Jamie describes the whole family situation to Billie as “a bit of a rollercoaster”, to me that quote sums up the whole episode. This episode kicks off on an emotional note with Billie breaking down over the shock of being told that her DNA matched Jack’s and that she is a Norton. The question that Billie keeps asking herself is
Read moreThis episode was a little flat for me. The pilot established the characters and circumstances, as it should, however the second episode is supposed to set things into motion, it did this, however it didn’t seem to contain any enthusiasm in its execution. The beginning of the episode emphasised how much of an outsider Billie is in the family, as
Read moreThis episode wasn’t as action packed as last week’s, in fact I’d describe as being more about brains than brawn. This episode picks up where the last episode left off, with Hyde and Claire taking Jamil into the police station for questioning. I liked the contrast between Hyde’s and Claire’s methods of interrogation, with the latter actually getting answers with
Read moreTo me this episode was emotional, not for me, but for the characters. We get off to a fast-paced, dramatic start, going back and forth between the two major plots–Hugh’s IED-trapped patient, Jai, and Charlie’s ectopic pregnancy. The sequence with Hugh trying to rescue and treat his patient in the middle of a minefield was equal parts frustrating and intense.
Read moreThis episode for me was a definite improvement from last week, I’m hoping this rollercoaster ride of great and mediocre episodes stops at some point and some consistency comes along. In my review of last week’s episode, I said I could sum up the episodes in one word, this episode I can sum up in three–melodramatic and mundane. I thought
Read moreSo far, I can sum up each episode in one word. Pilot–flat, episode two–spectacular, episode 3–humorous. This episode wasn’t as spectacular as last week’s, however it was definitely better than the pilot. I felt that this episode was more outside the box and that the characters were allowed to be human and show their humorous and light hearted qualities. I
Read moreIn my review of the pilot, I stated that the premise of the show felt cliche and the pilot was flat overall. This episode completely took care of those problems. The episode got off to an unconventional but humorous start with Hugh consulting with one of his city friends about a heart surgery over a video call and subsequently giving
Read moreThis episode did its job as Doctor Doctor‘s pilot–it established the show’s premise, its characters and a few future plots. I felt that the premise of an arrogant city man who screws up and is forced to go home to his family to live out the consequences, was cliche. However Rodger Corser portrays Dr Hugh Knight perfectly, especially with his
Read moreI didn’t know what to expect from Hyde & Seek, my impression from the trailer was that Detective Gary Hyde (Matt Nable) was corrupt. The trailer is obviously meant to mislead and they did with Hyde, however it didn’t mislead on how much of a thriller Hyde & Seek would be. The action is set off within the first five
Read moreI didn’t know what to expect from The Secret Daughter, other than what I saw in the trailers. The premiere episode could have been better, however overall it didn’t disappoint. I’ve always found Jessica Mauboy fabulous, however I do question whether her incredible singing abilities are relied on too much in her acting gigs. I’d rather see more of her
