Don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a show. I was really looking
forward to this season because I think there was so much potential for them to introduce a new storyline, but as the season went on i started realizing that I really didn't enjoy the episodes. I didn't care about any of the new characters, didn't care about any storyline and I hated what they were doing to some of the established characters and relationships. I despised Ari going crazy about her. She was supposed to be a replacement for Lu and Carla,
but the actress just wasn't able to give the same performance as Danna or Ester
did. I didn't really care for her Patrick and Mencia either tbh. Especially Patrick,
who was literally going after a guy in a relationship. So icky.
Guzman was one of my favourites during the first three seasons, but they completely butchered his character and his relationship with Nadia. He was unnecessarily rude to Samuel about Arl, even when Samuel did nothing wrong. Andro then later on claim that Samuel was one of this best friends'? That's not how ou treat friends! Also, the Guzman from 81-3 would never give up on his relat with Nadia that easily. He fought for so many seasons to be with her and were other th ed her immediately from br r as soon as a new girl caught his seye I know there and Nadia acted a bit weird as well, but still. He went with Nadia to asking Ari out! Also if the writers knew Guzman was leaving her S4, why not give him a non-romantic storyline so he can get together with Nadia in NYC at the end of the season? It wouldn't have been that hard.
Same with Ander. His and Omar's relationship clearly become a bit toxic in season 3 but it seemed like they were in a good place at the end of that season. And I would have been fine if they had eventually realized in a more healthy way that they were not meant to be and broke up. But to then have Ander dump Omar so he can sleep around? Such a weird choice. And then they got back together at the end but gave each other permission to sleep around? I mean, that's not a bad thing, but it clearly led to a lot of unnecessary drama with them It in the past so it doesn't seem like they will last either.
The only storyline I was a bit interested in was Cayetana and Phillipe, but then
he ended up being a rapist. I mean, I guess that's a realistic storyline, but it seemed to come out of nowhere. As did the doubts Caye suddenly had about him. There were some hints, but they weren't clear enough IMO. Rebe and Mencia were also cute, and I was glad to finally see a more central lesbian couple, but that relationship was almost fully about Mencia. Poor Rebe was once again a supporting character in her own storyline. The character deserves a lot better. So yeah. I'm kinda sad I didn't like the season, because I really, REALLY wanted to,
Does it bother anyone else how Lu is just forgotten?
Like she was such a big part of the show and she brought the drama and the cattines while still managing to be a complex chracther,so to have in season 4 not even mention her just bothers mejts almost like her impact on the show is minimazed and like she was not important to the show,its not a big deal its just something that kinds bothered me
Elite is one of my favourite teen dramas and I think S1-3 were almost perfect, even though S3 obviously had a lot of flaws. But this season? Really didn't like it. There were very few things I did like and that just makes me sad. I will still check out season 5 probably, even without Guzman and Ander, but I already know that for future rewatches I'll just pretend the show ended at S3.
