What does it remind you of? Pass through Station 19 or Chicago Fire in a dramatic telenovela to High Heat (original title: Donde Fubo Fuego)
Our view: Author: José Ignacio Valenzuela, High Heat has so many interconnectednesses and surprising plot twists in the first episode alone that it's almost hard to follow.The music is almost always pulsating and dramatic. The performances by nearly everyone in the cast are uplifting and melodramatic. The budget is never high. After the episode is over, it all becomes an hour that grabs your attention, even if it doesn't make a lasting impression on the viewer. Because I'm interested in cakes (and a little bit of cheesecake). Amozultia spends half the episode with her shirt off, and as the story progresses, she seems to have enough time to flirt with Olivia before finding out she's a firefighter. There are a lot of scenes where she gets fucked, mostly in the shower.
It feels like Ricardo, who was a firefighter before Pancho went deep into the woods at the fire station and left due to arson and other crimes, somehow pranked himself into the fire station. Similarly, the story carries over to Beefcake. Again, I'm not sure. The sultry stuff helps define the telenovela style. I hope it's not a device that is used in place of actual character and story development. .
Farewell Shot: A mysterious person tracking Pedro sets his photo on fire.
Sleeper Star: Esmeralda Pimentel has a bigger role as Olivia than the first episode suggests. Otherwise, the show's writers wouldn't keep throwing Olivia and Pancho together over and over.
Most pilot-like lines: "Don't fuck strangers" Olivia strips and tells Pancho outside her club. "You just want to see them naked," he counters.
Our call: Stream it. A lot of high heat made us sick.
