Heels Review: 10 Ups & 2 Downs For Episode 2: 'Dusty Finish'
Starz's pro wrestling drama this week delivers a bar fight Bill Watts would've been proud of.
Having hugely impressed with last week's debut episode Kayfabe, Starz's Heels is now back with its second offering.
As we left things last week, Jack Spade had thrown the very career of his younger brother Ace into question. With cocksure Ace having been scouted by the big leagues and seeking fame and fortune, Jack screwed his brother other, putting him in a legit submission move and ending the two's big main event match in a matter of seconds.
With Ace positioned as the star hero of the Duffy Wrestling League, seeing him crying out in pain in such a manner ruined his wrestling character, caused the locals to mock him, and sent Ace into a drunken haze. For Jack, he has to deal with the issue of the DWL losing their top star, but he also to deal with this hugely fractured relationship with his brother and the impact that has on his family life as well as his business life.
That pretty much sets the stall for the brilliantly-titled Dusty Finish - a nod to the legendary Dusty Rhodes and his habit for pulling the rug out from the audience with the finish to various wrestling matches - and this second episode again proved to be another fantastic outing for Heels.
