I love this series. If you forget about legally blonde and that it actually doesn’t make sense as a prequel and just enjoy it for what it is then you’ll love it ❤ like everything doesn’t need to be so serious all the time can’t be just enjoy some things

Reese Witherspoon definitely did a PERFECT job at choosing Lexi Minetree as young Elle woods. They both look similar and they both just have the Elle Woods vibe! I love it! Perfect. 💖

Lexi Minetree is genuinely incredible as young Elle Woods. The way she moves, talks, smiles, and reacts is so uncannily similar to Reese Witherspoon that it sometimes feels like Reese somehow morphed into her body. You can tell Minetree did her homework and put so much love into the performance, while gradually making Elle her own as the series progresses. It may not be the career-defining lightning-in-a-bottle moment Legally Blonde was for Reese, but for Minetree's first major role, this is one incredible of an introduction and I can't wait to see what she does next. This is a rising star in the making ❤

Lexi Minetree looks like a Barbie doll come to life, which is probably why she fits the world of Legally Blonde and Elle Woods so effortlessly. Had she been a known name back then, I would've loved to see her in the Greta Gerwig's Barbie

Lexi is such a great actress– The resemblance to Reese Witherspoon was so spot on, and such a binge worthy show! I enjoyed watching it so much esp. with it being in Seattle

That new Elle is so dull. Not sure whose idea it was to make this movie, especially with a forgettable D-list actress.
Couldn't they find someone better?

Lexi absolutely nailed Elle Woods. You can tell she didn't just watch Legally Blonde once or twice. It feels like she studied Elle's mannerisms, voice, walk, facial expressions, and energy for years before getting the role. She isn't just copying Reese Witherspoon, she's capturing the heart of the character. That's what makes her performance feel so authentic. She genuinely feels like a younger Elle Woods.
