Netflix’s ‘Elite’ is like ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘Riverdale’ combined. Here’s why you should be watching it. – INSIDER

There are quite a few romantic story lines on the series — with intense sex-scenes to go along with them — and they each explore love in nuanced ways.

The most compelling romance has to be that of Ander (played by Arón Piper) and Omar (Omar Ayuso).

The two find themselves in a passionate love affair that they have to hide — not because they’re ashamed of their sexuality or because their friends won’t approve, but because Omar fears it’ll ruin his relationship with his traditionalist Muslim father.

“Elite,” of course, has situations that are Hollywood go-tos for teen love stories.

One of those is the love triangle between Nadia, Guzmán, and Lu, (Danna Paola) — your typical bad guy (Guzmán) gets dared by his not-so-official girlfriend (Lu) to win over the uptight new girl (Nadia).

There’s also the case of Carla and Polo, played by Álvaro Rico, two rich kids who have been together since middle school and are practically married. When they try to spice things up with one of the new guys and class clown Christian, played by Miguel Herrán, the three become entangled in a polyamorous relationship.
