The final installment lacked the intensity, character development, and engaging storytelling that had madeEliteso popular.

Instead,season 8 offered repetitive character arcs, a weak central plot, and a lackluster finale.

Instead, it felt more like an attempt to fill gaps rather than a purposeful narrative choice.

The story follows three working-class teenagers — Samuel, Nadia, and Christian — who transfer there after their school is burned down.
