I was interested in seeing how the finale would play out, especially with the highly emotional end of the previous episode. It was obvious that Joey’s death was going to be investigated, especially by Tugger. I really felt for her as she was struggling between being a dutiful police officer and a grieving girlfriend, which highlights how great Lucy Durack’s
Read moreI wondered what the finale would be like after Billie was told that she’s not a Norton. I liked the focus on Harriet and her intentions behind her actions being revealed to both Billie and the viewers. I liked the display of evolution in their relationship as Billie was the only one who knew where to find her and gave
Read moreIn all honesty, for a finale, this episode was a little disappointing. The first third of the episode is spent on the birth of Pete and Meredith’s baby. I felt that the birth scenes were realistic without being overly graphic, which I appreciated. I also enjoyed finding out why Lily ended up looking like she had been through the wringer
Read moreThis episode didn’t have the drama I hoped it would, until the last two minutes. This episode was mostly about Billie’s court case. Ryan O’Kane played the role of the ridiculously bad solicitor rather convincingly, however what I liked most was Gus’ role in the subplot. For the first time Gus shows some ironic competency with the law or rather
Read moreI felt that this episode is a bit of a filler to lead into the remaining two episodes. My reasons for this are due to the episode revolving around Jack’s funeral, the arrival of Layla, the return of Gus, the media catching on to Billie’s appearance in the Norton family and Bruno’s discovery of where Billie is. All of these
Read moreIn this episode a huge jigsaw puzzle piece in the mystery was revealed. We finally got to see more of Claudia in this episode, which I have called for in my previous reviews due to Furness’ acting prowess. I found it interesting that Hyde & Claire chose to meet her at a cemetery to talk about Jackie, even more so
Read moreI feel like this season is supposed to be split into two halves and that this episode is the start of the second half. This episode explored the aftermath of Malik’s killing. The office celebrates their apparent victory and Hyde & Claire have been told to take time off. Claire’s further exploration on the case based on her gut instinct
Read moreFor a penultimate episode, I felt this episode was done rather well. Again we are given more of an insight into Lily’s new job and the toll that it’s taking on her. This episode shows the realities of working long hours and how a person’s social life can suffer as a result, which I think is something we can all
Read moreThis episode dealt with all kinds of ramifications. I’m not going to complain about the use of in media res, as I’ve done this enough, that being said I found it hilarious that it focused on Lily being stuck in the closet by a coat hanger and her hair. The morning after awkwardness was played out realistically, especially with Simone
Read moreI delivered my verdict on this episode on Twitter–brilliant and absolutely heart shattering. Ajax has exiled himself from his family after being told that Hugh is his father. I felt that the ramifications of this revelation weren’t explored fully, it almost felt brushed off and everyone moved on too quickly, with the biggest ramification being public humiliation. Considering the build
