Season 2 of 'Heels' is not that different from Season 1, which is good or bad news depending on how you liked the first.
The first episode from Heels Season 2 is a breath of fresh air. Told almost entirely through a flashback, the season premiere dissects Ace and Jack Spade’s relationship with their father, which was something that Season 1 only hinted at but left an effect nevertheless that could be felt throughout most episodes. After a premiere that’s equal parts tender and thrilling, you’d think that the new batch would angle towards improving over Season 1. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
The biggest issue with the second season of Heels is the same as Season 1. Since we are not physically there to root along the crowd, it'd be great if the series gave us other elements to relate to and care about, like a callback to a rehearsal scene or a particular move that a character had to train hard to nail. But we rarely see rehearsal scenes or the wrestlers' struggles during practice.
Ironically, Heels is pretty comfortable in giving plenty of space to Bill Hancock , a character that’s openly misogynistic and is rarely held accountable for what he says and does. It's one thing to have the people in the story wave him off, but the series itself gives Hancock a pass by offering multiple chances for the character to grow with the public. True, the character sometimes works as nothing more than comic relief due to his outdated worldview.
