I’m going to continue reviewing Bite Club character by character. Case of the week—The episode kicks off with the case of the week by immediately showing the viewers the dead body of Simon Keynes floating in a pool. The murder weapon, a bloody rock, along with Simon’s phone are found straight away and the team go from there. Zoe and
Read moreI’ve decided to keep writing these reviews character by character. Matt and Charlie—I’m starting the review with them due to Nicole da Silva’s departure. The episode and their subplot kicks off with Ivy trying to hitchhike out of Whyhope only for Darren to stop and arrest her for stealing a marijuana plant and return her to Matt and Charlie. As
Read moreLike with last week’s review, I will be writing this one character by character. Zoe, Dan and Pia—This episode kicks off with Amber and Zoe swimming together with Dan and Pia (from the aquarium in the last episode who was recommending immersion therapy to Amber and Dan) watching them. When Pia is introduced to Zoe, clearly she is jealous, but
Read moreAs I watching this episode, I felt it was best to do the review of it character by character. Zoe and Dan—Zoe and Dan are investigating the rape and murder of Chelsea Willis, a woman who was set upon while on her evening jog. The case was interesting in more ways than one—both of the previous victims, Charmaine and Yuki,
Read moreThis episode marked a major improvement over the previous two episodes. In my review of last week’s episode, I stated that Stephen is appearing to be an inconsistent character. This episode focuses mostly on Stephen, which provided the perfect opportunity for character development, which the writers certainly didn’t waste. The episode kicks off with Stephen in a session with Kristof
Read moreIn all honesty, this episode was a let down. In my review of the pilot, I said that the case of the week was a little too boring as the perp was obvious. This week’s case—-a man (Seth) being followed home after a night out and being stabbed to death—-wasn’t as obvious, but unfortunately when the murderer was revealed, so
Read moreIn my blog post on this year’s TV Week‘s Previews issue, I quoted from it that Bite Club “will revolve around two detectives who fall victim to a shark attack, they survive but have to deal with massive psychological repercussions, and later work together to hunt down a serial killer.” Based on this premise, or rather the summary of it,
Read moreLike with the previous reviews, I’ll be going character by character. Ken, Darren and Betty—The most standout aspect of this episode was finally having a somewhat major focus on the supporting characters. Ken’s jealously of Darren as he was appearing to be flirting with Mia was hilarious and showed some great character development. While I wasn’t surprised that Darren was
Read moreThis episode was an interesting one as there were many interactions that haven’t happened before. The gang’s idea for this week is to take the money from the kid’s rides at the mall rather than the vending machines, by sneaking in through a dumpster ala Trojan Horse style and disguising themselves as cleaners. The logic behind their idea is that
Read moreIn my last review, I pointed out that Trans didn’t appear and I was worried that she was going to be written out. With this episode, I happily ate my words as not only did she reappear but she was at the centre of the episode. Steve’s idea for this week was a pop up nightclub in Trans’ pork roll
