Right now you can watch Elle in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. 2 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Lexi Minetree's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Elle earns its spot. Elle gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. 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. Lexi Minetree and June Diane Raphael lead a cast with the timing to make it work. The series ran for 2 seasons from 2026, building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Elle earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Elle is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. The tonal similarities to Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies are real, though Elle carves out its own identity quickly. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Lexi Minetree sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Elle is currently airing new episodes, created by Laura Kittrell and Caroline Dries — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
