My Thoughts On House MD

Introduction

I was looking for a new series to watch, and there are a lot to choose from, and some of the biggies that I have seen all the way through are Dexter and Supernatural both of which I enjoyed.

I had heard that House was good and you can check out the IMDB and Wikipedia entries here:

The Concept

It is actually a twist on the detective story, except the criminal is a medical condition and the detectives are the doctors and hospital staff.

House is a Sherlock Holmes character complete with musicianship (Hugh is an accomplished piano player) and drug addiction. House is a great character but obnoxious to almost everyone and you often feel he needs a good slapping down, but it does make him incredibly watchable.

House is very similar to Johnny Lee Miller's Sherlock in "Elementary", a brilliant mind, but unbelievably rude to everyone in his life although there is a lot of love and care for those who are close, but sometimes it does not show. There is an emphasis on solving the case and getting things right by whatever means there are, whether they stay within conventional lines or not.

Conclusion

House is excellent and I am looking forward to seeing the series through to completion. "Elementary" is also excellent.

Check out the links and videos I have shared and you may come to the same positive conclusion that I did.
