I really like S2, and is better than S1,
sorry what stereotypes?? Polo is a psychopath and his sexuality has nothing to do with this, not to mention that his sexuality never been the main point of the show.
and finally a series that doesn't uses gay couples as cliffhanger

Lets summarize: the bi guy got no male interest. Once again the bi guy thinks it's ok to have sex with guys (he had sex with Ander), yet only girls are ok for relationships. Oh yeah, and we can't forget they turned the show's ONLY bi character into a murderer! The show did shitty with its bi representation, literally reinforcing every bisexual stereotype, that they lie and are untrustworthy etc. I expected so much more from Elite. I'm not even sure I want to watch anymore because the bi representation is offensive.

People get offended for everything these days. I believe they chose Polo to be the murderer not because of his sexuality. but because he was one of the less suspicious. And they humanized him a him a bit when, after Cayetana confessed him the truth, and later on she was exposed in front of everyone, he continued to help her. But I understand some people wish somebody else was the murderer. I really enjoyed season 2.

I can see why some people are unhappy that one of the very few bi male regular TV characters is the murderer. The stereotype is portraying bisexuality as a character trait of villains.
That being said, Polo is not the only male involved in same-sex relations on this show. If he were, the bi villain trope would be damning. But in this case, Ander and Omar are also regular characters and a couple who are given the show's most explicit love scene. As techguy noted, they even tried humanizing Polo this season (a tall order when you brutally murder a pregnant girl, no matter how loathsome she was!).
Would I have preferred another character as the bi male? Yes. (Guzman! How hot was he in his white undies? What a shame the cameraman deprived us when those finally came off!)
But I'm not offended that it's Polo and I, too, enjoy the show for what it is: over-the-top melodrama.

Way better than the first season. Cinematography was amazing and the characters and the plots are much more polished. I didn't like the first season, but the second was a crazy improvement. Except Ander (he still sucks), every character is enjoyable to watch. I'm glad they kept Polo for the season 3.

I feel like this show just buried any want for me to see anything from 13 Reasons Why ever again. Such similar storytelling but a million times better execution in this one. Having all the characters talking to the police lying and covering for themselves was much better than Ani narrating the whole story and being inserted into the plot for literally no reason. They even made me like Samuel who I thought was such a dull and boring character in the first season. That's an accomplishment in itself. 8.5/10

I didn't like season 2 at all. The incest storyline was puke inducing. Christian was notably missing. The music wasn't as good as in season 1. Polo didn't get a MALE love interest. They reinforced the bisexual stereotype of bisexual men always choosing women for relationships. Men is only for hookups. It's fucked up. I HATED Nadia this season. I liked her last season, this season she was just highly annoying. When she forced Guzman to stop drinking and drugging etc... I get why she did it but it was just SO annoying, like the way she did it was totally fucked up, mimicking everything Guzman did. Also, having sex with Guzman, really? Yeah, because it's totally normal for Muslims to have sex before marriage! Oh, wait.... So yeah, I hated this season. Not sure I will watch next season.

Do you think none of them have sex before marriage? Come on. The Muslim community is hardly monolithic. Much like with Christians, there are conservatives and also people who are more progressive

Assuming new cast, it is basically a new show. The only potential holdover cast would be the headmistress and the teacher, none of which had been great characters. Certainly not good enough to carry a complete overhaul of the main cast.

Isn't the cast already pretty large already? Unless they are going to write off a few characters again like Christian and Nano
