After a season-and-a-half, House Husbands has killed a character off to ensure their status as a drama. When the episode was first being promoted prior to going to air, there was the heavy emphasis and foreshadowing of one of the characters dying. I was driving myself crazy with an inner debate of who it would be, that being said it
Read moreThis episode was a strong one, but its strength was subtle. I personally found the P&C story very amusing, it was over-the-top but that was obviously a deliberate choice. I found having Lewis become the P&C President literally in his sleep the best part of all and an unexpected way to end the story–how much would it annoy Dimity to
Read moreThis episode explored the issue of male-female friendship. The male-female friendship debate was well played out with tension and good points during the tense dinner scene.

Read moreThis episode was all about discoveries. There was the discovery of new characters with Gemma’s childhood friend, Damo (Craig McLachlan), who is also the son of her father’s mistress and Ryan, Phoebe’s love interest. Damo is clearly around to cause trouble for Gemma and Lewis. I personally felt that the scene of them riding their BMX bikes was a little
Read moreI personally felt this episode was a little weak. I felt the dynamic between Gemma and her father was cliched and fell flat, almost forced.

This is a compliment rather than an insult, the first season premiere was filled with over-the-top drama and negativity in regards to Justin and Nicola. This premiere has turned the characters and the House Husbands world in general completely on its head and I

Read moreThis episode served its purpose as a season finale–wrapping up the first season’s plots and subsequently opening the door for the second season. I’m more than happy that the Rodney & Nicola relationship finally ended, not to mention that Nicola finally if not slowly saw Rodney for who he really is. The fact that it was now made obvious by
