A fresh look at Hartley High over 20 years on. With her new friends outsiders Quinni and Darren Amerie must repair her reputation, while navigating love, sex, and heartbreak.
Watchseries; We need more good Aussie shows like this, they're relatable, deep, funny and has so much diversity. To the LGBTQIA's, indigenous, disabilities and the personalities. It honestly could impact all of Australia and the way things work.
The stories never slowed, it always kept me guessing. Some characters I fell in love with, especially the ships, and some characters I was annoyed/repulsed by, with every episode my opinions kept changing.
I love the use of our Aussie slang and just getting to hear our accent on tv again was just so refreshing. We need more shows like this, more Aussie authentic shows.

Heartbreak High watchseries. As a massive fan of the original series in the 90s and am very happy that the powers that be deemed it was worthy of a reboot cause it really is.
Now to the fans of the original that think maybe this is too woke or cashing in on political correctness you are wrong the original show tackled controversial issues that were relevant at the time same as what they are doing here, it's a big thumbs up from me so far but I do hope they have some light hearted episodes let's not make it all grim. Was really good to see Scott Major back as Rivers still trying to work out is it the same guy
Or a new man.

Amazing show, funny, emotional, great three-dimensional characters that highlight just how diverse the Australian population is. More realistic than Euphoria, think it will definitely appeal to fans of Sex Education (but not as graphic so okay for younger teens ~15). Really captured the experience of growing up in Australia. The casting was amazing, and the diversity in the cast really let the writers explore so many different Aussie experiences, especially loved seeing the Aboriginal representation actually done well. Great Aussie music too (The Divinyls, and strawberry kisses were fun throwbacks), will be devo'd if this isn't renewed ;) want season 2 asap.

A decently accurate representation of teens in Australia with a great cast of flawed characters that you find yourself being really invested in. They all have their own depth and no one feels like an unnecessary addition. Sex is a main theme but it is never shown or referenced in a way that feels unnecessary or gratuitous. It is well paced and written, nothing feels unearned.
Good balance of funny and serious, found myself both laughing and nearly crying.
Yeah some of the acting isn't 100% but these are young actors and you can feel them get better and better as the season goes on.
Hope it gets a season two.

Synopsis ¨Heartbreak 22¨ follows a almost identical format to the original series, but very current and updated.
Analysis: reboots generally are interesting. The tap into a brand, with a dedicated fanbase they can be tricky when it comes to the reactions of old fans. Personally as a 84 born kid I really wanted to like it, but there was a bit of concern. After watching the first two episodes it's easy to admit how well it is done. Realistic, fun and captures the spirit of Heartbreak High very well.
The great thing about the series though is that is it just as relatable a the originals. One warning the 3rd and 4th episode are really not great, they go into an Americanized format of a high school drama and bank only on the sex. Don't worry after a de-tour around the 5th episodes it pick up again.
Story: all the dramas and shananigans that teenagers go through during the high school
Dialogue: 10/10 fantastic
Costume / Decor: 10/10 as realistic as can be
Anything else: very excited to see to series unfold as it is going. And I hope this series with catch on with a whole new generation. Coz that is where the real success is measured.

I started off absolutely hating this reboot of one of my favorite TV shows. I thought it was badly written, over the top woke bs and I was absolutely gonna vote this down and give it a one star review.
I continued watching the episodes and started to realize the damn thing was growing on me...
The writing wasn't great in many areas and I cringed more than a few times with some of the lines that were written.
But honestly, I have to say I got to the end of the last episode and wanted another season.
I am still in love with Peter Rivers as much today as I was back in the 90's...I loved him more than I loved Drazic.

My favorite character without a doubt is Darren.
PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER SEASON.
