What Happened
Prime Video has released a new prequel series titled 'Elle,' which explores the early life of Elle Woods, the iconic character from the 'Legally Blonde' film franchise. The series features newcomer Lexi Minetree in the lead role, portraying a teenage Elle.
Reviews suggest that while the series is competently produced, it often relies on familiar elements from the original movie. Some critics have expressed surprise at the quality of the show, with one reviewer noting that Minetree's performance might rival that of Reese Witherspoon, who originated the role.
The setting for the series is reportedly grunge-era Seattle, placing a young Elle Woods in a different environment than her later Harvard Law School days. The show aims to provide a fresh perspective on the character's journey before her well-known legal career.
