So in this episode we discover that some of the characters aren’t who they appear to be. With the A story, we have the fiasco of leaked footage of Eric sexually harassing Erica on air years ago. While Eric has been created as unlikeable with his clearly sexist and old-fashioned opinions, in this episode he becomes a more likeable character
Read moreI felt that this episode was a bit of a filler or rather a springboard for the remainder of the season. The main focus of this episode was Toke clearly wanting to propose to Penny. Ironically this was a clear sign that the relationship was clearly going to end as they have barely had much of a relationship due to
Read moreThis episode introduced two new characters and explored the ramifications of the electoral fraud. The introduction of Penny’s solicitor sister, Celia (Ella Scott Lynch), provided a breath of fresh air for the season. Her interactions with Penny at the beginning of the episode provided some one-liner gold and gave a nice insight into their relationship, however I felt her disposition

The episode starts with Lily finding her grandmother’s ring in Jack’s pocket and the panic kicks off from there, going back in time 24 hours.

Simone’s efforts to find a girlfriend for Vincent, and Lily and Pete’s fight over using the
Read moreThis episode felt completely different to the previous two and I think it was due to the amount of character development. This episode provided major character development with Hayley and Charlie. With Hayley we learn that she was adopted like Ajax, meet her parents, and see where her religious beliefs and pressures come from. With Charlie, we learn that she

The season finale’s job is to conclude the season’s story arcs and set up potential new arcs for the next season. The season premiere’s job is to commence new story arcs for the new season, and to follow up on the potential plots set up
Read moreNow that the premiere has come and gone, the season can really get underway. The A story focusing on Ajax and Hayley was incredibly sweet and touching, as well as hilarious. Hayley struggling with her conflict between her religious beliefs and human desires was realistic, funny and true to her character. Both hers’ and Ajax’s reactions to their “first time”
