The Starz series delves deeply into the lives of two brothers in a small-town American wrestling league Heels is highly regarded by many viewers, and for good reason It's an entertaining sports show, armed with plenty of relationship drama and exciting in-ring action

Whether revisiting the Duffy Wrestling League or ransacking for new shows, now is the perfect time to watch “Heels” all at once But if you need a little more information about the show, including the critical acclaim it received when it first aired, read on

“Heels,” as already noted, is a wrestling drama However, instead of taking place in the glamorous world of the WWE, Michael Waldron's show is set in Duffy, Georgia, and is about a more down-to-earth life

Here we are introduced to Jack and Ace Space (Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig, respectively) Following the unexpected death of his father, wrestling legend Tom Spade, Jack inherited his family's promotion, the Duffy Wrestling League He is now the promotion's “heel” (villain in pro wrestling parlance), which has drawn the ire of audiences [Ace, on the other hand, is the “face” of the league, a crowd favorite, and the golden boy of the DWL However, their in-ring identities slowly begin to take over their real lives as the two come into conflict over the nature of their promotions

In short, “Heel” is a fine mix of sports action and engaging family drama that is well worth a second look Don't be scared off if you're not a big fan of professional wrestling; aside from watching all of WWE in one summer as a teenager, I'm far from a rabid fan myself That said, there's a lot to like about “Heels,” and I highly recommend giving it a look now that it's available on Netflix

Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that “Heels” is “the story of people who keep making mistakes but try to fix themselves over and over again, and the results are palpably painful” The matches, directed by Peter Segal, look impossibly elegant yet painfully brutal,” noting the action in the ring and adding that the series ‘rewards patience’ and gets even better after expanding its scope beyond Jack and Ace

Matt Fowler also wrote in his 8/10 IGN review that “‘Heels’ is a gritty but affectionate portrayal of the wrestling world, led by actors who truly love wrestling,” while showing the wrestling world “in an accessible way,” and that the serial TV series It also provides enough soapy (in a good way) family drama and character conflict to keep the engine running")
