This week’s episode was unique as Steve’s idea didn’t come to him straight away and was pretty much handed to him on a silver platter or rather a rare black and gold bowl. The episode kicked off with the gang having a garage sale to try and make money, interestingly it was a legitimate way to make some money but
Read moreI was very critical of last week’s episode as I felt the writers dropped the ball, with this week’s episode I felt the writers got back on track with the original plan for this season. For this episode, I’ll be doing a character by character review. Meryl—This week the promo revolved around Meryl and Carlito apparently dating. Of course they
Read moreThis 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

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
Read moreStreet Smart was described in TV Week‘s previews issue as a “hilarious and entertaining look at a team of bumbling crims who dream of fast cars, attractive women and getting rich quick.” I feel like the pilot lived up to most of this description. When I read that Street Smart is the brainchild of Here Come the Habibs co-creators, Tahir
Read moreThe purpose of a season finale is to conclude the season’s story arcs and set up potential new ones for the next season…Harrow certainly achieved this effortlessly. 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. Most of the episode is set in the nursing home as Harrow and Jack conduct their investigation, from making observations on Stan’s
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
