Loveday Writing

This episode was the one all the viewers had been waiting for–Ajax finally finds out that Hugh is his father. While the outcome of the truth coming out prior than planned was cliche and inevitable, I did love the build up as it was authentic. The whole family find out ultimately because of Hugh as he decides to tell his

This episode to me felt like a filler. At the end of the previous episode, Hugh suggests to Aiofe that they become a couple, which plays out in this episode humorously and disastrously. The outcome was obvious and frankly, since there was a strong build up for them as love interests, I don’t understand why the inevitable had to be

This episode focused more on Hugh’s family–his actual family and his hospital family. With Hugh’s family it was obvious that the aftermath of Charlie’s ectopic pregnancy was going to be explored. Both Matt and Charlie are grieving in their own ways–avoiding each other–it’s a little cliche for them to avoid each other for their inevitable chat at the end of

To 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.

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

So 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

In 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

This 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
