I would like Elle better if it wasnt a Legally Blonde prequel

Prime Video has released Elle, a Legally Blonde prequel executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and starring Lexi Minetree as Elle Woods. While the series is described as charming, some critics argue that the origin story is redundant. Additionally, suggestions have been made that the production would be more effective and enjoyable if it functioned as a standalone teen drama rather than a prequel tied to the existing Legally Blonde franchise and its established narrative.
