Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I caught this show only sporadically during the 1st season, I did not quite get what was going on, but I knew I liked the grumpy doctor guy. My wife & I managed to stumble on a few more shows during year 2, and got hooked solid during the 3rd season. We are both huge Sherlock Holmes fans, and we could see the similiarities, but we did not realize they were so intentional until the address on the door "B" and front entry "221" were displayed in one of the final 3rd season shows. (I did not realize they were also shown as "221B" during the 2nd season). So House & Wilson are a reincarnated Holmes & Watson, the rest of the parallels you have to dig around for yourself (more fun) or look it up on the web.
We are watching these now as an addiction, every other night 2-3 shows at a time. We only have 8 shows of the 2nd season left to go, so we need to preorder season 3 soon. The writing & directing are absolutely solid, on every episode; well, actually there was one episode at the beginning of season 2 that was "off" chemistry wise, but every other episode has been a gem, with fast paced intelligent dialog, wit, sarcasm and emotional tension, despite the techno-medical-speak. I have not been this hooked on anything from television since...Star Trek?
Understand though, that these are not really medical stories, they are detective stories in a medical setting. And everybody lies.
