This episode fell a little flat for me. While I’m glad that it wasn’t overly melodramatic, despite the subject matter, and the writing was mostly solid, I felt that this episode like last week’s, was a filler to build up major story arcs and later episodes. I felt that the ashes subplot was a little cliche–losing the ashes, the battle
Read moreThis episode was purely about Mark’s parents visiting to build up to the impending reveal that Mark is apparently adopted or not his “father”, Bernie’s, son. Although the reveal didn’t happen in this episode, thanks to the ads, we know it’s coming. I wasn’t really sympathetic towards Liz, although I feel she was the most honest and interesting character in
Read moreSo the first episode of Season 5 of House Husbands just aired, this means that the show has been on the air for five years. So how do I feel about this episode, as well as how House Husbands has evolved over the last five years? To be honest, I feel a little mixed. I’m a little disappointed that the
Read moreI was eagerly looking forward to buying TV Week’s Extra magazine as it was a special edition of previews of 2017 TV shows. I was especially eager to read previews on the shows I’ve been reviewing on this site: Doctor Doctor, Here Come the Habibs, House Husbands, Hyde & Seek, Love Child, The Secret Daughter, and The Wrong Girl. In
Read moreTV Week‘s current issue provides what I call “mini” previews of the Aussie shows–new, young and old–that will be airing this year. The majority of the shows I review on here, which I also love, were featured in this issue. I feel that writing about my verdict on these previews is a fitting first post for 2017 on this site.
Read moreI found this season finale interesting as Hyde & Seek‘s future remains to be seen. The last season finale I saw where the show’s future was uncertain was the third season of Love Child back in August. Love Child‘s finale managed to wrap up the season’s story arcs and establish new ones, in case they were renewed for another season.
Read moreI 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
