Sky High: The Series
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Sky High: The Series is a continuation of the film Sky High, created by the same writer-director. It draws inspiration from true events while fictionalizing its central characters. The show centers on a woman whose husband loses his life while working for a criminal organization known for orchestrating daring heists of anything and everything, from ham legs to construction vehicles. Left financially strained and with a son to care for, she makes the bold decision to fill her late husband's shoes within his crew.
Is It Any Good?
Starting with a bang, this followup immediately draws viewers into a world filled with questions about the story's origins and the real-life inspirations behind it. Sky High: The Series features a trio of strong female characters, each bringing their unique power to the narrative. The visual aspects are a feast for the eyes, from high-octane car chases to lavish interior shots of upscale homes. With compelling main characters, a touch of romance, and plenty of chase scenes, the series effectively meets the expectations of a heist-themed show. It offers exactly what fans of the genre are looking for, blending suspense and entertainment in a way that will keep its audience engaged and wanting more.
