Though the series does have its share of light-hearted moments, Elite mainly centres around the trials and tribulations of its protagonists, exploring "hot-button", progressive issues like homosexuality, classism, parental neglect, drug use and other illicit activities, including crime and murder.
The debut season, comprising eight episodes, premiered on Netflix on 5 October 2018, earning positive reviews from critics and viewers who described the series as a "guilty pleasure". The writing, acting, and portrayal of mature themes were particularly praised. Over the next six years, seven more eight-episode seasons have premiered on Netflix. The eighth and final season was released on 26th July 2024.[1]
