Loveday Writing

So 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

This episode was solid, I’ll give my verdict on this episode as a finale at the end of my review. It was obvious that Kane and Eve were going to survive the car accident, when the writers killed Nicola off, they promoted it heavily. No promotion equals no death. It was also obvious that Abi would be the one to

This episode was solid. I liked Abi going out to look for Mark, it’s about time that she started taking responsibility for her own horrible actions, like leaving her husband on the side of the road. I know Abi’s not a bad person, but I just wish that there could be at least more than one episode where she isn’t

Well this episode was a bombshell. I’m yet to decide whether I’m being positive or negative. I liked the Lewis and Heather subplot. With the sell of the pub and the mysterious end of his & Justin’s handyman business, Lewis does need some sort of career focus. Being a teacher’s aide suits him, despite his lack of patience sometimes and

This episode wasn’t the best. This is the only episode in the season to start in media res, I appreciated the writers shifting away from this technique as I felt that they were relying on it too much to tell their stories, especially in the first two seasons. I liked the choice to have the episode revolve around Angie’s birthday

In contrast to the previous episode, this episode was solid. The episode’s MVPs were definitely Kane and Alex. Kane for projecting his own bullying past and issues on to Finn to the point where he lost his mind and organised a fight between Finn and Mason was played brilliantly. Although I definitely don’t condone his behaviour, it was nice to

This episode was a bit of a hit-and-miss for me. Kane has always been an obsessive and worry-filled character, so obsessing about the pregnancy and crossing personal boundaries with Gemma and Lewis wasn’t that surprising. It was only a matter of time before he would be called out for it and especially by Lewis. I did enjoy Julia Morris’ performance

This episode was all about the kids. Typical luck that when Abi decides that she has finished having children and that she’s going to be a surrogate, that she discovers that she’s pregnant. I felt, like Kane, that Abi’s pregnancy takes away from the plot of Kane, Alex and Eve’s surrogacy plans and I don’t understand why another child for

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

This 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
