Heels is a new drama television series that premiered on Starz in August 2021. The show is created by Michael Waldron and is set in Duffy, a small town in Georgia, USA. Heels explores the world of independent wrestling and the complicated relationships between two brothers who have inherited their family's wrestling promotion. The series stars Stephen Amell, who plays Jack Spade, the older of the two brothers and the lead heel of the Duffy Wrestling League (DWL). Jack is a charismatic wrestler who is willing to push boundaries and even break the rules to win matches. However, he is also haunted by personal demons and carries the weight of the family business on his shoulders. Alison Luff plays Jack's wife, Staci Spade, who is also the business manager of the DWL. Staci is a tough and smart woman who takes care of everything behind the scenes. She supports Jack but also challenges him when necessary. Robby Ramos plays Ace Spade, Jack's younger brother and the lead face of the DWL. Ace is a talented wrestler with a passion for the sport, but he feels overshadowed by Jack's success and is desperate to prove himself. Ace is also dealing with personal issues, including an estranged relationship with their father, Tom Spade, played by David James Elliott. Heels follows the Spade brothers as they navigate the competitive world of wrestling, both inside and outside the ring. The show explores themes of family, loyalty, ambition, and sacrifice, as well as the highs and lows of pursuing a career in wrestling. One of the most compelling aspects of Heels is its portrayal of the wrestling industry. The show takes a realistic approach to wrestling, highlighting the physical toll it takes on the wrestlers' bodies and the business side of the sport. We see the Spade brothers trying to balance their passion for wrestling with the pressure to put on entertaining shows and sell tickets. Heels also delves into the complex relationships between the wrestlers, both in and out of character. We see the Spade brothers' dynamic play out both in the ring, where they perform as bitter enemies, and in their personal lives, where they struggle to find common ground. The show also features a diverse cast of wrestlers, each with their own personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Overall, Heels is a well-crafted drama that offers a fresh perspective on the world of wrestling. The show features strong performances from its cast, particularly from Amell and Luff, and its writing is both engaging and insightful. Whether you are a fan of wrestling or not, Heels is definitely worth checking out.
