Jackie Quiñones, a hard-partying National Marine Fisheries Service agent, has her life thrown into disarray when she gets tasked with investigating serious crimes in her popular beach community. As if battling criminals isn't hard enough, Jackie walks the tightrope of sobriety as she tries to stay above a pool of secrets, betrayal and shame from her past. She becomes at odds with Sgt. Ray Abruzzo, an abrasive but effective member of the Cape Cod Interagency Narcotics Unit, until he becomes disgraced and is taken off the force as they both spiral from the stress of their investigations.

Critics Consensus

Monica Raymund's charms rise above any formulaic tendencies in Hightown's highly entertaining first season.

It's probably not what Cape Cod tourism boosters would've wished for, but since we're not going anywhere this summer, the show becomes an enjoyable getaway of a different sort.

But sometimes it feels like Hightown doesn't know what its own strengths are.

3/5

The show has such a gift in Raymund as Quinones, who layers her part so expertly and convincingly that - without wanting to denigrate the rest, which is solidly entertaining - her scenes seem almost to come from a different endeavour entirely.

Hightown grabs you from the very first scene, and the introduction of Raymund's free-wheeling, booze-addled, and coke-addicted Jackie seals the deal.

"Hightown" delivers trashy thrills within a very somber, serious setting.

Hightown is a crime series that is quite effective, but it thinks it's more complex and profound than it really is. [Full Review in Spanish]

This show needs to be labeled a comedy. Any Peace, Police, etc...officer will have a great laugh. My God...how many times will a suspect or known criminal advise the police that "you all need to figure out the rest". What was it, once a season? This show is really...no...no... really, really STUPID!!! I've been involved in that world, even was handed the pistol from a number one runner, who turned out to be my worst enemy, and still...I am here with so much to tell. I've lived this shows wannabe stories... they're so much BS!!!

sex scene after sex scene.. so boring and untalented. stop using sex to mask bad writing.

Poor writing, extremely poor character and plot development hiding behind explicit sexual content and gangsta drama. The lgbtq angle is laudable but loses value in this low quality vehicle.

A pathetic attempt to lure viewers by using Cape Cod as a backdrop for this pathetic excuse of a series that exaggerates and crams any and every inner city trashy debasement hackneyed cliche imaginable. An insult to the LBGQ community as well.
