Heels would be a better show if it could quit with the hand-holding, if it could stand on the power of its own convictions without needing to fold in a CliffsNotes summary of its every move. And yet Heels can win you over despite the clunkiness.
-
Despite all the early handholding, the show inevitably ends up feeling very “inside baseball,” conversations about the strain of developmental years ultimately meaning nothing when a performer sells out for corporate cash, in which terms like “screwjob” come up without being thoroughly clarified for casuals, make up a large part of the banter and narrative conflict.
-
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.

Dec 3, 2021Finally a good show without the American propaganda of the 2020s. A good old school series about brotherhood, well interpreted.
