What makes house so addicting?

Post  lisalin on Thu Mar 04, 2010 2:30 am

'House' is simply the finest medical drama television has ever offered. The writing is crisp and the stories, although pretty stock from week to week, offer the actors opportunities to explore their characters and play off one another in ways that all great shows accomplish. The theme is medicine and curing the sick, who enter with unexplainable maladies, but the core of the show is House's personality, vented through the horrible pain he endures every day and the obsession with solving the medical puzzle of the week as he deals with his misanthropic personality They should just give Hugh Laurie a lifetime Emmy and be done with it. He is magnificent as House, surly, thoughtful, funny, rude, brilliant and always compelling to watch. House's sessions in the clinic are practically stand up comedy and Laurie's timing is perfect.
The supporting case, with Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison, Lisa Edelstein and Jesse Spencer are all first rate and the show is always well directed. The medical procedures are graphically realistic and the prop department should also be commended in this regard.
For a show which centers on such an absolutely likeabley dislikeable guy, the issues and human frailties addressed in each show range from poignant or frivolous and back again, and that is what makes House so addicting.
