Connor, Tahlia, Brian and Kath—Now that the truth of Connor’s affair with Kath is out, now he and Tahlia have to deal with the fallout. The episode kicks off with them in therapy. Despite their best efforts to try the exercises the therapist recommends, Tahlia can’t help herself and asks Connor questions, where he reveals he only proposed to Tahlia
Read moreNow that the pilot has come and aired, establishing the premise and characters, the show can really get underway with their stories. The episode kicks off with a janitor being attacked by a mysterious black goo, which is almost Venom-like. After this, it switches to the sisters, who are debating how to handle the spirit board’s warning at the end
Read moreThis was the best episode of Playing for Keeps so far and I’ll tell you why as I review this episode character by character: Tahlia, Kath and Connor—I’m starting with them as the episode mostly revolved around them. Tahlia is planning hers and Connor’s engagement party and as usual, is trying to make as big and pretentious as possible. Meanwhile, Connor
Read moreI’m going to come out and say this straight away—I love the original Charmed series and wasn’t happy that it was being rebooted. I’m not really a fan of reboots in general, I think that if you have a talented cast and crew, you should try your hand at an original show instead of rebooting a classic show from decades
Read moreThis episode went to great lengths to provide a contrast in the relationships of the main players by kicking off with Connor & Tahlia and Brian & Kath waking up in bed together, and a flashback to Paige’s drunken antics after she got home from her night out in the previous episode, setting the smoke alarm off with her sausages

This episode breaks from the mould by Joseph and Tia breaking away from each other as he has Tia go
Read moreSince a lot happened in this episode, I’m going to be reviewing it character by character. Jessie and Rusty—The episode kicks off with Maddy going to see Jessie and discovering a positive pregnancy test in the trash. Although this isn’t touched on until later in the episode, the focus shifts to Rusty’s girlfriend, Carly, at Kath’s house during the next
Read moreThis is the episode everyone was waiting for, not because it means the end to the show but rather because Stephen is finally caught and arrested.
