High Tides is one of the latest shows to hit Netflix – but what is it about, who’s in it, and is it worth watching? Here’s what we know.
Netflix has pumped out a number of romantic projects over the past year, from Love at First Sight to XO, Kitty.
But if you’re looking for a classic romantic drama series filled with first loves and some scandalous scenes between teens, then look no further than High Tides.
But what is High Tides about, and is it even worth watching? Well, read on to find out.
What is High Tides about?
High Tides is a teen drama set in Belgium, which deals with topics of class, family secrets, sex, romance, and general coming of age shenanigans.
There is currently no trailer available, but you can check out a series clip here.
The official Netflix synopsis reads: “Over a tense summer on the Belgian coast, a wealthy friend group faces adulthood’s harsh realities while grappling with love and societal expectations.”
The episodes are fairly short, but perhaps not for kids, as there are some racy scenes of nudity and sex, with the show being rated at 15.
Season 1 first hit Netflix on December 7, but is already making a splash with its 10 episodes.
