This episode was all about trivia and alcohol. While the Butler family have spent the last two episodes being paired off, interestingly, this episode focuses more on Greg, Em, Terry, Marlo, Luna and the other parents, than it does on the family as a whole, especially with the absence of Chloe. The trivia night that Greg talked about in the
Read moreI’m going to review this episode character by character. Ajax, Hayley and Tom – While they weren’t necessarily the biggest focus of the episode, this episode did jump start two story arcs focusing on them: Hayley cheating on Ajax, and Ajax developing a gambling problem. Once again Hayley is taken for granted by everyone in the family when Hugh dumps
Read moreNow that the premiere has aired, the fun can really begin. This episode was once again set in realistic circumstances with the family split up but not entirely paired off. Greg and Chloe were stuck with each other in the house all day on a Saturday as both Em and Sophie were at work. Chloe has been struggling to sleep
Read moreThe job of a season premiere is to establish new story arcs and subplots for the season. I felt that this season premiere did a decent but not perfect job. As I wrote the review of the season 2 finale on 13 April 2020 (over a year ago), I had to remind myself where we (the viewers) were left off
Read moreThe job of a season premiere is to establish story arcs and subplots for the season and this premiere did its job perfectly. In fact, I think this was one of the best season premieres I’ve ever seen due to what I feel was flawless writing. I felt the writers’ choice to have the premiere have a non-linear structure by

Wes and Kassie – Despite the fact that they are new characters to the show, as they were the episode’s biggest focus, I thought I’d start with them. Wes makes

This premiere did its job perfectly. Generally when I am reviewing the season premiere of a show, I re-read the review I wrote on the previous season’s finale,
Read moreThe job of a season finale is to conclude the current season’s story arcs, and subplots and establish new story arcs and subplots for the next season (if there is another one). Fisk has always been a series where each episode is self-contained, so there were no major story arcs to conclude. There was only one recurring subplot, Roz’s suspension,
Read moreI’m going to review Amazing Grace’s Season 1 Finale character by character. Sophia, Grace and Kirk – One of the finale’s main focuses was the adoption story arc, specifically the fact that Sophia would be giving Eady up for adoption the next day. The episode kicks off with Sophia making a video for Eady to watch when she’s older, explaining
Read moreI’m going to try something different with this review, completing it character by character. Helen – The episode kicks off with May inviting Helen to her book club, which she declines. We then cut to Helen at work, with George bringing in a man by the name of Terry Montanello who is at the firm to see Roz, to see
