Elite: Trailer for Netflix's thrilling new teen mystery series WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from Elite on Netflix Netflix dropped Elite globally on Friday, October 5 and made all eight episodes available at once for audiences to binge. The series focused on three pupils from impoverished backgrounds who joined Las Encinas, a school attended by the children of the privileged and wealthy only for a murder to take place. Elite saw the mystery of who killed Marina (played by María Pedraza) unfold and the events leading up to her death. What happened at the end of Elite on Netflix? Marina It was revealed that Marina was accidentally murdered by Polo (Álvaro Rico), who hit her over the head with the school trophy. The pair got into an argument over the incriminating watch - a key piece of evidence that would expose the double dealings of a number of rich families including Polo, Carla (Ester Expósito) and Marina’s parents. Polo lost his temper when Marina told him that his girlfriend Carla was simply manipulating him for her own ends. Her words hit too close to the bone for Polo and he attacked her, before panicking and leading her to bleed to death. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER SERIES OF ELITE ON NETFLIX? Elite on Netflix ended on a shocking note Polo Polo ran to the toilets to try to clean the blood off him when he found Carla and Christian (Miguel Herrán) in the throes of passion. After Polo revealed what had happened, Carla and Christian helped to cover up the murder. Carla gave Polo an alibi despite Christian’s protests and calls to help Marina. Christian only agreed to the cover-up after Carla agreed to be his girlfriend and give him the “Disney fairytale” ending he was desperate for. Carla Polo got sidelined by Carla, who dumped him for Christian in a bid to buy his silence. Carla also returned the watch and hid the murder weapon - the trophy. It seems likely that she was the one who threw the blunt object into the lake. She could be the chief antagonist in a potential second season and Christian and Polo could end up taking her down. ELITE ON NETFLIX REVIEW Nano Nano (Jaime Lorente) found Marina dead by the school swimming pool after she had left a message about running away together. He was arrested by the police and charged for Marina’s murder and sent back to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Samuel Samuel (Itzán Escamilla) was left heartbroken not only by Marina’s death but for his brother wrongly being accused of his murder. He vowed to try to find the murder weapon, which would prove Nano’s innocence and get him out of jail. Samuel told Christian - who is supposed to be Nano’s best friend - about his plan to help find the person who really killed Marina. HOW TO WATCH ELITE ON NETFLIX ONLINE Marina's killer was revealed in the Elite season finale Nadia Following a trying time at her new school and her complex relationship with Guzmán (Miguel Bernardeau), it looked like Nadia (Mina El Hammani) had finally found her feet. She told her father that she would continue going to the school and that she no longer wanted any “conditions” as she asserted her independence. Nadia appeared to mature and grow and this transition came into fruition in the finale of Elite. Guzmán Anti-hero Guzmán and Nadia appeared to have a burgeoning relationship, leaving his ex-girlfriend Lu (Danna Paola) jealous and furious. It looked like Guzmán and Nadia could have a future together but this was cut short by Marina’s death which sent him back to Lu. Nano’s false arrest and charge for the murder of Marina is likely to have ignited his hatred of the working-class students all over again. Lu Lu continued with her disdain for the working class students at her school as she admonished Carla for choosing Christian over Polo. Along with Guzmán, she is likely to continue as a villain if there is a season two. WHO IS IN THE CAST OF ELITE ON NETFLIX? Marina's killer was revealed in the Elite season finale<doc-sep>From first glance, Netflix's upcoming show Elite looks like a crossover between Gossip Girl and How to Get Away With Murder. Prep school uniforms and unsolved murders aside Elite is guaranteed to bring the drama — just in time for Halloween.

When a local state school collapses three working-class teenagers are sent to Las Encinas on scholarships, and are quickly incorporated into the whirlwind culture of seemingly endless money, glitz, glamour, and treachery. Many comparisons can be made between Elite and a number of other shows, however the most apparent would be the similarities to Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why. This is mostly due to viewers being thrust into two parallel narratives: One which follows the school’s newcomers’ journey into the world of Spain’s rich and famous - the “past” - and another which sees each of the characters being interviewed by the police after one of the characters has been murdered - the “present”. Marina (played by María Pedraza) acts as the show’s Hannah Baker (13 Reasons Why’s Katherine Langford), as a victim of a brutal murder shrouded in mystery - while Samuel (Itzan Escamilla) could be compared to 13RW’s Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette). The “past” plot shows Marina and Samuel building their relationship, and slowly spiralling into disaster as the rest of the cast attempt to keep them apart. And as Marina proceeds to make enemies throughout the eight episodes of the show, the myriad of reasons the characters would want to kill her quickly becomes apparent - which is then in-turn focussed on more in the “present” timeline. Each episode features a different character being interviewed by a police officer over their potential motives for wanting Marina dead. And although the mystery is extremely well done, the journey to the reveal very swiftly became too packed with a number of character issues. Elite should be applauded for displaying a number of social issues in each of the teenage characters’ lives - but when one character develops a drug problem, a sexually transmitted disease, an unwanted pregnancy, social exclusion, and is thrown into a love-triangle - it all becomes too much far too quickly. What’s more, themes presented first and foremost in the early episodes - such as class division, rich vs. poor, and religious adversity - are quickly glossed over as the all-encompassing murder-mystery takes hold of the show. Elite on Netflix: Does the show live up to the hype? As a result viewers will be left wondering where the racist and misogynistic Guzman’s (Miguel Bernardeau) prejudices disappeared to mere episodes into the plot. Despite this, every one of the 10+ characters has a detailed pathos that rarely leaves their actions feeling forced or unbelievable. But the eight episodes feel packed full of exposition and explanation, leaving the series feeling a little rushed as very few characters really get a chance to breathe and ponder their next decision before their mind drastically changes. Despite this - Elite is at its best during high tension ensemble set-piece moments involving the entire cast. The numerous parties and social events held by the show’s wealthy inhabitants are excellent settings for each of the characters to make scathing comments and brutally reveal harrowing truths. These moments are when the stellar acting from the majority of the cast really shines through - most notably from Marina actor Maria, and Nano actor Jaime Lorente (of Money Heist fame).
