The Secret Daughter–Season 1, Episode 5 (I Fought the Law)

This episode didn’t have the drama I hoped it would, until the last two minutes. This episode was mostly about Billie’s court case. Ryan O’Kane played the role of the ridiculously bad solicitor rather convincingly, however what I liked most was Gus’ role in the subplot. For the first time Gus shows some ironic competency with the law or rather

The Secret Daughter–Season 1, Episode 4 (Lean on Me)

I felt that this episode is a bit of a filler to lead into the remaining two episodes. My reasons for this are due to the episode revolving around Jack’s funeral, the arrival of Layla, the return of Gus, the media catching on to Billie’s appearance in the Norton family and Bruno’s discovery of where Billie is. All of these

The Wrong Girl–Season 1, Episode 6

This episode dealt with all kinds of ramifications. I’m not going to complain about the use of in media res, as I’ve done this enough, that being said I found it hilarious that it focused on Lily being stuck in the closet by a coat hanger and her hair. The morning after awkwardness was played out realistically, especially with Simone

Doctor Doctor–Season 1, Episode 9 (Say Sayonara)

I delivered my verdict on this episode on Twitter–brilliant and absolutely heart shattering. Ajax has exiled himself from his family after being told that Hugh is his father. I felt that the ramifications of this revelation weren’t explored fully, it almost felt brushed off and everyone moved on too quickly, with the biggest ramification being public humiliation. Considering the build

Doctor Doctor–Season 1, Episode 8 (The Truth Is Out There)

This episode was the one all the viewers had been waiting for–Ajax finally finds out that Hugh is his father. While the outcome of the truth coming out prior than planned was cliche and inevitable, I did love the build up as it was authentic. The whole family find out ultimately because of Hugh as he decides to tell his

Doctor Doctor–Season 1, Episode 7 (This Is Not A Love Song)

This episode to me felt like a filler. At the end of the previous episode, Hugh suggests to Aiofe that they become a couple, which plays out in this episode humorously and disastrously. The outcome was obvious and frankly, since there was a strong build up for them as love interests, I don’t understand why the inevitable had to be

Hyde & Seek–Episode 5

This episode was spectacular–mentally spectacular as opposed to physically spectacular. The episode mainly revolved around the bus hijacking. I wonder how people would have felt about the episode–the plot fits perfectly in the Hyde & Seek world, but it might have hit too close to home in the real word (i.e the Sydney Siege). Joel Jackson’s performance was brilliant, a far
