The job of a season premiere is to establish new story arcs for the season, which could include but not be limited to possible story arcs set up in the previous season’s finale. I felt that this premiere only partially did the job. As it has been over a year since the season 3 finale aired, I had to re-read
Read moreAs well as reviewing the parent series, I decided to review the new web series of Playing For Keeps, Playing For Keeps: Sidelines. The Ten Play website states that “a woman’s car is her own personal haven. We make phone calls, we sing along (albeit often off key) to the radio, we check in with ourselves, and most importantly, there’s

I went through my blog posts on the TV Week Previews editions for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 to see what new shows I ended up reviewing and what shows I didn’t. The majority of new shows that I blogged about that I said I’d review, I

Kath, Maddy, Kendall and Liam—The main focus of about two-thirds of the finale was about dealing with Liam. I was happy to see
Read moreWe’ve reached the penultimate episode of the second season and one thing this episode didn’t lack was drama as everything is reaching a head. Connor, Tahlia, Kath, Brian and Liam—I thought I would start with them as the episode revolved around them.

It’s made clear pretty quickly that Tahlia has issues with her mother and that they haven’t seen or spoken to each other in quite some time, and Tahlia thinks Narelle wants
Read moreTahlia–I felt it was best to start my character-by-character review of this episode by focusing on the star character. This episode revolves around the nude photo scandal, which happened due to Connor losing his phone and not deleting the photos remotely quickly enough. The scandal is first bought to life when Rusty and Liam notice the boys fighting over a
