'House Husbands' is an Australian drama set in Melbourne, revolving around four families where the men are the main caregivers of their children.
Justin, Mark, Lewis and Kane all have children attending Nepean South Primary school. These dads connect over their love of their children and the school. Over the course of the five seasons, the dads get involved in everything from a school quiz night, talent quests, spelling bees, building a school petting zoo and running the school canteen. The child actors all do a great job in their roles and the endless activities at the school allow occasions for the dads and their extended family to hang out and discuss everything from issues with their children, relationships and careers. This series also has several laugh out loud moments.
While the four 'house husbands' are the heart of the show, the supporting characters like the partners, wives and extended family of the male leads all do an excellent job in complementing each other. There is an easy chemistry between the cast making the dynamics of friends and family believable. 'House Husbands' is a solid Australian drama with a great sense of camaraderie, and is a great addition to your viewing list!
Personally I took a little while to connect with this series and enjoy it to a bingeworthy level. By the third season I felt connected to the characters and the drama increased to a level that continued throughout the remainder of the series. A heartwarming watch.
