House Husbands Review

Initially, I thought House Husbands would take a big hit without Kane. However, the writers did a good job explaining his absence. In fact, the episode was delightful from start to finish. The show is a little cheesy and cringy at times, but it is still entertaining. The addition of Nick should help to keep things interesting. Justin will likely continue to seek out true love throughout the season. And Mark will likely remain unemployed. Not much has changed.

The episode was good. A 7.5 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of House Husbands now.
