Well this episode finally addressed Ned’s absence. I knew prior to the season beginning that Lincoln Lewis wouldn’t be returning to House Husbands (he confirmed it on Twitter), therefore I knew his absence would be eventually explained. The explanation for his absence was absolutely terrible and out of character. While killing him off was too drastic, having him run off
Read moreThis episode was a little average but better than the premiere. Kane chopping off his finger was a surprise. It was a surprise that the writers chose this to move the Eve storyline along and that they were that graphic with showing the amputated finger. Although it was a little quick, the transition between Eve and Kane being enemies to
Read moreWell, it seems the writers are taking two steps forward to be knocked three steps back. Another year has passed in the House Husbands world, which presents a couple of continuity problems, such as (by my count): Finn should be in high school, Angie should be five by now (especially according to her birth records indicating she was born in
Read moreThis was the first episode that I fully enjoyed. I fully enjoyed this episode due to the fact that the shift that I asked for in the previous review is finally happening. Rather than focusing primarily on cultural stereotypes and cliches, this episode focused on character development and building bonds. I quite enjoyed the interaction between Mariam and Jack, especially
Read moreThis episode was a little flat (yes even for this show), which isn’t a bad thing. There is clearly still a focus on the misconception of the Habibs’ as terrorists in Olivia’s eyes. I feel that this is getting a little old, especially since we are at the halfway point of the mini-series (unless it’s renewed), I think that there
Read moreThis finale was all about the sweet sound of wedding bells. I quite enjoyed Ned’s heartfelt speech towards the Licensing Commission, clearly he knows the pub very well due to his hard work and is the first sign of his evolution throughout the season. Ned went from a questionable and untrustworthy larrikin to a happy, enthusiastic, professional and dedicated man.
Read moreThis penultimate episode was solid but not spectacular. The Gemma and Damo subplot, especially going to the yoga retreat was okay but not great. I did enjoy the discovery of the yoga teacher being a fraud and Gemma and Damo reverting slightly, however it was a bit cheesy. I don’t remember Damo being so new-agey, I think the writers have
Read moreI think this episode was the worst. I didn’t particularly enjoy the return of Gemma’s mum, Wendy. I think this mostly because I didn’t enjoy her character, however it is also because of the way she treats Gemma. I didn’t care for her comments of taking the bins out being a man’s job or asking Gemma what she did to
Read moreThis episode was a little too flat for my liking. I like the start and the end being connected to the same plot. I like Ms Looby including Lewis in the school play so he can spend more time with Tilda, as it shows character development. The writers are slowly integrating her more and more into the main men’s lives
Read moreThis episode for me wasn’t bad, although I’m not sure if I really liked it. Lewis was portrayed in an unlikeable light–drinking all of the pub’s beer and subsequently draining the supply, stealing the ugly vase he bought for Gemma over-and-over and teaming up with Ned to get beer illegitimately (and clearly illegally). I personally didn’t like the vase subplot
