Sky High (2023) User Reviews

... really.. was to be expected

[bjarias · 5/10 · 19 September 2023]

... for most of the production, acting can't be terribly faulted... having Asia prancing around lots of times high-heels and thigh-high-skin-tight dresses altogether a different matter... and the ludicrous seventh episode action sequences are nothing short of embarrassing.. who making-watching would approve them

... sure lots of the storyline is dumb, but plot-line-accuracy is not the selling-point of any of these kinds of works... they kept it relatively brief having just seven episodes, that was a smart decision... debate were there to be a 2nd season how many would be watching ended with cancellation of the series... those seeking their Asia Ortega fix need look elsewhere.

Waste of Time

[iamyathz · 1/10 · 22 March 2023]

Dont watch this series it is such a waste of time even the ending of this series also is such a meaningless, totally a waste of time there are lot of robberies going on again again like these police are so weak in that country or they like some gta police npc which they delete the case tr that made it so meaningless and other thing which i liked is she is good looking and one way attractive the acting they made is good but i dont understand who wrote this story and what is the purpose of his story it is totally not worth wasted my one heck of a time, and at last also they didn't confront the lawyer too.

Gripping Show, Don't Understand The Hate It's Getting

[akmunsami · 9/10 · 24 March 2023]

From the first episode, the show grips you and keeps you attached. The storyline is absolutely amazing and keeps you wanting more.

The characters are great with perfect casting.

This show really has the potential of being one of the best shows out there.

I honestly don't Under the hate it's receiving because I think it's a show worth anybody time.

Do i think the show is short? : Yes, I do, I think it could have a few more episodes mostly just so I can watch more of it. It'll also help with some character development. The current characters are absolutely gold.

Loved the end of Season 1 can't wait for Season 2.

THEY TRIED AND FAILED!

[Guanche48 · 3/10 · 21 March 2023]

What a shame!!, it could have been very good. They tried, but this series does not reach the quality it deserves at all, on the contrary, they screwed up very badly in this one.

To be honest, I started seeing it only because of Luis Tosar, a great actor that I really like. He only has kind of a supporting role in this case.

The series is full of inconsistencies, badly edited and full of cliches, simply trying to copy good criminal series without reaching the level, not even close!

All imaginable cliches go by , corrupt family, corrupt police chief, characters you won't worry about, pretty girl showing navel who cares only about sex, power and money, police infiltrator, sex and meaningless scenes just to fill minutes... ... Chinese mafia that is almost laughable in this case, Gym with guys who want to play tough but aren't convincing at all, blonde woman with a wig who tries to be scary,..the wig is! , girl with a motorcycle delivering pizzas to spy.. This is almost a comedy, and yes, it even makes me laugh.

And the end... ayayaii... very badly done and in a hurry.

As for the title, I would have translated it as 'sky is the limit', and not high sky. Strange translation.

I have some positives.. the action is not bad, and in general it's entertaining and not a long series, thank goodness!

So if you like poorly made and poorly edited , the kind that don't matter and we forget quickly, and you only see them for the action, this is the one for you.

Finally for the creators, Mr. Calparsoro and Mr. Guerricaechevarria, since you spent the money on this, you could have worked better and harder on a good series because the idea is good.

Good Luck for the next one! And please don't waste time and money making a second season.

Entertaining

[jthuesen-75850 · 10/10 · 1 April 2023]

This show is entertaining as a guilty pleasure. Enough storyline and interesting enough characters to keep you watching. It's like a Spanish Fast and the Furious.. Not world class cinema but for it's genre very entertaining.

If you are looking for something easy to watch and bit of fun this is it. The acting by the leads is also good not something you normally get with type of movie (no offensive to Paul Walker or Vin Diesel lol).

I watched this without having seen the movie and could follow on easy enough. For a bit of escapism give this a try. The world is stressful enough why not watch some guys trying to steal a truck load of hams lol.

Effort without any result

[JohnM63 · 1/10 · 16 May 2023]

What kind of producer would spent money on a seven episode series that delivers nothing. Definitely one of the worst crime series I've ever seen and for sure my lowest rating so far. The problem is not in the acting or photography or even the dialogues.

Any series or filmshould at least have some sort of decent story with a proper beginning, a proper end and events in between that take you from a to b. The whole story and the scenario fail miserably at this. Actually there hardly is any story. There's only a bunch of events and action without any clear final destination where it should all come together. There's some Chinese gang that needs to be financially compensated. Why this is important to the story remains unclear and it only seems an excuses for some robbery. Talking about robberies: there's a whole bunch of them, all carried out by some group of low level gangsters with hardly any brains. Your average shoplifter is probably smarter. The whole series feels like an incoherent pandemonium of scenes going nowhere. The scenario fails miserably at multiple point such as sudden changes from daylight to night within the same car ride. It's shameful.

At episode six I began to wonder at how this could possibly end in an acceptable way in the last (seveenth) episode. It couldn't. The final episode makes it clear that there just isn't a final plot. It's all so poor that the end isn't even an anticlimax, it's just ... anticipated disappointment. Ok, the killer of Estrella has finally been found and killed. That's the only storyline that ends in a decent way. The rest of whatever lines there are, are simply left open, but not in the cliffhanger way.

The series was a total waste of time and effort and its main function is probably to give some young actors screentime. Have a go at it if you like incoherent 'stories'.

Surprised by a very enjoyable crime series

[jonwoodh · 8/10 · 22 March 2023]

A sequel to a Spanish thriller, this Spanish crime series doesn't take it self too seriously, as seen in the opening caper which involves a truck of hams and a wild escape.

The show focuses on a Sole, played by Asia Ortega Leiva, a young woman finding her own way in the crime world, attempting to emerge from the wing of her boss father.

There are all kinds of crazy heists including a French castle and lots of intrigue with dirty cops, Colombian drug gangs, the Chinese mob, and surprising revelations.

It's well made, nothing too deep, and an enjoyable ride that takes the viewer from Spain to France and Portugal with a finale in Nigeria.

The show is amazing ignore the bad reviews

[kaksmdnwnxjxnsdnx · 10/10 · 24 March 2023]

First this series is a massive improvement from the film it had more action it's an amazing Spanish show i like it a lot since I understand the language I watched the movie before the series the movie was okay but the show was something else the improvement from the film was shown I hope it gets renewed for another season to see if estrela cousin gets revenge for what the man did and see if sol escapes the police

Overall the series was amazing and it's not based on the Disney movie but its based on the Netflix one sky high the movie . The police chases when they did the robberies we're funny.

Not bad, better than the film

[ivana-bg-543-949805 · 9/10 · 2 April 2023]

The film had bad casting IMO of the two main characters, but here they did very well, very strong leads, both of them. And the characters are better written, but it has the same character as the film it follows, but it is an upgrade in every aspect. It is not slow paced and there are no time jumps.

The series has its weak links, many impossible scenarios, shortcuts and easy resolves, but the story as it flows has such a strong grip so you dont tend to concentrate on these flaws. Only in the beginning and the end do the flaws really stand out, but many Hollywood movies and series have much bigger flops in the story. Anyway, I cant wait for the Season 2.
