Loveday Writing

I thought the season 2 premiere was completely different, this one has done a complete 180. This season is set a year after the events of season’s 2 finale and many changes have taken place. Justin and Lewis have a handyman business together, Mark is launching his own marketing company, Mark and Abi have a six-month old baby girl, the

This season finale was good but I wouldn’t say it was as good as the first. I think it was partly because it didn’t feel like a finale, sure it did its job of wrapping up the season’s plots and providing opportunities for the third, however it didn’t stand out like a finale should. I felt it was a bit

This episode was filled with tension and in a good way. It was only a matter of time before Dimity’s husband, Simon, found out about her affair with Justin. Of course it would only happen when it was over, it’s better writing. The tension between Simon and the main men was played out very well and of course it was

I’m glad to see the writing of the previous episode didn’t affect the writing of this one. I liked the exploration of the effect of high school bullying well into adulthood in Kane and Derek.

I think this episode was one of the best in the season. The reason for this was due to the teamwork between the guys, between the girls, the humour and the exploration of Dimity, who up until this episode, was quite an irritating character. She was obviously going to serve a purpose of some sort and now that purpose has

Just passed the halfway point and this episode is the first in the second season to start in media res. I’m happy about this because I felt they were too dependent on it as a writing technique throughout the first season. The episode started with Gemma waking up in bed with Damo and then going back three days earlier. Having

This episode was all about everyone dealing with the grief of losing Nicola. Nicola’s funeral was understated which I thought was a good choice, right up until Justin condemned it. I think his reaction was unrealistic but that could be easily written off as grief. I personally felt the way that her death was explained to all of the kids
