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 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
Read moreThis 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
Read moreThis 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
Read moreThis 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
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.
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.
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
