Our take
To the Max is a Netflix drama about friends pushing into wingsuit BASE jumping and the cost of chasing the ultimate thrill. Vertigo-inducing cliff jumps, close-call accidents, drunk toasts, a heroin metaphor and frequent f-word outbursts during stunts share the screen. Loss and relationship strain sit beside the spectacle. Best for older teens who grasp real-world stunt danger, not for kids who might copy extreme sports.
Uplifting themes
Friendship, passion and facing fear together are what anchor the drama Teammates push each other toward greatness, and toward recklessness too
Story (may spoil tone)
