Heels

I know the show was on STARZ before they canned it but for those on the fence about watching it, just give it a few episodes to warm up to you. We know suicide is a difficult subject, but they do a good job showing the perils of all parties involved with the before and after the person's untimely death. Season 2 is well-written and keeps you engaged each episode with various characters feelings and emotions adding to it's entertainment value. If you enjoy wrestling, romance, comedy, or drama then this show is for you. Hey Netflix, let's get this show renewed so they can finish the story the right way and get more eyes on the product compared to Starz (no offense to Starz)!

You already know it's gonna be a winner the way the first episode ends. It's a lot more than wrestling and the showmanship behind it. The leads are gonna make this show very very entertaining but also have a lot of depth too. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

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.

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 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.
