    This is a great series. Far exceeded any expectations I had for it. It's a worth while drama

    Surprisingly engaging.

    Overall Heels is a well put together drama. The performances by the cast are good from top to bottom of the card. There is a lot to chew on with this one episode and it is paced very well, but it begs the question if it will go the distance or run out of steam halfway through the match. For now its definitely worth sticking around for a second episode and see    Surprisingly engaging.

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

    “Heels” ultimately succeeds as a freshman drama and could grow into something really special. Just expect some less-than-thrilling undercard bouts before the real action begins.

    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.

    Throughout Heels, Jack agonizes over his scripts, trying to figure out how to make the audience care about his characters enough to come back for the next event. Heels itself, thankfully, is already there.
