Am I Missing Something?
... View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
... View MoreI've caught this show from time to time and watched a good handful of episodes. I remembered it for the lead doctor character's sarcastic personality, but with an exciting knack in trying to solve puzzling cases. His crack team of doctors were also a worthy addition to the cast and gave the show some added entertainment. Not the most suspenseful or intriguing show I've seen, but definitely worth a look.Grade B-
... View MoreI absolutely despise medical dramas. Most of them are dull, depressing and tonally grim. House, by way of miracle, is like the remedy for prescription drugs; with your average episode of Casualty being like your regularly dispensed antibiotic and your average episode of house being like your naturally home-brewed probiotic. The latter is great at helping you feel better without poking holes in your immune system and making you cry. And, for me, this is what it all comes down to. House is a show that's upbeat and clever. It's also educating and fun. The patients suffer from unusual diseases every episode and, consequently, the audience is left to piece together a mystery every week. This is what makes the show so fun. Most people watching are not going to be doctors or surgeons so the writers are depending on the uninformed viewer to be oblivious and sometimes even misguided. Not to mention of course the beating heart of the show: Dr House. The character of House is such fun to watch. He's quirky, somewhat arrogant and, for the most part, ahead of everyone else. So he's not your average doctor. And he's not your average man. BUT he's not simply a clever man and a clever doctor either. He's an intelligent man with complex emotionally issues buried beneath a hard outer shell. And this is the reason why I feel so attached to the show emotionally. Your weekly medical drama (i.e. Casualty) is going to be emotional as well, of course, but what House does so well is educate you while also investing you in a complex character. It will make you cry from time to time as well but, with a show like House, that's hardly a bad thing.
... View MoreA person is getting sick...(Music Dense and Intense) Another healthy person is around the sick person seeks help from the healthy one. IRONY! The healthier person falls extremely sick and the sick person's issue is magically cured. TITLES Appear! Sick person admitted and referred to Dr. house, who refuses the case as it is too simple. People try to convince him but he is adamant, his assistants finally gave up. Just when they were off convincing Dr. House exclaimed! he heard a symptom that suddenly convinces him. Now he takes the case. (Suraj Barjatiya music all around) Now Dr. House discusses symptoms / assumptions / diagnostics / and blah blah (mission impossible music in the back ground) Now Dr. House based upon his extreme ego and completely stupid assumptions start experimenting on the patient (its all legal in here) one failure, two failure, patient getting worse, patient about to die! What to do? What to do? Disciples blaming each other, disciples blaming Dr. House (OMG) (music all tense again) (Tom Cruise is about to spill a drop of his sweat on the hyper sensitive floor) Nothing is making sense still lets do the most complicated procedure on the patient. Operation Theatre all set! Doctors assembled... patient lying on the operating table, they are about to cut him open Voila! Dr. House had an epiphany. He stops everything! Everyone is furious... Dr. house gives the patient a cough syrup and the patient is OK!The same nonsense is repeated in every episode and they give a rating of 8.8!!! No wonder by the end of season 2 someone shot Dr. House or I would have shot my TV!!!
... View Morecharacters are interesting but watching House be an ahole and popping pills every ten minutes is asinine. No Dr. in any hospital would get away with any of his behavior. That part is so over the top ABSURD as it gets. Plot-- wrong diagnosis, wrong diagnosis, wrong diagnosis, wrong diagnosis. patient cured. Shows can be entertaining but it's unbelievable. He would have been beaten to death by a patient or relative for his inappropriate behavior towards children, patients, staff. judges and the human race in general.
