DVD Description
At fictional Princeton-Plainview Teaching Hospital in New Jersey, prickly genius Dr. Gregory House tackles baffling health mysteries like a medical Sherlock Holmes, while amusing himself by playing mindgames with hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy and House's best friend, Dr. James Wilson, an oncologist. House's original team of young diagnosticians -- Drs. Eric Foreman, Allison Cameron and Robert Chase -- have graduated to other duties, replaced by House's new team: Drs. Lawrence Kutner, Chris Taub and a female doctor House has dubbed Thirteen.

A great season. although for a while during it this is not apparent. Doubts are dispelled in two excellent final episodes, revelations explaining much that puzzled and disappointed earlier.
Throughout there has been a man on the edge. The brilliant two-part opener shows "House" at its very best: the doctor, teetering on a breakdown, confined to a sanitarium. Almost "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" at times, this proves very moving indeed. House emerges seemingly less self-centred, at long last recognizing others have feelings too.
Unfortunately he soon appears his old self - arrogantly riding roughshod over all. It takes time for us to realize this is a smokescreen, he still greatly in need of therapy. Wilson is thus not the doormat he seems, but painstakingly (at some personal cost) ensuring House is never on his own - otherwise there could well be further drug abuse and a life again in freefall.
The show's producers take pains to remind us the hospital does not revolve around House (as we might have been forgiven for thinking). Two of the most successful episodes have him confined to the periphery - the focus instead first on Wilson, then Cuddy. We thus appreciate there is far more to their working lives than House being a nuisance.
Such realization comes to House himself in the lockdown episode (which Hugh Laurie directed). For so long the doctor has flamboyantly rejected nineteen in every twenty of the serious cases referred to him. Now he is confined with one of those rejects. The man is dying, House to experience increasing remorse.
By the season's end he is confessing to Cuddy he is "the most screwed up person in the world".
Full marks to all for being so intent on evolving. Strengths remain self-evident: Hugh Laurie terrific, the scripts fine, the cast excellent, many more of those bizarre medical cases that puzzle so much. Despite all the angst, the show remains very funny. (Note episode 4's inspired mime after House promises not to say another word.)
22 episodes. Interesting extras (especially about the sanitarium sequences).
Season 6 offers much to applaud and to think about.

Every series of House just seems to get better and better.
This series starts with House living in an institution and trying to combat his addition.
These episodes were among the funniest and most moving TV I have ever seen.
Hugh Laurie is an incredible actor who brings all the contradictions of House's personality in a completely believable way.
This is TV entertainment at its absolute best.

You'd think by Series 6, a drama where episodes are built around what is basically the same premise, would be getting tired, but with House, not so! They still managed to come up with some fascianting plots but this time round with even more humour and vulnerability from the phenomenal Gregory House, whom Hugh Laurie plays with aplomb.
The relationship between Wilson and House just gets better and better. They make a phenomenal double act and have by far the best chemistry on the show. The rest of the cast are also superb.
The season finale is a brilliant episode, leading the way for a slightly new direction for the team at Princeton Plainsboro'. I know they are currently filming Season 7 and cannot wait for what comes next!
If you have not had the pleasure of House at all before, go back and start at Season 1. You have a mighty fine drama ahead of you and I'm envious :)
