What do the critics say about High Heat on Netflix?

High Heat was released in Spanish worldwide, and IMDb gave it 5.8/10 stars.

The Guardian gave it a 2/5  and reviewed it as, “Mostly, High Heat is just a bit sloppy. The show’s central romance arrives from nowhere and continues without giving Olivia much of a stake or say in it. That love story, like everything else in High Heat, is lukewarm.”

Meanwhile, Decider summed up the review with, “While High Heat isn’t the kind of telenovela that we may be used to seeing here, with romantic comedy and lots of twists joined with moments of high drama, it’s still pure soapy cheese, and that’s just fine.”
