History Series / HeartbreakHigh2022

The show premiered on 14 September 2022 and was renewed for a 2nd season on October 19, 2022.

* TakeThat:
** After Quinni comes out as autistic to Sasha, the latter is surprised she couldn't tell, citing that Quinni is "really emotionally intelligent." [[note]]A mildly ableist sentiment in this context, as it implies that Quinni should not be capable of emotional intelligence on account of her autism.[[/note]] In response, Quinni snarkily refers to Sasha as "Music/{{Sia}}", a jab at the singer's controversial film ''Film/Music2021'', which was criticized by many autistic creators (including Quinni's actress Chloe Hayden) for its patronizing and disrespectful depiction of autism.

''Heartbreak High'' is a 2022 Australian drama television series created for Netflix, by Hannah Carroll Chapman. It is a reboot of the original series of the same name created by Ben Gannon and Michael Jenkins that ran from 1994 to 1999 on Creator/NetworkTen and Creator/TheABC.

* FireForgedFriends: In the beginning when Amerie and Harper are still in a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship, they are above Darren and Quinni on the school social hierarchy. But after their estrangement and Amerie becoming the school pariah, Darren and Quinni empathize with her outcast status and befriend her and by the end she's as loyal and protective to them as she ever was to Harper.

* LoveTriangle: A particularly fickle one. Amerie likes Dusty, who hooks up with and ends up dating Harper. Amerie then develops feelings for Malakai, who [[spoiler:has a threesome with Harper and Dusty after a traumatizing brush with PoliceBrutality]]. Both couples break up, and [[spoiler:Amerie]] and [[spoiler:Dusty]] start expressing interest in each other, only for [[spoiler:Amerie]] to break it off when [[spoiler:she finds out Dusty spread a false rumour about Amerie being molested by Jojo]]. The season ends with [[spoiler:Amerie and Harper in a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship]] and some awkward ShipTease between [[spoiler:Amerie]] and [[spoiler:Malakai]].

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Amerie and Harper '''were''' this prior to their mysterious estrangement. [[spoiler:After TheReveal, they slowly start to return to this.]]

* WeUsedToBeFriends: The main thrust of series one is this. The mysterious and at times violent feud that erupted very suddenly between the previous RomanticTwoGirlFriendship between Amerie and Harper.

* CastFullOfGay: A majority of the main student cast are somewhere on the LGBTQIA spectrum. Darren is non-binary queer, Quinni and Sasha are lesbians, Missy is bisexual, Cash is [[spoiler:asexual queer]] and [[spoiler:Dusty and Malakai are revealed to at least be bi-curious if not full on bisexual]].

* GoodParents: Many of the kids parents are shown to be caring, three-dimensional people who do the best they can. In particular Amerie's mother, Darren's father and Quinni's [[HasTwoMommies two dads]].

** In Episode 1, Ca$h walks in late to SLTs, sits down, and makes awkward eye contact with Harper. [[spoiler:They're acknowledging her AttemptedRape by the eshays.]]

* SentimentalMusicCue: Averted; what initially seems like one of these turns out to be Amerie's own headphones. Her auditory self-pity is interrupted by bathos when she accidentally inhales a fly.

* UnwantedAssistance: Harper claims that [[spoiler: her threesome with Malakai]] came about because he was alone and she was trying to help him. Amerie is less than impressed with this reasoning.
