The arrival of a distinguished patient highlights the complicated situation of the public health system, lighting the fuse for what will become an unprecedented and drastic strike.”
‘Elite’ Is One of Netflix’s Most Popular Non-English Titles
The upcomingBreathlesswill see the reuniting of creator Montero and actor Ríos, with both working together previously on the smash-hit Spanish show,Elite. A teen series withone eye on angst-fueled drama and another on biting social commentary, the show has proven over seven seasons to be one of themost popular non-English titles Netflix has to offer. This peaked with a rollercoaster Season 3, which has thus far been the most watched on all seven on Netflix.Eliteshows no signs of slowing down either, with the upcoming eighth season set to premiere on July 26 following thecliffhanger ending of Season 7. Sadly, this will be the show’s last, although it has been promised that the series will end on a high note.

The trailer certainly backs this up, with the infectious oozing of tension that permeates through the screen suggesting this is one series viewers won’t want to miss.
