What to Expect

PremiereLens read

High Tides pairs sunlit beach hangouts with a restless, soap-style drama of shifting couples and tested loyalties. Romance rarely stays separate from friendship: breakups, betrayal and infidelity complicate life within a tight circle. The story unfolds at an easy pace, allowing the warmth of seaside days to coexist with heartbreak and the uncertainty of figuring out who to become.

Parents, siblings and best friends share everyday scenes with teenagers dealing with anxiety, depression and family pressure. Those private struggles receive careful attention rather than disappearing behind the romantic complications. In the small-town setting, closeness can offer comfort even as relationships become tangled, giving the summer a bittersweet texture beneath its sunny surface.

Strongest Match

High Tides makes summer romance feel tender and bittersweet, with friendships shifting alongside first love and family strain. The Summer I Turned Pretty has that same sunlit ache in beach-house days, boardwalk nights, and a love triangle that tests childhood bonds, though its coastal nostalgia feels gentler.

Euphoria

HBO • Apr 29, 2026

DramaCrime

An American adaptation of the Israeli show of the same name, "Euphoria" follows the troubled life of 17-year-old Rue, a drug addict fresh from rehab with no plans to stay clean. Circling in Rue's orbit are Jules, a transgender girl searching for where she belongs; Nate, a jock whose anger issues mask sexual insecurities; Chris, a football star who finds the adjustment from high school to college harder than expected; Cassie, whose sexual history continues to dog her; and Kat, a body-conscious teen exploring her sexuality. As the classmates struggle to make sense of their futures, the series tackles the teenage landscape of substance-enhanced parties and anxiety-ridden day-to-day life with empathy and candor.

Why this pick

High Tides follows teens whose crushes and friendships get tangled with private struggles, a mix Euphoria makes rawer and more dangerous. Its suburban parties, betrayals, and aching moments of tenderness put addiction and family strain close to the surface, while the Belgian seaside drama stays gentler and more sunlit.

Heartbreak High

Netflix • Mar 25, 2026

DramaRomance

A fresh look at Hartley High over 20 years on. With her new friends - outsiders Quinni and Darren - Amerie must repair her reputation, while navigating love, sex, and heartbreak.

View show

Why this pick

High Tides finds warmth in teen friendships and first heartbreaks, even as family pressure and betrayal complicate the summer. Heartbreak High brings that mix to a colorful school setting, where awkward hookups and group-chat jokes sit beside tender moments, with a faster, funnier edge.
