This episode served its purpose as a season finale–wrapping up the first season’s plots and subsequently opening the door for the second season. I’m more than happy that the Rodney & Nicola relationship finally ended, not to mention that Nicola finally if not slowly saw Rodney for who he really is. The fact that it was now made obvious by
Read moreThis episode was jam-packed with revelations, tension and bad behaviour. I felt Lewis summed up the whole Mark-kissing-the-teacher situation, “kissing the teacher isn’t normal.” However I believe the tension displayed by Miss Nadir was played brilliantly, I couldn’t wait for her to finally and inevitably crack. I had only previously seen Kate Jenkinson in The Wedge, so it was nice
Read moreIn contrast to the previous episode, this episode was one of the strongest. Again it starts in media res with some sort of school get-together with the kiddies looking crustacean-ably (yes I know that’s not a word) adorable. The transition from Zac running around as a jellyfish near Mark, to Mark mistaking him for another jellyfish-dressed child, therefore revealing the
Read moreThis episode is by far the one that I have liked the least all season. The main reason for this was due to the unrealistic nature of the A story.
Read moreThis episode introduced a new and interesting character, Phoebe. Lewis and Gemma’s wedding is only days away, Abi wants to plan a hens night, so naturally drama needs to come along and possibly mess it all up.
Read moreOnce again, another school event tying everyone together—the school’s soccer grand final. This episode took a different approach and decided to be serious and sombre. The episode started with Lucy and Justin trying to spend time together, ending abruptly with the possibility of Angie swallowing a key ring charm. Rodney grabbing the key ring charm and later showing it to
Read moreOnce again, another episode starting in media res with a school event being the common thread throughout. I know it’s only the fourth episode in total and only the second episode with the in media res technique being used, but it’s already getting old. We kick off with Abi coming to see Mark at the police station. Mark has been
Read moreThis episode had so many plots it was hard to keep up–Abi & Kane’s dad visiting and his intentions behind the visit, Gemma being offered a new job and deciding to propose to Lewis, as well as Lewis deciding to propose to Gemma as soon as he finds out about her proposal. Once again, the episode started revolving around a
Read moreEpisode 1 as all first episodes are supposed to do established the characters. Episode 2 did its job of going deeper. Again the episode revolves around one common thread, the first episode revolved around the first day of school, this episode revolved a parents’ show and tell.
Read moreThe big sell of House Husbands for months before it went to air, was the surprisingly-still big shock of men who choose to be full-time dads and the humour that can come from it. Episode 1 didn’t disappoint with both the humour and the exploration of stay-at-home dads in Australian society, as well as serving its purpose to establish its
