Reviews (8)
The series "Dr. House" had excellent screenwriters and every story, even though they became very repetitive over time, is presented in such a way that you're waiting until the end to see how it turns out, what the revelation or punchline will be. And they managed to deliver it. I didn't get tired of the series, but I have to say that I'm glad it ended after eight seasons. It didn't have anything new to offer anymore. It ended at its peak, in the best possible way. Of course, I was sad about the ending, but when I look back on it, I have to admit that it really came at the right time, in the right form. This is how we leave behind a series that entertained us for eight years, and I have to say that this also applies to the Czech dubbing, which is really excellent, especially in the case of House himself.

A series that rises and falls with the main character, a cynical and highly idiosyncratic doctor who, while making accurate diagnoses and achieving undeniable success in treating patients, tramples on those around him with numerous quips and rough behavior. Upon longer viewing, the problem arises that the blueprint on which each episode is based is actually always the same... Overall impression: 80%.

Tragicomic life cynicism and dry sarcasm meet within a brilliantly pragmatic doctor, who may at first glance see his patients mainly as objects of amusing scrutiny, but underneath all that black-humored veneer lies an emotionally crippled, but at his innermost core, good-hearted man. With his charismatic appearance as the unshaven and limping doctor, Hugh Laurie deservedly garners all the accolades and recognition. However, it would be unfair to leave out the rest of his teammates/opponents, the most notable of whom is Lisa Edelstein as the hospital director Dr. Lisa Cuddy, who has to keep officially apologizing to that the madman. The concept of episodes that are not connected does not bother me much, nor surprisingly does the series get boring. Although some of the episodes are lower in quality than the overall average, it is impossible not to love this series. If only for the wonderful life philosophy that "everyone lies!"

A variation on CSI in a hospital setting with an American Hippocrates. The entire series focuses on a group of medical outsiders and their untraditional cures for infectious and other diseases. A huge asset and, in fact, the only good reason for watching this is the peculiar creature in the form of Hugh Laurie in the main role. Incredibly cynical, sarcasm oozing, manipulative and unassertive doctor, Gregory House, with a maxim for every situation that is “everybody lies". The fifth star (and the fourth too) in my rating is for him. The fundamental story structure is, like with CSI, the main drawback because the same process of “investigating" the illness repeats itself over and over again. Despite that, this is an above-average and suspenseful series in all respects and you can see that the producer, Brian Singer, keeps a constant eye on the quality, even in later seasons, because it has a rising tendency (rising fairly sharply toward the end). You don’t often see that sort of thing.

I can't say anything less about this one than that it's my sarcastic sunshine that comes out every Monday night... I love his catchphrases, sometimes they make me think. I like the doctor setting and the detective stories and House is a combination of both, so it's absolutely perfect for me! :-) Considering I'm almost all the way through season 5... Wow, I had no idea there were other avenues to go down that House and I didn't go down. This series is really worth it. The "grandiose" exit to the Obama administration. :-) Well, if his departure was "grandiose", then there is no word in the Czech dictionary for a sixth season.
