The Heights

As a lover of UK and Australian telly, I'm always on the lookout for new series. The Heights is exactly the type of drama I love. The characters are real, relatable, and endearing. The storylines are important and heartfelt. The drama is top notch. I really hope there will be more seasons to come! I'll definitely be buying the series on DVD to support the show!

The ABC is Australia's public broadcaster with one hundred years of service providing news and entertainment across this vast island continent. 'The Heights' is a good fit in a great tradition of ABC serials like 'Blue Hills', 'Bellbird' and 'GP'. A light and entertaining 30 minute relationship drama series, it reflects the diverse life of multi-cultural inner city Australia. It may be a little 'nudging' for some still wedded to a 'white Australia' ethos. Maybe that was intended. Set in Perth, it could just as well be Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. After the first 10 episodes, I am finding it lots of fun to watch. The diversity of roles and the focus given to strong women and young people is very refreshing. For me, its best element is excellent writing. Thanks to: Hannah Carroll Chapman, Romina Accurso, Peter Mattessi, Megan Palinkas, Nick King, Clare Atkins, Niki Aken, Dot West, Magda Wozniak, Mithila Gupta, Tracey Defty-Rashid, Larissa Behrendt, Miley Tunnecliffe, Katie Beckett and Melissa Lee Speyer. Well done! And grateful thanks to developers Warren Clarke and Que Minh Luu.

Hi there Please let cast and crew how brilliant you all are. Recently seen 2 series in UK such a great drama with comedy and pathos used in equal quantity. I have cried loads at the end of the series 2 when Ryan died. The actors were all fantastic in the way they displayed thier emotions in this really sad scenario. Just praying that another series is recorded and BBC buy it. Whatever, it was an epic drama. Many thanks for this roux exoerienxe especially as it was during lockdown here. Kind regards Deborah Nelson UK 🇬🇧 xxxx

What an incredible show with heart and purpose. Great to see a wide array of representation, indicative of modern Australian society. It touches on topics WITH the audience not AT the audience, and tows the balance of light hearted and deep and meaningful. Thank you for creating this show.
