This review is from: House, M.D.: Seasons One & Two (DVD)

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.

Can't get enough of House. He is acerbic, charming, obscessive, brilliant and very attractive. The repartee with Cuddy, Wilson and his three assistants is perfect sitcom television. Five stars; it doesn't get better than this. The challenge after each show is what on earth was the diagnosis? No one cares because of the dynamics of the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Seasons of the best show of all time, September 22, 2008

House M.D. - Seasons 1 & 2
House is the perfect show for everyone. Yes, I said it. Everyone. There is drama, gore, intensity, comedy, and romance. If you are not a fan of those, then you hate everything. If you are looking to get into House, I suggest picking up this set. If you do not even know what House is, then this is the review for you.

In my recent review of House M.D. - Season 2, I described the stories main drift as this:

"House is a painkiller-addicted doctor who walks with a limp due to a muscle being removed in his leg. He is the best doctor in the hospital, but is often apathetic and hates patients. The storyline of a common episode will depict House and his team trying to find out what is wrong with an abnormal patient. They will come up with a solution and find out it is wrong. Then they continue to find solutions until they find the right one. Along the way, there is plenty of gore and snide remarks on behalf of House. Almost every episode has this underlying pattern."

House is developed in Season 1. Everything I described in the last quote is showed in Season 1. House's sense of humor will have you laughing, but will never ruin the moment. His attitude about his job makes him interesting. While he does not care about his patients, you find him eventually caring about things. It makes it seem like his heart is not as cold as originally thought. This makes him a dynamic character.

House has a team of doctors that help him solve these cases. Carmen, the over-caring woman. Foreman, the dynamic black man. Chase, the odd Aussie. Each one of them has a fair share of character build-up during Season 2. Foreman changes multiple times progressively making you care more about him.

Season 1 introduces you to House and develops his character. Season 2 develops his team's character. I prefer Season 2 for all the dynamic characters that are created. I gave both five stars though and they are both fantastic. The Season finales for both are fantastic. There are a few extras on each season that you might find interesting. The show itself is worth five stars alone without it. You will find this show to be completely captivating, and you will be craving more.
