How is it possible to be so stupid? Kind of, like, kind of, how, like? I'm tired of watching movies where people like this idiot are presented like some kind of victims. She is not a victim, she is a drug trafficker and she should rot in prison for many years. She committed a crime, because she wanted fast money. She knew exactly what she was doing. The excuse is "i was on lsd and they used me" well, why were you on lsd? Nobody used you. You are just stupid and you should not be free. She doesn't know where Peru is, she thinks it's in Spain?! Seriously.. it's okay to make movies like this just so we can see what idiotic creatures live amongst us, just please don't make them look like victims.

A typical illiterate young girl ,dime a dozen ,who has a really hard time not including "kind of" in every single sentence ,who uses " youS" ,who has no idea where Lima is or even Peru. She belongs to this generation of irresponsible people and her involvement in this and her pregnancy attest to that . It is really a shame that such people can be released from prison after such a short time ,to go on destroying other people's lives . Such people who have absolutely nothing to offer to themselves or society should be made to rot in prison so that they will not be the reason for the deaths of young people.

Okay, first of; it is always easier to talk about someone Else, than one self, and quite a few comments here, are doing exactly that. (Talking about others) But, must we just forget that this is a 19 year old irish Girl, who was bored to death in Ireland? Had 9 siblings, and just didnt have much to do there, she was probably losing her mind because of the boredness. Does that justify her trying to smuggle drugs? Absolutely not. But keeping in mind, she is a Young woman first of all, not even talking that she is irish from the coubtryside, But we still have to give her the benefit of doubt. . People deserve second chances. . And to me this Young woman sounded very honest and trustworthy, she really sounded like she regreted everything even early on. Har this been a 35 year old lady, the story would have been different. :) had this been a guy, the story would have been much much worse. . So yes, the feminine sector of the whole thing, absolutely is there. She was granted freedom not only because she was very sincere and Young, But probably also because she was a Young woman. Women just go through life easier, more often than men. That is just a fact. . I Can bet you, there are at least 400 europeans who did much less in Peru, who are doing much worse sentences. So in that case, no, i dont like that Netflix is spewing this feminine agenda out there, portraying her as some hero that she survived prison, after she tried to smuggle 11 Kgs and lied afterwards. Even the music was a bit too much, like come ooon. . But i believed her though, she did do that as it was Said, it is just that Netflix kinda made it Sound like she was the hero in all this.

OMG. Honestly, this is just horribly done. So many drone shots, panning of scenery, the predictable slow motion shots, dramatic music, all serving a pretty boring depiction of what actually happened. Nothing really builds the desire to care about the main characters. Besides some pictures that prove Michaella used to be a little girl, there just isn't enough background or painting of her family history, to draw any apathy from us at all. When I think about this whole series, I hate it more and more. The main framework is this (and I know you'll be shocked, but there it is): alcohol-induced decisions lead to consequences and some of those really suck. Of course, they're consequences that she mostly escapes.

Wow!!! This was the funniest and most moving documentary I've ever seen. It's amazing that she learned from her own mistakes and became a mother!!! A very strong woman. Instead of being depressed in prison, she sought a way out, she said. What a smart woman. I loved this woman's self-confidence. She told her own life story as if she were telling a story, and she was sincere. I was never bored while watching it. It deserves all 10 stars. Change is in your hands!!! Although some people are angry with her, she has changed now. Not the old Michaella McCollum. She learned from her mistakes. Don't let your future personality be affected by the past, Everyone makes mistakes...

A ridicoulous story with a typical girl that thinks everything is about her needs. Money, drugs and ego-decisions. All serie is about how she blame others and how she "got tricked into it". She takes no own responsibility. Its just blaming other as usual from this type of girl. Men take the blame when they do things but girls seems to not even understand that they have a responsibility in life! Its irritating to see, bcs its about how she blame others (always men) at least once EVERY 5 minutes through the whole series. As what I can see its just a hate-campain against men. Ots both sad and irrritating to see. I think it is how girls are raised by their parents rhis days. They learn from early years how good girls are and how all bad thoings comes from men. This type of hate-campain should be stopped from media and it ALL her own fault what SHE did as an adult.

As "High" (2021 release from the UK; 4 episodes of about 30 min each) opens, it is "15 August 2013, Lima, Peru" and the voiceover says "this is me, getting arrested for drug smuggling". The "me" is Michaella McCullen, a woman from rural Northern Ireland. After a quick detour to her upbringing, McCullen is on a flight to Ibiza and we are at "43 days to the arrest"... At this point we are 10 min into Episode 1. Couple of comments: I love true crime, and I love documentaries. Accordingly I am an obvious target audience for releases like "High" and the many true crime documentaries out there. In and of itself, this could be an intriguing story: how does a young woman from rural Northern Ireland end up becoming a drug mule in a matter of just weeks? Alas, this mini-series does not do justice to the underlying premise. Why? Because the mini-series relies far too extensively on "reenactments" rather than actual archive footage. In fact, but for the opening minute or so (when we see footage of the arrest in Lima), the entirety of Episode 1 consists of reenactments and talking heads (including Michaella herself). I[m sorry but that is a big problem for me, and as a result I was flat-out turned off by the end of Episode 2 and I quit, even thought the remainder 3 episodes are only a combine 90 min. Last but not least, this mini-series is NOT titled, as shown here in IMDb, "High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule". Per the mini-series opening credits, it is simply titled "High", nothing more, nothing less. "High" premiered in the UK in summer of 2021, and then it starred streaming on Netflix just a few days ago. I really can't recommend this to anyone in good conscience. Of course you don't need to take my word for it, so check it out and draw your own conclusion.

Pure and simple, this is a redemption story. If you didn't do anything STUPID when you were young perhaps you haven't really been living. This lady screwed up big time, realized it, paid the price and has successfully turned her life around. She worked very hard to do these things, including learning a new language and advocating for herself in a difficult situation to gain an early release from prison and then turned around to help others. When I was 17 I rolled my car in a blackout. I haven't had a drink for over 32 years and in the meantime developed medical devices that saved and/or improved the lives of millions of people (literally). I wonder how many of these people believe that everyone deserves a second chance.

What you learn from this overlong documentary is never to donate money for legal assistance of chicks who claim they were coerced into smuggling drugs. This sordid tale can be summarized in a couple of paragraphs and yet Netflix made four episodes out of it... Michaella - or whatever her name is - was a Northern Ireland runaway who spent a crazy summer as a "hostess" in Ibiza and was easily convinced by boyfriend Davey to smuggle drugs from Spain. Drunk and high after a wild night, our heroine leaves Ibiza for Majorca with a large suitcase packed only with a couple of bikinis. In Majorca she learns she actually must fly to Lima with another girl and that doesn't worry her a bit because she doesn't even know where Lima is! In Peru she's caught at customs with her suitcase filled with her bikinis and 12 kilos of dope. She tells a bunch of lies to the police, such as she was forced at gun point by bad guys to turn into a mule and her story makes headlines back home, where foolish - albeit kind-hearted - people collect money for her defense. She gets a light sentence of 6 years and spend only 3 in prison where - she tells the audience - she turned into a better person. Not difficult, considering how she started (drug smuggler, lier, etc...). Eventually, she has enough money to get lip filler and a total makeover to gracefully guide the audience through her mistakes and redemption. Let's s rejoice, but most of all remember NOT to donate money...
