Dr. House was the most entertaining medical drama on TV (Scrubs is a comedy). He is Sherlock Holmes level brilliant which is interesting because the author of the Sherlock Holmes novels (Arthur Conan Doyle) had a doctor(Joseph Bell) as modelDr. House was the most entertaining medical drama on TV (Scrubs is a comedy). He is Sherlock Holmes level brilliant which is interesting because the author of the Sherlock Holmes novels (Arthur Conan Doyle) had a doctor(Joseph Bell) as model for Sherlock Holmes deduction skills. The main appeal are the characters and the cases they get. Dr. House is sarcastic and a misanthrope who does not like personal contact with patients (They are a bunch of liars that make matters only more complicated) but he is the doctor you want more than anything else if you have serious health troubles. He is also a drug addict to pain killers because he had an injury in his leg that can not be fixed otherwise. Then there is his team consisting of Dr. Cameron, Dr. Chase and Dr. Foreman. All of them have to deal with him while having their own ideals, different opinions and are often shocked and in disbelieve of Dr. House. They are also much less sarcastic and more social competent. There are many good (side)stories about them. Later you get Dr. Hadly (Called 13), Dr. Taub and Dr. Kutner. They are a good addition to the team and brought fresh air to the series, Then there is Dr. Willson his best friend which means he is not safe from Dr. Houses pranks ;-). At last there are Dr. Cuddy his female boss. Each one trying to manipulate the other with often interesting and hilarious results. For the medical cases: Some are so good that real life doctors are impressed. While not scientifical accurate they did a lot of research (There is at least 1 book that analyses the cases and some medical schools use material for studying). The cases go often hand in hand with interesting people, situations and events. My only complaint / The only weakness of the show was that it got repetitive. Not in a bad way. The cases are still entertaining and the character interactions are always well but its more of the same. Overall this is a brilliant series that is well remembered. Dr. House became an iconic character that will live on forever in pop culture history.… Expand

When I first watched House I wasn't expecting to like it. But the thing is, I do, even if it has its minor problems along the way, it is a truly interesting and fun show, that is also witty, funny and intelligent.

House is great to look at,When I first watched House I wasn't expecting to like it. But the thing is, I do, even if it has its minor problems along the way, it is a truly interesting and fun show, that is also witty, funny and intelligent.

House is great to look at, particularly with the photography and lighting which are very good and skillful, while the music is good too with some very interesting song choices. The direction is solid, and the pacing is fine so none of the episodes feel boring or tiresome. The writing is witty and fresh, especially in the one-liners, while the story lines are somewhat original and intelligent. True, realism can go out of the window and there are some plot points that may go over your head at first, but I am still entertained by them. And the acting is superb, all the actors are wonderful and the characters are believable but it is Hugh Laurie's show all the way. Gregory House is a bit of a bastard granted, but Laurie's performance is so good that you can't help like him, in fact it is my favourite Laurie role with his roles in Jeeves and Wooster and Black Adder not far off.

All in all, a great show, not 100% perfect but it is still thoroughly entertaining- and these flaws are occasional and very minor to me- with a brilliant Hugh Laurie. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

The dramatic parts of House's life are awesome. But the majority of it is just case solving. Which is still really entertaining mainly because all of the characters are really good and well acted, and the cases that are worked on are pretty cool.

A very clever show. Very funny, sarcastic, dark and racist humor. Very dramatic.
