Heartbreak High

Amazing show, funny, emotional, great three-dimensional characters that highlight just how diverse the Australian population is. More realistic than Euphoria, think it will definitely appeal to fans of Sex Education (but not as graphic so okay for younger teens ~15). Really captured the experience of growing up in Australia. The casting was amazing, and the diversity in the cast really let the writers explore so many different Aussie experiences, especially loved seeing the Aboriginal representation actually done well. Great Aussie music too (The Divinyls, and strawberry kisses were fun throwbacks), will be devo'd if this isn't renewed ;) want season 2 asap.

It's good but not as good as the original. Although you do see a original cast member in a couple scenes I wish you saw much more of him and other original cast members as that's what I think it's missing.

It needs some of the old heartbreak high with a few more original cast members and the same flare added to the modern spin if it had that it would be perfect. It lacks certain things the original had. All together the show is ok but it really just needs some more of the original series added into it to make it better.

I must say I love the fact we see rivers but we need a whole life more of him.

Review: I was very pleasantly surprised with this series and I can honestly say I was invested. I thought the acting was great, the storyline was well-crafted and the writing was pretty ace too. All around, it was well done! The characters were also well-developed and they were all interesting in their own way. Almost all of them annoyed me in some way or another, but that also made them seem more real, I guess. I definitely have characters and storylines I prefer over others, but generally the whole series intrigued and entertained me! It was fun, emotional and surprising.

Top four characters: 1) Darren Rivers, 2) Harper McLean, 3) Douglas 'Ca$h' Piggott and 4) Quinni Gallagher-Jones.

I started off absolutely hating this reboot of one of my favorite TV shows. I thought it was badly written, over the top woke bs and I was absolutely gonna vote this down and give it a one star review.

I continued watching the episodes and started to realize the damn thing was growing on me...

The writing wasn't great in many areas and I cringed more than a few times with some of the lines that were written.

But honestly, I have to say I got to the end of the last episode and wanted another season.

I am still in love with Peter Rivers as much today as I was back in the 90's...I loved him more than I loved Drazic.

My favorite character without a doubt is Darren.

PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER SEASON.

Finally, autistic actors are being casted to play autistic characters. This series was the first time I've ever seen myself authentically represented on-screen, the first time I've seen myself shown as anything other than a punchline or a cause for pity. I hope this is the start of change for representation of autistic people in media.

As an Australian teenager, a lot of the media I come across is heavily Americanized and not at all relatable, so this was definitely a welcome change. This is an incredibly candid and funny look into what modern adolescence in Australia is really like, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
