Home Again

Season one finale isn't an especially tense affair although it does leave it tantalisingly close to decide the fate of the Walsh family's living arrangements when Jim is made a job offer he can't refuse.

Veteran film & TV actor Linden Chiles appears briefly as the feared Mr Powell whose presence usually signals lay-offs, placing everyone under a pall.

There's also a slightly uncomfortable sub-plot between Brandon and Andrea which doesn't really work, and seemed almost surreal all things considered. I guess we'll have to wait until season two to find out what becomes of the brokenhearted not to mention a major cliffhanger between Brenda and Dylan which flew out of the box in the closing seconds.

Solid final instalment is occasionally moving, ending with some heartfelt reflections from the main characters as the Walsh's begin to realise the positive impact they've had on the West Beverly community since they arrived from Minneapolis almost a year ago.

Time to saddle up for season two, beginning no doubt with Brenda and Dylan's big dilemma.
