Hartley, coeurs à vif

heartbreak high is a fantastic television series from australia, and is an all round great production - from the filming to the acting itself, it is certainly on another level from your average sub-standard teen dramas.

heartbreak high is full of interesting and realistic characters, from the misunderstood Rivers to the eccentric Con. the storylines are brilliant and extremely gripping, and this is magnified by the superb acting talents on show, such as Scott Major (Rivers)and Kym Wilson (Sam Robinson. the gritty storylines do not shy away from real life issues such as drug abuse, family break-ups and troubled relationships, and this is refreshing to see in teen drama. there is also comic relief in parts, which helps present a fully rounded piece of drama. a great example of drama at its finest.

Heartbreak High is one of my favourite tv shows. I used to love watching it after school on tuesdays? on the BBC. They used to show it on the school holidays too, but this year it aint on :( anyway.....hh was a great show when it started. The grittyness of it was brilliant but it wasnt overplayed. Each character was given an equal time in the spotlight. The story of Nick and Jody was amazingly portrayed. But things started to change when the heartley high kids had to move to another school. Sure there were still many great storylines and characters at that time, like ryan, anita, sarah, nikki etc, but somewhere along the line it seemed to loose its way. By the final series it was still good, but it had seemed to have lost its edge. That was the main selling point about heartbreak high, it was telling tough stories about un-perfect kids, sure they all looked good, but all of them did have their demons, and thats what made it so appealing. It just seemed by the end series it was time to finish. I have so many favourite characters from the show, but my all-time favourites have to be mai, anita, katarina, ryan, nikki, drazic, con, mel, danny, jody, d'espo, nick.....ok thats nearly all of them, what can i say, i love the show!

By far the favorite series from my childhood. "Beverly Hills" and others from the genre can not come close. It has been aired for 7 seasons, has 210 episodes and was a springboard for a bunch of Australian stars. Maybe it's not a masterpiece of cinema, but it is best in the genre without any competition. Mostly because it's realistic. I mean, how many people in the world can relate to rich snobs from Beverly Hills... The events in this series are something most similar to growing up in Serbia that we had the opportunity to watch on television. And we all know someone who is the image of every character in the series. It's amazingly addictive and 210 episodes of 45 minutes flies by in a jiffy.

9/10

This is the best show i have ever seen in my life. Its very very very realistic, with great actors, who also act very good. This show deals with problems present today, some of them are very serious, but also there is many funny moments. My favorite characters are Drazic and Anita.

Watched this show when I was in elementary school and I loved it! It's timeless and it shows real problems teenage kids are facing. Back then, I recordered some episodes on videotapes :) I was sooo happy when Netlix announced that it will be availabe on their platform. Now I'm watching it again, brings a lot of happy memories.

Parents, you should play this show to your teenage kids, it will make their growing up so much better and easier.
