This week’s episode pretty much followed the formula it established last week—-Steve instantly comes up with an idea that’s bound to fail, he and his Street Smart gang get to work fast, the failure happens and they’re back at square one. This week’s idea—-youth cream. I felt that the youth cream idea was a more realistic goal and a less
Read moreIn all honesty, I made my mind up about this episode about halfway through, I wasn’t a fan and the writers have dropped the ball and I’ll tell you why. First and foremost is the reveal that Hugh’s ex-wife, Harriet (Genevieve Hegney), is pregnant with his child. When the promos said this would be the biggest baby drama they really
Read moreAlthough I don’t do it very often, I do like doing my reviews character by character. When I do it, it’s usually because there was so much that happened in an episode, the easiest way to review it all is to break it down character by character. I felt that this episode was a little slow moving at first but
Read moreWell this season premiere got off to an intense start with the main focus being on Jim’s death and a minor focus on Hugh’s ending probation. As the premiere was so intense and there’s a lot to cover, I’m going to do this review character by character. Meryl and Hayley—Meryl and Hayley’s interactions in this episode were the most intense

The episode kicks off with the case of the week in a way unique to Harrow. We see Tom (Joel Tobeck) walking around an office, looking out the window and watching a police
Read moreSo we’ve reached the penultimate episode of Harrow‘s first season. The case of the week focuses on Stan Wagner, an elderly man from the Czech Republic, who is smothered to death in the nursing home he lives in.

Read moreAs it’s the season finale, this episode kicked off with a Sando’s ad, only Tony’s version for a current ad. The contrast between the Sando’s ads from the 90s and Tony’s ad and plans for Sando’s now and in the future were clear as day. Obviously the board weren’t going for it and before they could tell him this, Sando
Read moreAgain the episode kicks off with a 90s-ish Sando’s ad, this time focusing on dodgy furniture contracts. This episode mainly focuses on Don and Sando as they are locked in Don’s “man cave” for most of it, both of them needing to escape as they have important events to attend–Don, his first pub gig, and Sando, the board meeting. While

The episode kicks off again with a 90s-ish ad establishing the episode’s theme–hypnotism.
