This was one of the best episodes of the series so far. The episode kicks off with Greg and Em going to a cyber-safety information night, with Em deciding afterwards to install the “ICU app”—a secret surveillance app on Sophie’s phone. Once Em installs the app, she stays up all night reading Sophie’s texts. Things eventually go pear-shaped when Em

This episode was all about the internet. This episode kicks off with Chloe expressing frustration at the internet cutting in and out, leaving her unable to watch Terry’s interview on a morning show about his walking. Em also expresses her frustration by informing Greg she has been unable to download important work emails. Greg tells them that he has managed

This episode focused on family and money troubles. The episode kicks off with Greg and Em at Mario’s Meats buying meat for a barbecue and discussing Em’s father, Stuart, and her stepmother, Claire, coming to visit. Em encourages Greg to try and bond with her father, even though Stuart rubs his wealth in Greg’s face, while Greg encourages Em to

This episode explores Greg and Em’s careers. The episode kicks off with Greg looking at cruises for the family to go on, a continuation of the end of the previous episode when Greg and Em decided to pursue their dream of an overseas family holiday. Em tells Greg not to promise the girls anything as they don’t have the money

This episode was all about proposals. The start of the episode flashbacked to 2003 where Greg proposes to Em at The Loaded Toad after she wins a netball game. Greg has ordered her favourite chicken parmigiana meal, however Em has already eaten and then gets the runs from her food. After she rushes off to the bathroom, it’s revealed Greg

In my review of the season 1 finale, I wrote that How to Stay Married had a promising premise but it had been poorly executed and that I hoped for improvement if there was going to be another season. This season premiere certainly delivered. In all honesty, I was surprised that How to Stay Married was renewed for another season, especially as the writing

As these two episodes were aired together, I’m going to review them together. Episode 7 was one of the best of the series as, much like the previous episode, it kept things simple and there was one main plot–Greg’s idea to cut back on screen time. Ironically Greg comes up with the idea to cut back on screen time whilst

This episode was a huge improvement from last week’s. This episode kept things single with one major story and going sans the kids and Terry and Marlo. This episode focused on Em’s high school reunion. Throughout the episode Em hangs out with old schoolmate, Clea. After having a run in with an old teacher who accuses her of plagiarising a

In all honesty this review is going to be short as I felt this was the weakest episode of the series so far. This episode revolved around the impending hard rubbish collection day in Greg and Em’s neighbourhood. The impending collection day, along with Em realising there isn’t enough space in the house and there is an unused cubby house

This episode managed to be both hilarious and relatable. The A story this week was Greg being a coach on Sophie’s basketball team and Em believing that she hasn’t been around enough due to her new job. Throughout the episode, something is clearly up with Sophie, even more so as it’s revealed that she hasn’t scored a goal all season
