Heels: Discord (2023)
They're turning it into some sad drama.
Ok, their dad killed himself. If they want to have a show about suicide and the emotional aftermath then do it somewhere else. What happened to the action, the subtle comedy, the normal interactions? All they've been doing this season is whining and crying about their dad dying, which was BEFORE season one. They should have had a few scenes and dealt with it then and then moved on with THIS storyline. They have enough story arches that they don't have to keep dwelling and dwelling on this suicide. If I wanted a sad drama I'm pretty sure there are other shows out there that suit that bill instead of trying to hide it in a sports drama show that should have more action and a lot of other emotions other than depressing sadness.
Heels: Ten-Bell Salute (2023)
Boring
I'm not sure why they insisted wasting our time with this flashback episode. It seems some shows do this when they run out of ideas to move forward on. I'm not sure what information this episode brought to light that we didn't already know, could have guessed, or could have been told about in 5 minutes instead of 45. Let's hope season 2 gets better from here, but I guess it can't get any worse. We already knew their father committed suicide, so there's no doubt that there was some sort of celebration or moving on afterwards, otherwise how would they have got to where they are today, running the show.

Started as a comedy...
After season 1 starting as a comedy it quickly moved to a dramedy and more or less ended as a drama. Why can't we have straight comedies any more? It seems there's no escape from life's problems nowadays. Every time we try to just leave all the stress of daily living behind us, something has to slam us back to reality. Usually it's real life, but more and more frequently it's comedies themselves; the very tool we're attempting to use to release ourselves from daily stressors. Today's comedies refuse to allow us to fully escape, consistently reminding us that there's no true escape. If there's a season 2, likely count me out. I'll keep looking for a new comedy without the needless drama.

Gratuitous violence
I watch a lot of Canadian fare but I wasn't a fan of this movie. Save the gratuitous violence for elsewhere.
