My Family (TV Series) He's Just Not That Into Ben (2010) User Reviews

Hugh Sachs is great fun.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 7/10 · 27 May 2020]

Ben accompanies Michael on a night out to a gay bar, and is hit on by a guy who becomes obsessed with him.

It is very much a direct follow up to The son'll come out, Ben is making every effort to be supportive of his son, but manages once again to just get things wrong.

Hugh Sachs is really good fun as Rupert, and generated most of the laughs, Lindsay once again is fantastic, he looks so ridiculous, good fun. The Janey side story once again is good value, but needed more development.

I like that they are now focusing on the main family, no Alfie, no Roger, they've all vanished.

Good fun, 7/10.

Good enough, just

Hugo Sachs puts in a great turn here as a gay guy who becomes a bit obsessed with Ben.

While not as strong or as funny as the previous two episodes, this stuill does have its moments, though Susan's character assassination of Ben feels a bit out of character, and would show an early appearance of the 'horrible Susan' character trait would pop up more in S11.

It is nice to see Ben and Michael interacting with each other more since Michael's revelation though.

The ever lovely Daniella Denby Ashe gets a fun subplot too.

An above average episode, but not up there with the best of S10.
