Obviously, not having much experience with people who are homosexual, Daniel is very wary of Henry and reluctant to spend any time with him. But, like we’ve seen in previous episodes, Daniel has another side to him that isn’t so laddish and crude. Sadly, this episode only has this one thing to keep me interested, as the other two main characters used are S.Mouse (groan) and Jen (sigh), the two weakest characters of the series. S.Mouse is doing community service by visiting young children at a primary school, where he feels it’s still appropriate to refer to them as “mother fuckers” and sing his “Big Black Balls” song. He does sing a pretty humorous, yet totally inappropriate song called “Hot Kids”, a song about paedophiles. Jen Okazaki is back to being a brutal bitch of a mother to her ‘gay’ son, Tim. He’s diagnosed with depression in this episode, so Jen orders him to relax and buys him a puppy he doesn’t want. Obviously, this was a woman that was never going to be sympathetic. S.Mouse and Jen aren’t enjoyable to watch most of the time, because they aren’t the flawed characters with genuine hearts like we see in Gran, Daniel and Blake. Their humour is derived from the way they look and the things they say. There are no redeeming features in these characters. So, if you don’t find stereotypes and mimicked accents funny, there isn’t much for you here. Read our review of episode 6 here. Follow Den Of Geek on Twitter right here.
