When I first watched House I wasn't expecting to like it. But the thing is, I do, even if it has its minor problems along the way, it is a truly interesting and fun show, that is also witty, funny and intelligent.
House is great to look at, particularly with the photography and lighting which are very good and skillful, while the music is good too with some very interesting song choices. The direction is solid, and the pacing is fine so none of the episodes feel boring or tiresome. The writing is witty and fresh, especially in the one-liners, while the story lines are somewhat original and intelligent. True, realism can go out of the window and there are some plot points that may go over your head at first, but I am still entertained by them. And the acting is superb, all the actors are wonderful and the characters are believable but it is Hugh Laurie's show all the way. Gregory House is a bit of a bastard granted, but Laurie's performance is so good that you can't help like him, in fact it is my favourite Laurie role with his roles in Jeeves and Wooster and Black Adder not far off.
All in all, a great show, not 100% perfect but it is still thoroughly entertaining- and these flaws are occasional and very minor to me- with a brilliant Hugh Laurie. 10/10 Bethany Cox
