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 100% proof entertainment - the lives of a budget airline crew -sexy young people, sex (straight and gay)'n' suntans, jealousy, back-biting and bitchiness, lurve in romantic locations and down 'n' dirty cabin-couplings. It has action-packed punchy story lines, often intense emotional moments, all at a fast pace.

With its frank hedonism and hormone-pumping 20 somethings it perhaps is more realistic than many soaps where older straight laced characters are the voice of wisdom and moderation. Here the characters go off the rails, make mistakes - and pay for all of them. It is life in a insecure and badly heavily disciplined paid job but where the constant temptation and opportunity is to shop, look good and party.

Mile High raises the question why there aren't other adult soaps reflecting the madness - and sadness - raging hormones often create. Also the bear pit of bitchiness that workplaces can be. For many 20-30 somethings it must be quite true to life - much more so than dreary evenings in the Rovers Return.

Like a budget airline itself - it's cheap, it's cheeky, it's brash but the punters keep coming back for more. Top top marks for the makers.

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!

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.

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.
