Here Come the Habibs–Season 1, Episode 6–The Brangelina of Bayview Road

The finale of Here Come the Habibs’ first season was a bit of a mixed bag for me, in particular with the writing and performances. The writing was tight–the continuity of the Anzaclava and party terrorist subplots was seamlessly maintained, with the latter being concluded nicely. It’s a shame the Anzaclava didn’t take off, however I felt this plot wasn’t

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 8

Well this episode was a bombshell. I’m yet to decide whether I’m being positive or negative. I liked the Lewis and Heather subplot. With the sell of the pub and the mysterious end of his & Justin’s handyman business, Lewis does need some sort of career focus. Being a teacher’s aide suits him, despite his lack of patience sometimes and

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 7

This episode wasn’t the best. This is the only episode in the season to start in media res, I appreciated the writers shifting away from this technique as I felt that they were relying on it too much to tell their stories, especially in the first two seasons. I liked the choice to have the episode revolve around Angie’s birthday

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 6

In contrast to the previous episode, this episode was solid. The episode’s MVPs were definitely Kane and Alex. Kane for projecting his own bullying past and issues on to Finn to the point where he lost his mind and organised a fight between Finn and Mason was played brilliantly. Although I definitely don’t condone his behaviour, it was nice to

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 5

This episode was a bit of a hit-and-miss for me. Kane has always been an obsessive and worry-filled character, so obsessing about the pregnancy and crossing personal boundaries with Gemma and Lewis wasn’t that surprising. It was only a matter of time before he would be called out for it and especially by Lewis. I did enjoy Julia Morris’ performance

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 4

This episode was all about the kids. Typical luck that when Abi decides that she has finished having children and that she’s going to be a surrogate, that she discovers that she’s pregnant. I felt, like Kane, that Abi’s pregnancy takes away from the plot of Kane, Alex and Eve’s surrogacy plans and I don’t understand why another child for

Here Come the Habibs–Season 1, Episode 5–Party Habibs Style

I found this episode to be very funny. One joke that wasn’t funny was the party terrorist, seriously enough already! That being said, the joke redeemed itself a little by having Elias pointing out the offensive and troublesome nature of the joke. I quite enjoyed the use of the party as a plot technique and felt that it was done

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 3

Well this episode finally addressed Ned’s absence. I knew prior to the season beginning that Lincoln Lewis wouldn’t be returning to House Husbands (he confirmed it on Twitter), therefore I knew his absence would be eventually explained. The explanation for his absence was absolutely terrible and out of character. While killing him off was too drastic, having him run off
