Elle | Legally Blonde prequel is good! What? Like it's hard?

Elle Woods is back! And this time, we’re heading to high school....in Seattle?? Jillian breaks down Season 1 of Prime Video’s Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle, following a 16-year-old Elle as an unexpected family move sends her from Los Angeles to Seattle, where she faces new friendships, family drama, and plenty of people who underestimate her.

Jillian shares why she was initially skeptical of the series, how Lexi Minetree captures the spirit of Reese Witherspoon’s iconic character, and why the show’s focus on Elle finding her confidence and staying unapologetically herself makes this prequel work. Plus, she counts down the Top 5 “What, Like It’s Hard?” moments including surviving the world’s most humiliating “pool party” to exposing corruption at her school and making a life-changing decision in the finale. And, of course, we need to discuss that winter informal kiss, the love triangle cliffhanger, and everything Season 2 needs to answer.
