Now that “Heels” is debuting on Netflix, it’s time to revisit what the sports drama created by Michael Waldron is all about and which classic songs from the music industry have appeared in the episodes of seasons 1 and 2.
The series follows two brothers and rivals, one a villain in the ring, the other a hero, both at war to promote their deceased father in wrestling, competing for national attention in a small Georgia town.
Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig bring the main characters to life over two successful seasons, which will arrive on the platform on September 15. In the meantime, check out the soundtrack…
