The actress was well chosen, and her appearance and facial expressions are very similar. The first episode caught on, it reminds her of her admission to Harvard, when everything was the same "gray". The vibe of the 00x teen movie is present.

According to the first episode, something is somehow not ice.
And I thought the series would be shorter by 20-30 minutes and once a week, but here it's almost hourly and all at once.
I haven't watched Legally Blonde, so I'm just getting to know the character. So far, the story promises to be emotional and easy. In general, I like all these romcom vibes from the early noughties, so if it's done in a similar style, I think it'll be very cool.

Are they being bought by the whole school in one place? Why do everyone have the same shirts and hoods? It's not pleasant to see how much overkill there is with attempts to portray a gray mass.

@g1586639: In fact, that's how everyone dressed at the time, especially teenagers in Seattle. After all, 1995 was the peak of mainstream grunge in the USA, and Seattle was considered the capital of the whole movement due to the fact that the Sub Pop label was based there. Dressing like this was the height of youth fashion.

It would be great for all of us in our gray lives to see such a bright pink speck as El Woods. 💖
In general, I felt the vibes of the original, and the actress really suited her looks and facial expressions perfectly, she looks easy and pleasant, as long as I like it ~

It's a pity that it happened with Donna, I thought she would be something like a fairy godmother for Elle, but it seems that she should still appear.

Is Elle 's room really a room? ) it looks more like an apartment)) She's so pink and cute ☺️

Mama El is such a sunshine in this gray and rainy Seattle...I like their relationship 🥰

Being new is always difficult, and joining the team right away is even more difficult...Elle, it's all right, we believe in you 🫶

The wardrobe!!! Special bravo to the stylists

In the movie Legally Blonde, there is a scene in which Elle introduces her new Harvard classmates to Bruiser, her beloved chihuahua, whom she saved from euthanasia, but we only learn the details of his rescue in the first episode of the TV series El. Apparently, the Bruiser was "saved" by El's mom from their neighbor, Aaron Spelling, because the Bruiser's natural color no longer matches the Spelling's new furniture. In the movie Legally Blonde, Elle famously mentions that she grew up next to a television pioneer, so this is a reference to two films at once.

@g1667273: In the film, Elle also seems to be very shallow, because she is surrounded by people for whom intelligence is not important. After all, she starts trying at Harvard just to prove to her ex how wrong he is. She does it to be with him. Is this not superficiality? So you can't call her particularly smart, she knows how to get out of situations.

I've got a good start, after all, Elle is still a teenager here, and quite savvy at that. But to be honest, I can't imagine how she can still hold on to her new school with such an attitude, I already wanted to run away from there myself. I understand the formed collectives and "not that kind of girl," but still...

I've been waiting for a trick from my friend all day, and it still seems like she's kind of muddy + for the 90s, parents tiptoe in front of her too much, too modern. Overall, the first episode is nice, I hope Donna comes back.

Starting at a new school made me remember the first shots of Wednesday. Only there, a gloomy Wednesday cut through the bright colorful world of the school, and here, on the contrary, a pink ray breaks through the gray fog.
True, this grayness looks excessive, but this was also the case at the beginning of the film. Just a deliberate move.
I'm surprised by the questions about the fact that the Ale here looks dumber than in the movie. The film is still six years away, I don't think the series will cover the entire period, but we need to show her progress. Elle has wonderful talents and qualities, we know them from the film, but up to this point she had practically no need to show and develop them in any way.

@Nog: I don't understand why everyone sees her as stupid. Quite a teenage teenager. Yes, all (many) were like that, but somehow they grew up in smarter ones.
Well, why isn't Ava Philipps starring, that would be a cool reference
@estrilda: it's a pity they didn't save the classic story that she found a dog on the street, because this act just shows the nature of El that she is kind and sympathetic, we could somehow insert a storyline from the 2nd part of the film, where animal tests are carried
out okay, let's see this version, but there is a feeling that Hollywood I stopped trying

@estrilda: Ava is not an actress. And hello sunshine is owned by Reese. Here, probably. Ava's desire plays out, and maybe the condemnation of "matchmaking"
@Julia583: ava managed to play in TV series a little bit, it seems to me that everyone is already used to nepotism
. I am generally indignant that everyone did not jointly decide to take her on the role, and not to go straight to Amazon)
It is strange that from Aries to BvZ - El and the Giant became Twins here)))
But in general - facial expressions, plastic, wedge shoes with hearts, a shared vibe - everything is in the very heart.
By the way, even the parents more or less matched in appearance from the movie.
To summarize the first five episodes: the series is worth watching.

But I liked it. I've watched original movies more than once. The actress playing the young Elle is very similar to Reese (as seen in the original soundtrack).
I've never seen her stupid. Yes, there is childish naivety, but Elle is also a 16-year-old golden child who knows no problems. She's had everything since she was a child. And then she comes across the fact that her classmate's parents did not pay for lunch and he has nothing to eat.
From the very first episode, we are shown that she cares (the scene with the Giant gifts and a leaflet in support of teachers).

I saw a movie clip. In the original, the Giant and El (as well as Reese) are Aries. It was unexpected, of course. The homages to the first film were very encouraging - the beginning with an envelope and the scene with a box of chocolates

Why are teenagers so angry in American movies? And that's it. A new girl came, we won't let her eat next to us, we'll look at her angrily and sarcastically, mock her. And so it is everywhere.
When I was studying, we always really looked forward to newcomers. I'm a teacher now, and my students are also very nice to new students, helping them integrate.
The main actress perfectly adopted the facial expressions and gestures of the original Elle. Especially when crying.
Mom is generally a bunny
Why is the Giant translated as a Bruiser? Well, damn, everyone knows him as a Giant.
Pink is not a personality? Yes, they're all fucked up personalities, all dressed in gray. Belted individuality is pret

@remember-di: they judge by appearance, but Elle looks like a school bitch (remembering "Mean Girls"). It seems to me that they are just afraid of her and no one wants to know what a sweet pussy she is.
@remember-di: about the "Giant", and you look at the RHS, they just translated it there)
Teenagers are basically evil, not just American ones. There were some at my school, too, and fortunately there weren't many of them, but listen to other people's stories about their school years and you'll be unpleasantly surprised)

What a beautiful sunny girl! And her parents are wonderful. Supportive, loving. It is very pleasant to watch them. I don't remember BWZ very well, I'll definitely review it after the series. It's funny that as a teenager I rebelled against blonde and pink, and now I find myself in pink pillows, in a pink bathrobe, next to a pink bedspread, on the floor - pink slippers, and on my head - blonde, and all completely unconsciously

The first impression is rather negative. Yes, there is a charm, but everything is kind of cardboard, strained, disharmonious. All the characters look costumed and don't fit into their own images. It may be possible to get used to it over time, but in the first episode, the low professionalism of the entire team of the series, including actors, screenwriters, decorators, etc., is very striking.

But what spoils the impression the most is the selection of an actress for the main role. Not only does she look nothing like a teenager, but she also looks noticeably older than Witherspoon was in the movies (although they were both 25 at the time of filming).

In general, it still feels like some kind of handicraft on my knee, but we'll see how it goes from here.

It may seem like it doesn't happen that the whole school turns against one person, but in fact it often happens when you're very different.
Elle Woods is wonderful! Infinitely beloved character, interesting, kind, sweet, empathetic, caring.
The rest of the kids at this school are typical little buggers who are angry just because they have to, pretending to be goofy and special, but what kind of special thing can we talk about when you're listening to the whole school and doing the same thing? That's exactly what it's about.
Their whole "struggle" for rights consists of a complete lack of action and simple whining, and when someone really starts doing something, the rest of them don't like it, because they themselves are not able to change something. And the future belongs to activists like Elle.
I'm sorry that Elle ran into people like that, but it proves once again how strong she is and how much I love people like her.

The most depressing series. Oh, but there were hopes. He's also more like the 00s in style, couldn't we have done the 90s since we're talking about 1995!?And the Weekday vibes)
How perfectly the actress was chosen!!! In some moments, it's just a one-on-one blonde from our beloved Reese... It is clear that she also loves the original film very much, has watched it more than once, and has adopted her gestures and facial expressions.

And the plot is wonderful. So kind, nostalgic. There aren't enough school TV shows with this vibe right now... And for 90210 a separate respect) Beverly remembered...

And I hope Elle will do everything to bring Donna back! Because when she first appeared, I thought that they would become such friends, like in the movie with the manicurist. After all, Cosmo is also the Bible for them. And I immediately imagined how she would be the first to test her seduction trick on her, because surely Donna has someone she's in love with) but we'll see if she guessed it)

Either I have some kind of prejudice, or the new Elle Woods looks dumber than the one played by Reese Witherspoon. 🙈

In general, it would be great to invite the daughter of Riz to the role of Elsa.
It's a very enjoyable, light teen series.
It was a pleasure to plunge into this atmosphere.
I'll be waiting for the second season.

It's too bad even for the background. A cheap, uninteresting thing with bad, uncharismatic actors. For little girls, maybe.
I love the original first movie Legally Blonde, but according to the trailer in advance, there was not a very good prejudice about the series supposedly about the teenage years of Elle Woods. But overall, so far it's not as bad as I thought.
But I have only one question: ELLE'S PARENTS ARE RICH, WHY THE HELL DID THEY SEND THEIR CHILD TO A MUNICIPAL SCHOOL AND NOT TO A PRIVATE ELITE SCHOOL???
Naturally, they will start bullying her right now, because teenagers are evil and hate everyone who is at least something different from them. And it was clear from Elle in the film that she had never encountered bullying in her life before entering Harvard.
I gave up on TV shows about school a long time ago, considering that I was no longer old enough, but then, apparently, nostalgia came.
@Nadezhdat: she's her, especially since the soulful series has finally turned out. And then the latest school series with murders, then with lots of sex at every turn. And here is a pure vibe of good old school romcoms 80-90...
There were no expectations, but the beginning turned out to be quite cheerful and sweet. It really reminds me of the vibe show of the 2000s. The actress is charming, according to the promo photo, the resemblance was not noticeable, but in some places it is even very similar to Riz in dynamics
. P.S. and what a beautiful and cozy room Elle has.
