Elite Short Stories: Omar Ander Alexis

Just finished watching it and I think that The first short story was hilarious and the second one was not that good but this one was actually good.

As in German (Anders) ... and so no pun intended. But even more important then if you know German is that you have seen the first 3 seasons of Elite! It is really of great importance - because of character moments and where they are heading of course.

So I assume you have watched the show at least up to this point - this side story is not important for the show, but adds some extra flavor ... and some gravitas. The character of Ander is quite complicated ... he has done quite a few things that were wrong to say the least. He chooses himself over others ... and this sets him up for season 4 ... and his journey. Giving him and excuse for some of the behavior you will see there. Really tough to watch - just the theme and the fact it touches upon a sensitive subject matter ... but it does so with grace (mostly) ...

Wow. I'm not one to cry over a series but this story hit different. By the end there was a mixed feeling of sadness, joy, heartbreak, relief and many more that I can't even put into words. And meanwhile, it still managed to be funny without trying too hard. Beautiful story, even better execution.

And don't even get me started on the character development. Perfect.

When I hear about the idea of this short stories I think that was cool to view how this boys spend the summer hiatus before their come back to "Las Encinas", afterall usually the summer vacations are full of good memories but this stories are so heavy, so much pain, so much suffer. Those cancer stories are heartbreaking but usually a teenage soup opera was a little bit less intense, come on! It looks like I was seeing an episode of Dinastia or Grey's Anatomy (with characters around 30 years old) instead a group of boys and girls around 17 years old spending their summer vacations. It's me?? Or really the young ones live their lifes this way now??

I already loved this series but these shorts they added were sick a nice touch. I love ander's story! This isn't just a high school drama show they are showing real life issues like cancer, life and death. Amazing series and the actors just blow me away.
