Before Elle Woods was a fish-out-of-water at Harvard, we meet her in 1995 in the tumultuous waters of high school where she encounters tricky friendships, forbidden romance, and questionable fashion choices. In this unexpected chapter of her adolescence, we learn about the experiences that shaped Elle into the iconic young woman we've come to know and love.







It's a mixed bag, mostly positive because of the show's charm and fun 90s style, but the writing is the problem. People like Lexi Minetree's Elle, and the high school antics can be funny and sweet, but the story itself feels unoriginal and gets slammed for being a predictable, watered-down version of the character's origin. The real love goes to the small details like the fashion and Elle's dog Bruiser, while the core plot and some supporting characters like Dustin or Kimberly often fall flat.
