Heels

I was unsure this show would work. I'm a wrestling fan, and I know how hard it is to portray the art form, and those who perform it. But this show continues to surprise me week after week. I loved Amell as Oliver Queen on Arrow, and some of his other work. He is perfect in this role and he carries it well but I expected that. What has surprised me is the talent of the surrounding cast, especially the women. Alison Luff, Mary McCormick, and Kelli Berglund are killing it on a weekly basis. There have been some awesome cameo performances that wrestling fans will appreciate and even former NFL star James Harrison is solid and entertaining. My favorite character is Wild Bill, who is played by the great Chris Bauer. The Wire fans will remember him as Frank Sobotka. I just remember him for always being a top notch talent, whatever the role. These great performances are aided by some solid storylines that will keep you invested in the show and the characters.

My only complaints would be the character of Ace Spade, played by Alexander Ludwig, and the awful opening credits and the song that goes with it. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoy this show. I hope it gets another season.

I hate that Starz canceled this show on a cliffhanger, so if you like a complete storyline don't start heels like I did. I loved the two seasons and I don't know what show to compare it to maybe Kingdom and the movie fighting with my family. I really hope another Network like Netflix or Prime picks this show up and gives it the two or three more seasons it deserves. Alof of people don't have Starz, if it was on Netflix it would be a really popular hit show guaranteed. Someone please let Amell and company compete this show, I mean Netflix did it for Manifest but they blew that one big time.....

Two of the greatest 2 season tragedies in television. Your Honor and Heels.

This show isn't just for wrestling fans, it opens the door to the sport with a witty script and characters you will invest in. Real life situations are depicted in Heels which are a painful reminder of what grass root wrestling organisations go through. The fighting siblings, the washed up wrestler making a return, defecting wrestlers, promoters at loggerheads, the ascension of women in wrestling. The show has it all and you will be glued especially if you are a wrestling fan. You even went back to watch old matches just to compare.

Kelli Berglund is amazing in the role and it's evident she has trained her socks off to be authentic

This show is well done and truly an honor to the sport. It needs to be picked up by another network if Starz don't realise what they have.

I just finished Season 1 of Heels and came away pretty impressed. It's a show that's absolutely worth watching. I came into the show already a fan of both Stephen Amell & Alexander Ludwig but this show made even a bigger fan. They both do an incredible job here as does the supporting cast. Those two play two brothers in a Georgia community that own, run and participate in an independent wrestling company. It shows the rivalry between the brothers both in the ring and in their regular lives as they try to grow the company. I already knew about the wrestling world and how independent organizations struggle to keep up but you don't have to be a fan of wrestling to enjoy this show. The writing is just as good as the acting as it will pull you in from the very first episode. I can't wait for another season.

Being a fan of of both Stephen Amell (Arrow) and Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) I was looking to this ever since I first heard about it. Well this show not only met my expectations but surpassed them. I'm also a fan of wrestling, not a die hard fan like some other people reviewing here, but still a fan. Even though it's probably more enjoyable if you know you're wrestling, you don't have to be a fan to like this show. It's good regardless if you're a wrestling fan or not. Both Amell and Ludwig are excellent in this. They've both come a long way as actors and really show their talent here. I'm glad to hear this did well enough to her renewed for another season.
