuales) y que incurre en repeticiones, con personajes que se distancian y se reacercan cíclicamente. Si bien se sigue con interés (y por momentos con cierta involuntaria diversión) además de los apuntados la serie presenta dos problemas: el elemento policial se olvidaría constantemente si no fuera por las recurrentes escenas de los interrogatorios policiales (muy parecidas entre sí) y las tramas secundarias son más interesantes que la principal, acaso por ser más creíbles y frescas y por estar mejor actuadas. De este modo la serie se encamina a una conclusión que sí resulta coherente y, si se quiere, realista. La adolescencia es un periodo de personas incompletas y aún limitadas, en permanente transformación. Y pareciera que esa limitación de los personajes impregnara a la serie como realización en lugar de potenciarla. English Review The arrival of three scholarship holders to a very expensive Spanish private school alters the status quo and initially generates resistance among its students. The series is a long flash back from a murder. We have class conflict, gay characters, Muslim characters of immigrant origin, evil girls, rebellious girls, heavy boys, corruption, a lot of male nudity at the beginning to set the audience, a lot of sex, adults almost absent in the plot and from time to time some good well placed dialogue or phrase. The Elite series continues to be a choral soap opera with a sophisticated atmosphere, with very marked and somewhat schematic characters and a generally predictable script and something basic in the approach and resolution of its conflicts (a problem in most current Spanish fictions) and that incurs in repetitions, with characters distancing and reacquainting themselves cyclically. Although it is followed with interest (and at times with some involuntary amusement) in addition to those mentioned, the series presents two problems: the police element would be constantly forgotten if it were not for the recurring scenes of police interrogations (very similar to each other) and the Subplots are more interesting than the main one, perhaps because they are more credible and fresh and because they are better acted. In this way, the series leads to a conclusion that is coherent and, if you like, realistic. Adolescence is a period of incomplete and still limited people, in permanent transformation. And it seems that this limitation of the characters permeated the series as a realization instead of enhancing it.
