Mile High

Mile High is a fantastic show, featuring the hedonistic lifestyles of the cabin crew of a budget airline.

Despite constant whinging about their low salaries, the crew still manage to find money for booze and drugs, while soaking up the sun. There are sexy stopovers, unwanted pregnancies, crew relationships, prostitution, all topped off with lots of laughs.

It's camp, brash, in-your-face and great entertainment.

Whatever the tests may require to become cabin crew aboard FRESH monogamy is not one of them. Each episode is jam packed with fast-paced raunchy action, with gorgeous men and pretty women. Who wouldn't want a job with this airline. Alongside the steamy scenes some real issues are explored, including single-parenthood, abortion, terrorist threats and the consequences of adultery. Hearts are broken, lives are changed and it all ends in tears. Or does it? The DVD Boxsets are available quite reasonably from Amazon and are well worth the money. If you enjoy a good laugh and fancy a girlie or even a lads' night in, you won't go wrong with Mile High!

Worthy of Hollywood and the dumbing down agenda of the USA cinema and tele industry. I had to struggle during the first 30 minutes until I felt my brain melting from the sheer stupidity and low character of every acted role. I cannot believe that anyone could find the reprehensible behaviour and ill will of the entire cast. Classic stereotypes. Brits are morons. A nation of shopkeepers. Australians and Latin nations are dishonest thieves. Homosexuals are sex crazed, dizzy queen drug users and pushers. No one cares a flying F for anyone. Marco was unbelievably naive but what Will and the others did was appalling and deserved the gallows. With such people afoot I dread the future of western society. No wonder it is being made so easy for violent factions to overtake our societies, especially in the UK.

This is a terrific new Sunday night soap. It's late-ish (10 p.m.) start means that it's able to get a lot "closer to the knuckle" than most soaps. Whereas in most soaps the sexual shenanigans are merely implied or taken as fact, in "Mile High" we actually see the protagonists 'getting jiggy' with each other, sometimes with next to nothing left to the imagination. A few of the sex scenes to date could even be classed as borderline soft porn. And the language has a tendency towards being fairly 'Anglo-Saxon' at times, with the "f" word cropping up numerous times in most episodes so far.

The characters are also for the most part quite interesting as well, the hard-as-nails purser Janis and the "camp-as-a-row-of-tents" gay steward Will being particular stand-outs.

It's not arty-farty cerebral fare by any stretch of the imagination, but it's great entertainment and the best possible way to see out the weekend on a Sunday night. Hopefully it will be renewed for a second season once this series ends.

I started watching this series by chance and never missed an episode since. The plot is not the most brilliant, but it doesn't matter. You will like the shots, the locations and the editing. In fact the editing is the most impressive factor in this series. The characters are interacting at a level that is far beyond the reality: the crew always drinks, parties or takes drugs. Nevertheless they are perfectly able to manage their job wonderfully. They have a lot of glamor in them and it translates to the viewer. The only bothering issue for me is the frequent change of the actors. They come and go without any warning and you must accept it as an integral part of the series.
