Season 2 Review:
Instead of rehashing the beef between Jack and Ace, which would ultimately be a disservice to the healthy development of both characters, the show chooses to explore new sources of interpersonal conflict and raises the stakes of the various rivalries that drive the drama unfolding behind the scenes.

Season 2 Review:
Heels' story steps over the line from inspirational to corny at times, and the finale cliffhanger leaps headlong into melodrama. But professional wrestling is not an art that thrives on subtlety, and true fans know that even shaky set-ups can result in a spectacular payoff.

Season 1 Review:
Heels is an entertaining and worthwhile watch for wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans alike. While the show’s in-ring segments are pretty cool, the show’s biggest sell is the prickly but tight-knit relationship between the Spade brothers, who have very different dreams but remain entwined because of the family business.

Season 1 Review:
McCormack's performance along with Chris Bauer's liquor-soaked portrayal of Wild Bill Hancock, a local wrestler who made good and abandoned Duffy, compensate for the limited emotional resonance of the show's top star. ... This a drama that more often plods than leaps and never makes a case for its necessity.

A well-scripted show. A tale for two brothers that is mixed with a good family drama. I'm not the one to be surprised often, but this show caught me off-guard. Loved the finale, solid season. One of the best 2021 shows I've seen.

How did I sleep on this show? It's really good and doesn't require you to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it. Check it out. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Can't wait for season 2.
