Plot: What’s it about?
The Mile High Club is an infamous achievement, but for the flight attendants that work for Fresh! Airlines, every flight seems to wind up Mile High. The airline employs young and attractive workers, from gorgeous ladies to handsome gentlemen, all of whom have a common interest or two. Even if the flight is in the middle of turbulence, these flight attendants have one thing on their minds and it isn’t the nearest exits. Marco (Tom Wisdom) is the newest member of the crew and while he thinks he knows the job, he has no idea what awaits him. Will (Adam Sinclair) has his eyes on him right away and while Marco isn’t gay, Will is determined to get a crack, regardless of what methods he needs to use. An old flame threatens the upcoming marriage of a beautiful stewardess, while the strict crew boss tries to keep everyone’s fun to a minimum. The service on board Fresh! Airlines is always first class, but the crew does their best work behind closed doors!
If you’re looking for more edge in your sex driven comedies, then Mile High is one ride you won’t want to miss. While some shows like Coupling have a lot of sexual talk, Mile High is constant sexual material. The characters are either having sex, trying to have sex, or thinking about how to have sex. The show is quite bold, even by current standards, with full frontal nudity of both genders and more than a few questionable situations. I think Mile High’s fearless approach to sex will delight some, especially those who prefer more base humor, while others will be shocked. I don’t mind all the sex and sex talk, but more time is spent on the sex than on the characters and their relationships, which isn’t good. This first season does lay some minor groundwork, but doesn’t provide as much depth as it should. Even so, the show is often humorous and sometimes hilarious, so if you don’t mind some out of control sexual content, Mile High is worth a look.
Video: How does it look?
The episodes are presented in full frame, as intended. The show looks great here, the bright and colorful visuals shine and I was quite impressed. The scenery looks terrific in this treatment, with rich greens and browns, while all hues look solid. The contrast is sharp, so black levels are accurate and no detail is lost. Speaking of detail, the print looks clean and the image has superb clarity, no real softness in the least. Great work from Koch here.
Audio: How does it sound?
This is a basic dialogue driven comedy, so the audio has no real duties outside of the show’s main element, dialogue. So the theme music sounds good and the basic sound effects come through, but the sole spotlight here shines down on the vocals. From from the innuendos to the moans of pleasure, all the vocal work is in excellent form here. The whispers even sound clear as a bell in this release, so you won’t miss a single one-liner.
Supplements: What are the extras?
