But Rebe’s storylines remained heterosexual until Season Four dropped on Netflix in June to say HAPPY PRIDE!Īs in prior seasons, Élite delivers a new scandalous mystery to rewind and build towards, this one involving one of three new students whose arrival, as they say, is destined to “shake things up” at Las Encinas. In Season Three, we got some hope on the horizon: outspoken motorcycle and silk-boxing-robe enthusiast Rebeka revealed to gay sad boi Ander that “sometimes girls turn me on, too” including, unfortunately for her own sense of inner peace and justice, the elegantly eyelashed Carla. Prior to Season Three, the show’s sapphic content was limited to Polo’s corrupt power lesbian Moms and a quick kiss in a Season One game of Spin the Bottle.
Elite gay sex scene season 4 full#
However, the ever-so-simple arrangement of two girls and one bed (or one club bathroom or one expensive sofa or one swimming pool) somehow consistently eluded this otherwise queer-inclusive television program that I suspect has featured more threesomes involving 2+ boys than anything else on television outside of the “Cast Full of Gay” cannon. The first three seasons of Élite delivered a cornucopia of sexual trysts and alternative relationships within its ensemble of oft-homicidal teens: marchioness Carla fucking Christian (the new cocky kid from the wrong side of the tracks) while her semi-sociopathic boyfriend Polo masturbates in the corner a love triangle between brothers Samu and Nanu and their mutual object of affection Marina, the free-spirited daughter of the ruthless developer who destroyed Samu’s school a love triangle between rich kid bully Guzman, his sassy oligarch fuck-buddy Lu and reserved Muslim student Nadia (who Lu goaded Guzman into pursuing as part of a bet that he could take her virginity) a secret gay relationship between Nadia’s brooding brother Omar and impeccably-jawed tennis star and principal’s son Ander a secret sexual relationship between aforementioned Lu and her ACTUAL HALF-BROTHER Valerio that involves an ATTEMPTED TOEING at the DINNER TABLE furtive bar bathroom sex between Omar and Nadia’s new boyfriend Malick and last but not least - a three-way relationship between former grifter Caye and alleged murderer Polo and unleashed troublemaker Valerio because nobody else wants to be friends with them. This post contains spoilers for the first three seasons of Elite and light spoilers for Season 4.
Marina's HIV status was also portrayed with delicacy back in the first season, working hard to break down unfounded prejudices and educate viewers on what it means to be undetectable.
These dynamics lend themselves to the inherent melodrama of Spanish telenovelas, yet the way Élite handles this plotline is far more respectful, opening conversations about throuples and the stigmas often attached to them.
This extends also to the polyamorous relationship shared between Christian, Carla and Polo in season one, along with some three-way "strip-studying" between Valerio, Cayetana and Polo again in the latest episodes. That IDGAF attitude channels the casual yet still brave way that Élite incorporates queer themes into the building blocks of the show, reflecting the kind of real-world diversity still seen all too rarely on screen. Fortunately, Netflix was quick to respond with multiple rainbow emojis and the reply: "Sorry couldn't read your comment while surrounded by all these beautiful rainbows." A post shared by Netflix US of Omander fans celebrated their favourite ship underneath, although a few homophobic comments threatened to undermine the picture's impact.
