Hightown

After reading all the great reviews for Hightown I thought I'd finally give it a chance. I'm glad I did because it was definitely worth watching. It's a crime drama about the war on drugs that has everything from drug use, drug dealers, corrupt cops, murders, etc. This is a lot better than your average crime drama because of its writing but mostly because of acting performances from its two stars, James Dale Badge and Monica Raymond. Hightown will hook you from the very first episode and hold on to you until the end. I'm glad that's it's already been renewed for a third season because it definitely deserves it.

I just don't get this one. It doesn't match the show, or at least I don't get it if it does.... It's just annoying. And long. Longest theme song out there. Long enough to let you decide it's annoying and you don't like it with the show.

Love the show! Always something to look forward. Street life with good life mixed in one. Not the normal ehh show. Lots of adventures. Jackie keeps you on your turns. She has so much heart but she ants to be a super hero and can't deal with her own issues. It's like good guy bad guy but I'm a great person despite my own demons. She has a great crew around her. Ray Abruzzo is a rude fucccc but he keeps it real and is a great cop! Lots of twist and turns from his egotistical self

MUSIC kills me . I literally have to skip the intro and go past it. Seems like few of the music choices go with the scenes. Thought it would get better with each season .

I was about to stop watching this in S1, E4, glad I didn't because season 2 really stepped it up. I mean it was like day and night compared to the ridiculous S1, where every character annoyed me, especially the fish cop. A lot of times movies becomes worse when a particular character dies, that wasn't the case here in S1. I was surprised he lasted as long as he did.

The gay sex remain wild and sexy, which was the most I've ever seen in a crime series, but the heterosexual remain blah and boring, had to ff it even when they were laying in bed, and I'm heterosexual. Lol

I couldn't believe how the energy turned up S2, along with the music theme and how crazy things were happening all over the place reminded me of White Lotus. Had me laughing out loud.

1 thing, I wasn't pleased how the initial killer was being portrayed as some type of gentle caring bear after savagely murdering women, that really irked me to the end.

All I can say is hang in there or just skip S1, you'll have a good time.

The first season was probably the best, but I did watch all three. The biggest hurdle for me was the main character. I tried so hard to like her but she was just so bratty and out of control and constantly falling off the wagon with drugs and alcohol. Somehow she is able to keep working cases while completely cracked out of her mind or drunk, (like none of the drug enforcement officers noticed??) I found myself liking some of the "bad guys" more than the "good guys", all the way to the end. There are some good storylines, relationships, and entertaining crime sequences, but I had to fast forward some of her spiraling scenes. Also, just a heads up, the show ends with some unresolved questions.
