Sexuality remains central in the second season of ‘Heartbreak High’, maintaining the drama and chaos of the first season. With established characters, storytelling feels more seamless. The mystery surrounding Bird Psycho’s identity and their hostility towards Amerie and Harper adds intrigue and keeps viewers engaged. Focused on teenage struggles, the show authentically portrays real-world issues, with imperfect characters grappling with their own challenges. While season two may not surpass its predecessor, it matches its intensity, offering engaging viewing.
Continuing from season one, season two sees a shift at Hartley High School where Sexual Literacy Tutorials become elective, leading to tension with two opposing groups: the Puriteens advocating sex abstinence and the CUMLORDS, a chauvinistic faction led by Spider (Bryn Chapman Parish). Meanwhile, Amerie (Ayesha Madon) and Harper’s (Asher Yasbineck) friendship deepens, and Malakai (Thomas Weatherall) develops feelings for Rowan (Sam Rechner), a new student passionate about cinema classics. Darren (James Majoos) and Ca$h’s (Will McDonald) bond strengthens, while Harper and Amerie face torment from a mysterious individual leaving dead birds. Amerie decides to run for school captain representing the SLTs, competing against Sasha and Spider.
New characters introduced include Rowan, an enigmatic country boy caught in a love triangle, and Mr. Voss, the physical education teacher with unconventional ideas conflicting with the school’s principles. While most events are covered effectively, Quinni’s quest to uncover the ‘Bird Psycho’ feels bizarre, especially with its black and white tonality. Additionally, the season shocks viewers with Amerie’s pregnancy news, leading to her decision to terminate.
The performances are cohesive, with actors deeply embodying their characters and setting. Ayesha Madon excels as Amerie, while Asher Yasbineck delivers a strong performance as Harper. James Majoos brings vulnerability to his character due to his sexuality, and Sam Rechner adds intrigue as Rowan. ‘Heartbreak High’ delves into the lives of students facing genuine issues, skillfully bridging the gap between reality and drama. It remains captivating, resonating well with the TikTok generation and updating the original Australian series for Gen Z viewers. Unabashed and indulgent, it’s a guilty pleasure that leaves you wanting more.
