Here Come the Habibs–Season 1, Episode 5–Party Habibs Style

I found this episode to be very funny. One joke that wasn’t funny was the party terrorist, seriously enough already! That being said, the joke redeemed itself a little by having Elias pointing out the offensive and troublesome nature of the joke. I quite enjoyed the use of the party as a plot technique and felt that it was done

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 3

Well this episode finally addressed Ned’s absence. I knew prior to the season beginning that Lincoln Lewis wouldn’t be returning to House Husbands (he confirmed it on Twitter), therefore I knew his absence would be eventually explained. The explanation for his absence was absolutely terrible and out of character. While killing him off was too drastic, having him run off

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 2

This episode was a little average but better than the premiere. Kane chopping off his finger was a surprise. It was a surprise that the writers chose this to move the Eve storyline along and that they were that graphic with showing the amputated finger. Although it was a little quick, the transition between Eve and Kane being enemies to

House Husbands–Season 4, Episode 1

Well, it seems the writers are taking two steps forward to be knocked three steps back. Another year has passed in the House Husbands world, which presents a couple of continuity problems, such as (by my count): Finn should be in high school, Angie should be five by now (especially according to her birth records indicating she was born in

Here Come the Habibs–Season 1, Episode 4–The Anzaclava

This was the first episode that I fully enjoyed. I fully enjoyed this episode due to the fact that the shift that I asked for in the previous review is finally happening. Rather than focusing primarily on cultural stereotypes and cliches, this episode focused on character development and building bonds. I quite enjoyed the interaction between Mariam and Jack, especially

Here Come the Habibs–Season 1, Episode 3–Civil War

This episode was a little flat (yes even for this show), which isn’t a bad thing. There is clearly still a focus on the misconception of the Habibs’ as terrorists in Olivia’s eyes. I feel that this is getting a little old, especially since we are at the halfway point of the mini-series (unless it’s renewed), I think that there

House Husbands–Season 3, Episode 13

This finale was all about the sweet sound of wedding bells. I quite enjoyed Ned’s heartfelt speech towards the Licensing Commission, clearly he knows the pub very well due to his hard work and is the first sign of his evolution throughout the season. Ned went from a questionable and untrustworthy larrikin to a happy, enthusiastic, professional and dedicated man.

House Husbands–Season 3, Episode 12

This penultimate episode was solid but not spectacular. The Gemma and Damo subplot, especially going to the yoga retreat was okay but not great. I did enjoy the discovery of the yoga teacher being a fraud and Gemma and Damo reverting slightly, however it was a bit cheesy. I don’t remember Damo being so new-agey, I think the writers have
