So after much promotion, Sisters finally premiered last night. The job of a pilot is to establish a show’s premise and characters and set up story arcs for the season. This pilot managed to accomplish this beautifully. What I didn’t expect was the chapter-like introduction to the three sisters: Julia (Maria Angelico), Roxy (Lucy Durack) and Edie (Antonia Prebble). It
Read moreWhile it’s clear as day that the final two episodes of the second season of The Wrong Girl were aired on the same night so Sisters could premiere tomorrow, since they were aired at once I’m going to review both episodes in this singular post. I felt that episode 9 wasn’t that memorable however it was a good lead into
Read moreTo review this season’s finale, I read my review of last season’s finale to give me something to go off. For those that don’t remember, last season’s finale focused on Tugger’s investigation into Joey’s death, Penny leaving for a new job, Matt leaving Charlie, Meryl campaigning to become Whyhope’s mayor, Nora replacing Penny, and Hugh and Penny almost declaring they
Read moreIn all honesty this episode wasn’t particularly memorable, it was clearly a filler to lead into the upcoming penultimate and finale episodes. In the opening seconds I thought that myself and the other viewers were experiencing something rare—-the episode picking up where it left off last week or starting in real time. However it was not meant to be, with
Read moreWell this episode was a rollercoaster. I found the A story of Hugh’s “Las Vegas” wife, Harriet (Genevieve Hegney), coming to Whyhope was a great distraction from the kidney transplant. However I also felt it was another forced spanner in the works for Hugh and Penny’s “non-relationship”. I felt absolutely frustrated when Hugh gave into temptation with Harriet, in fact
Read moreWell what we or I thought was inevitable finally happened…Lily and Jack’s relationship has ended. While the writers have hinted at the incompatibility between Lily and Jack and the cracks in their relationship throughout the season, they have done this slowly and with subtlety, but in this episode they completely abandoned this writing technique, choosing to bring the relationship down
Read moreThis episode managed to contain a lot of drama and subtlety. The A story was Jim’s dialysis and need for a new kidney. Jim has another collapse at the wheel and is taken to hospital where it is eventually revealed that he has been avoiding dialysis and now needs a new kidney fast. I liked the realistic moments of worry
Read moreSo it turns out Jack and Lily are engaged. This episode starts with its near ending and then goes back 30 hours. The gold Logie nominations have come through at the office—Erica and Jack were nominated, while Eric and Nikki were not—which doesn’t surprise me, not to mention Erica’s nomination is a nice dose of karma for Eric and the
Read moreThis episode had a sweet vibe but ended in a sad way. For once, Penny and Hugh didn’t dominate the episode, don’t get me wrong, I love them to pieces but it’s always refreshing to have the main players in the background every once in a while. With this episode, Hayley, Ajax and Meryl were front and centre with the
Read moreSo Jack and Lily are engaged…or they seem to be. But I’ll get to that. Four weeks have passed since Jack left to go on the road with Gillian. Jack comes back due to a break from filming and is acting suspiciously. Of course, Lily and the viewers jump to the cliche conclusion that Jack and Gillian have hooked up
