If your binge list is looking a bit dry, let us fix that: Hightown is the crime drama you didn’t know you needed, with a lead who’s chaotic, queer, and absolutely carrying the show.
What’s Hightown About?
Set in Provincetown, Massachusetts, Hightown follows Jackie Quiñones (Monica Raymund), a fisheries agent with a serious drinking problem and a talent for getting herself into trouble. When she finds a dead body on the beach, she’s dragged into Cape Cod’s opioid underworld. Between chasing down dealers, dodgy cops, and her own demons, Jackie’s life is one big messy car crash you can’t look away from.
Why You’ll Love It
- Lesbian lead who’s flawed, funny, and a complete disaster – finally, some queer rep that isn’t sugar-coated.
- Crime drama that’s gritty but not boring.
- Three full seasons, so you won’t be left hanging.
Where to Watch Hightown
- UK: Streaming now on NOW TV
- US: All three seasons just landed on Netflix (and yes, it’s already in the Top 10)
- Australia: Watch it on Stan

Messy lesbians, crime drama, and beach-town chaos. If that’s not enough to get you pressing play, we don’t know what is.
