December TV Finales - Hightown - Season Two

Not yet renewed for a third season, Hightown has literally just concluded its second season. What Boxing Day viewing.

Forget the fucking Boxing Day test, Sydney to Hobart or the sales. The Monica Raymund and James Badge Dale US crime series streams on Stan in Australia.


It's another tasty Starz production. Along with the Power series, P Valley, Run the World, Heels and more upcoming, Starz has a fairly impressive roster right now. Which is really great for Stan now they have lost any new Showtime originals.

The second season of this crime drama based in Cape Cod was far more enjoyable than the first season. Which did land back in the middle of last years lockdown. By chance this started at the end of this year's lockdown.

The bodies piled up this season in the drug dealing, murder crime series. With Monica Raymund as Jackie QuiƱones struggling with her past addictions, her romance/love life in season two is all over the shop. Whilst James Badge Dale as Det. Ray Abruzzo has a fall from grace along with an interesting plot twist with Riley Voelkel as Renee Segna.

With so many loose ends left by the end of season two, a third season is either in the works or on the minds of the production/writing team.

With so many lives either in the balance or caught up in major lies, a third season would be interesting. However if it did end, it left with lead Jackie heading down a very dark path.

I was slightly more impressed by the writing, the plot twists, the storylines this season. However with shows like P Valley missing in action this year, will a (possible) third season maybe be a little ways away?

With so many of my favourite TV shows yet, to be renewed I do hope this one gets the green light! Like seriously when is Yellowstone just going to be officially renewed for a fifth season. It's only the hottest TV show on US cable TV.
