So this episode explored the ramifications of Nick’s secret coming out, just as I thought it would, or at least with the guys. I felt that the guys alternating between resenting and helping Nick was realistic and done well, displaying how much their friendship with him has grown. While Nick certainly had to tell Rachel the truth, I felt that
Read moreSo we’re nearing the halfway point of the season which means that a story arc usually reaches it peak. In this episode, I’d say that the major story arc–Nick’s secret gambling–is starting to reach its peak. Throughout the episode there’s a build up of Nick’s desperation to pay back a gambling debt, which I felt was rushed a little since
Read moreThis is the first episode that I’ve actually enjoyed this season. While the previous three episodes weren’t bad, I feel that they have fallen flat and been a bit underwhelming. Inevitably this episode was going to focus on the fallout of the revelation that Bernie wasn’t Mark’s biological father and that Mark would subsequently look for him. I felt that
Read moreThis episode fell a little flat for me. While I’m glad that it wasn’t overly melodramatic, despite the subject matter, and the writing was mostly solid, I felt that this episode like last week’s, was a filler to build up major story arcs and later episodes. I felt that the ashes subplot was a little cliche–losing the ashes, the battle
Read moreThis episode was purely about Mark’s parents visiting to build up to the impending reveal that Mark is apparently adopted or not his “father”, Bernie’s, son. Although the reveal didn’t happen in this episode, thanks to the ads, we know it’s coming. I wasn’t really sympathetic towards Liz, although I feel she was the most honest and interesting character in
Read moreSo 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
Read moreI found this season finale interesting as Hyde & Seek‘s future remains to be seen. The last season finale I saw where the show’s future was uncertain was the third season of Love Child back in August. Love Child‘s finale managed to wrap up the season’s story arcs and establish new ones, in case they were renewed for another season.
Read moreI 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 wondered what the finale would be like after Billie was told that she’s not a Norton. I liked the focus on Harriet and her intentions behind her actions being revealed to both Billie and the viewers. I liked the display of evolution in their relationship as Billie was the only one who knew where to find her and gave
Read moreIn all honesty, for a finale, this episode was a little disappointing. The first third of the episode is spent on the birth of Pete and Meredith’s baby. I felt that the birth scenes were realistic without being overly graphic, which I appreciated. I also enjoyed finding out why Lily ended up looking like she had been through the wringer
