Synopsis

Atlantis High is a teen comedy TV show, shot in New Zealand in 2001. The plot revolves around 16-year-old Giles Gordon, who has just moved to Sunset Cove, "a beautiful coastal surfing town where the sun is always shining, the people are all beautiful and everything is perfect... or so it seems." He enrolls in Atlantis High School, where he soon discovers that Sunset Cove is unlike any town he's ever seen: populated by double-agents, aliens and high school students with blue hair and pointy ears, its inhabitants are eccentric lunatics who at times turn into superheroes or other whimsical figures. Atlantis High both parodies soap operas and pays homage to spoof television.

Reviews

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Danny After discovering The Tribe on one of my upper cable channels, I stumbled upon Atlantis High and quickly became addicted and tender towards this bizarre and utterly charming show. Unlike Tribe or most other teen dramas (read: Saved by the Bell), it doesn't focus on morals or underlying melodrama, instead relying on X-Files conventions with everything from aliens, ninjas, superheroes, conspiracies, cross dressers, and prophecies, to entertain the viewer and give clichés a new spin.The characters are so different and offbeat, it's sincerely hard not to fall for them; they're each given their chance to shine. From the geek getting the suave secret agent to the two oddballs who hit it off, the show sees nothing as reality, and prefers to be charming rather than maudlin. The episodes themselves lampoon anything they can, and you'll see weddings one day and an assassin duel the next, with a riff on ER the day after. It's all exceedingly random, and is never bellow grin-worthy.Like Raymond Thompson's other famous TV show, The Tribe, you find overkill of recycled music and footage. "Mr. Quentin" is in every episode, but to see him actually interact with a character or deliver a line of dialogue is a rarity. The reused footage of an owl and the main in the pink wig, picking up a phone are also gems. In a few words, this show makes a quality drinking game.The sad thing, tho, is that this series was cancelled and left on a cliffhanger. Who took Atlantis? What will happen to Giles and the gang? Alas, we may never know. Still, the experience of "Atlantis High" can't be spoiled, as it isn't so much about where it's going as figuring out just what's going on in the first place. Watch and get hooked.
Slopmaster4001 I have to admit I accidentally found this show one day after getting off of work early and was hooked instantly. This show is way to bizarre for the average viewer but fits me like a three fingered glove. Now I have only seen two episodes and have no clue what's really going on but that doesn't really matter. Its strange and as a fan of Lexx my void has been filled so here's hoping they find the lost city.
helizara One of the best 'children's' dramas ever. Wonderful use of the surreal and bizarre with hysterical one-liners and the weirdest plots you ever saw, in mainstream TV. Watch it if you ever get a chance, it leaves your 'Sabrina's quaking in it's wake
lisa beach casting Never in my life have i seen a television show so bad since grosse pointe was taken off air.The story lines and acting in this wannaby comedy are appauling,at least the grosse point actors could act these people just sort of stand there reading lines with no sence of the emotional presence they should be bringing to the screen. I hope noone in this show has dreams of coming to hollywood without alot formal training at least,it just seems like the makers of the show plucked people from obscurity to try to act on their show.Not even one single cast member has even an ounce of even natural talent(i think laura wilson and Lee donahue deserve a special mention for their Embarassing performances) its like survivor for the networks soap search or something.I felt like with so alot of quality shows coming out of New zealand and Australia lately that this was a complete mis-hit. prehaps a bigger talent search is in order.
