House Husbands: Season One- Review

It's fair to say that I gave up on Twin Peaks and traded it for something a little more 'easy viewing'-friendly...so in other words, an Australian night time soap. I'd also be lying if I said that I wasn't watching this show solely because of Firass Dirani.

House Husbands is another TV series that is surely somewhat unfamiliar within this community, yet should be talked about more for its presentation using a highly relatable plot and characters that manage to capture on-point responses both by the actors and audience.

Unlike most Australian TV series', House Husbands focuses on the perspective of four very different and diverse fathers who go about their busy lives and stay connected with their friends via family and through the primary school that their children attend.

There's a lot to like about this series, particularly for it's outlook on a household that portrays husbands and wives reversing their typical social norms and showcasing a household where both parents have high-demand jobs, same-sex parents and parents who don't have a typical aura of wealth.

There's a lot you could say about it in terms of critiquing it and potentially just filing it under every other soapy drama/comedy that comes your way, but in terms of enjoyment level and just something that's entertaining enough to watch on a cold night in, it's pretty great. If you've noticed, these kinds of shows I don't review entirely, just because they're a small source of entertainment for me and aren't meant to be masterpieces. They are, however, enough to win Australian TV awards.

If you're looking for a show that is comical, relatable and all-inclusive, look no further than this well presented piece of Australian TV with some very familiar yet prominent faces.

Score: 7/10.
