Class

A mesmerizing blend of sophistication and raw passion - remake- i personally didn't expected that much quality in series but undoubtedly it's one the greatest series by India , at some point it even crossed the benchmark of Élite , Ashim Ahluwalia - man behind missile, i want more of you, when you watch series you can see what i am trying to say almost all of scene's are depicted out of so much love, a high notch sh+t with desi tadka, even though i watched Élite few year's back but it doesn't made feel like this i knew the storie, end but it had it's " Apana Effect " from storie - to cast : i would have loved original storie but it wasn't that bad, you can't complain about cast, "a young youth fueled with energy & talent " ,my fav Cwaayal aka bali. Piyush, anjali, gurfateh, Ayesha know their craft i hope netflix keep some of this good talent in their pool in term's of dialogue & lust and my overall overview : one thing i liked about it is that it had not overexerted dialogue and slang's to make it more cool, i personally felt that "Delhi Wala feel" and i was really happy with it, i loved all lust scene's and LGBTQ stuff, overall it is a teen drama mixed with emotion that tries to give you a fantasy high school experience, which sometime fails and sometime win's over should i watch : if you are high school kid or 40 year man women or whatever you like to call you should give a trie. If you are into teen drama or kdrama stuff 2. If you have already have watched Élite should i watch it ?

Yes or no , it mostly depends on you for me -i watched Élite like 2-3 year ago i had vivid memorie about show, i still knew there was a girl who dies and all that stuff , i stooped watching show after 4 season's so i don't cared about it that much, for CLASS - name " it's just a bad name look's cheap, i don't why but it look's " , i don't like last episode and i skipped few bite's of each episode , maybe it was boring or i knew what was going to happen, made me urge to skip.

That's a overall review.

The show is actually great. Didn't had much expectations but this is actually fire🔥 . The Indian adaptation is (i think some would find it controversial) a little better than the original Elite. The story, the Characters, they seem to suit India more than Spain. Not that i am hating on the original show elite it's just most of the elite fans even this. This show is actually soo much better than my expectations or i think most of the peoples expectations. I hope this gets a season 2 cause this deserves it. The actors according to me did fantastic job in portraying there Characters and completely blends with them.

What I appreciate about this remake is the introduction of the caste system. It brings to light a menace that still remains prevalent in India. The show also lightly touches upon the sort of prejudice a Kashmiri Muslim has to face here. I've seen it happen myself. So, when a character says, "she doesn't even belong in this country," I remembered someone spewing those exact kind of poison. So, I found it quite relatable.

That said, I wish the makers had taken a greater effort to merge it with the way things are in India, rather than creating a fantastical portrayal in certain things. I don't know of a single institute in India where students can get away with using the sort of lingo that the students do here in front of the teachers. Good or bad, it just doesn't ring true. I would have appreciated a more realistic portrayal of the classroom rather than copying the Spanish culture in an Indian backdrop. It doesn't work that way.

Now, let's get to some of the real problems with this remake. When the initial trailer was released, the first thing I prayed that the writers would have the wisdom to not kill off Marina (Maria Pedraza) in the first season. I loved Anjali Sivaraman's acting in Cobalt Blue and was sure she would do justice here as well. And she did that in Suhani's role. She was absolutely brilliant in the scene where she's apologizing to Dheraj for the things she has done. I felt that Marina's (Suhani's) character had potential for more nuanced exploration if she was kept alive in the first season, if someone else had taken the fall instead of her in that random encounter at the end. And now, I find no reason to at all cae for a second season. Let me tell you why.

Firstly, where Elite excelled is having an excellent cast, especially that of Carla (Ester Exposito). She was another fantastic actress. And following the romantic subplot between. Carla and Samuel was quite interesting. Naina Bhan as Koel Kalra doesn't have the same X-factor for me. (Sorry!) And seeing that the makers are following the plot of the original verbatim, I know that's where we'll be going. (I loved Madhyama Segal as Saba Manzoor and Gurfateh Pirzada as Neeraj, though.) Now, these are, of course, my personal preferences. Others may feel differently about the casting. But let's come to the real problem.

Spanish TV series have a long tradition of actors leaving the show midway for other projects. So is true for Elite. We have seen some of the most loved characters leave the show with some laughably made-up excuses. Now, even if Netflix greenlights this show for later seasons, what will the makers of Class do? Ask their actors to pack their bag and leave, just because their Spanish counterparts did the same? Seeing that the writers have zero originality as far as the plot of the series is concerned, I'm really not feeling quite upbeat about its future.

In gist, Class could have encashed upon so much unitilized potential that Elite had for its later seasons that got buried under some poor storytelling choices in the first season. With some originality, Class could have done it so much better. But it's the same old same old. Even for people who liked the first season, I'm not quite sure if the show will be salvagable second season onward with its current choices. And one of the strongest reasons being, unlike Elite, they don't have a female lead to step into Anjali's shoes.

SHORT REVIEW- Watch the original Spanish series 'ELITE' instead of this show.

This webseries could have been a saviour for Netflix India.

After all, the makers had not much to do, because incase you don't know, this is not an original series, rather an adaptation of the Spanish series 'Elite'

But they have failed. It is nowhere near the parent series. The direction lacks passion and the show appears to be trying too hard to create some buzz.

Apart form the show being underwhelming for most of the time, the makers have failed badly to give justice to the theme of the show. Instead of sticking to the core theme ie. 'class divide', the show makes a very desperate attempt to turn it into a typical 'Upper Caste Vs Lower Caste' battle.

The Upper Caste in this show is represented by people who hate the poor, mock 'HIJAB' and trust h0rny spiritual leaders, alongwith other innumerous flaws.

The creators knew that the show is mostly gonna be watched by the youth and thus, used this opportunity to add political junk to our brains.

In a world where we should be healing our distances, 'CLASS' tries to create a divide amongst the viewers, using its outdated political narratives.

As good as never would I ever or Blood and water but those are more Americanized if I dare say. Was this the greatest? No, but it was decently entertaining for the evening. Now I hope not only foreign shows come up as new releases( because it's all that has been coming up lately tho I've been into period pieces Jeez! 300 characters left! Not great but decent high school murder/ drama mystery. 200! Jeez. Not bad, not bad, not bad. Come on!!!!!!! Kept me entertained for the evening! OMG! 100. This is ridiculous! Decent watch for the evening! I'm not going to write reviews if this 600 character thing remains a thing!
