The world is frothing for Aussie Netflix hit
Netflix’s Heartbreak High revival is rocketing up the charts, hitting number one in Australia a week after its release, but more significantly, it’s also winning fans globally.
Is it the Australian slang? Is it because everyone has to google what an “eshay” is? Or how loose we are with the C-bomb? Is it that our public high schools are a little bit worse for wear and our teachers a bit fed-up?
There’s an authenticity to the new series, a devil-may-care attitude that declares there is no room for American earnestness here. It's also being celebrated for its commitment to diversity and representation.

Hayden told news.com.au before the series launch: “I didn’t have a high school experience, I was homeschooled from year eight onwards because high school sucks when you’re autistic."
The rainbow that is Heartbreak High’s characters has really hit home for many of its fans. And from school hallway fights to flying dildos, the popular show is also being hailed as the 'Australian Sex Education'. So is it?
