Product 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.... Read more ›

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 :)

Well season 6 is out and yet again another class act to follow season 5. Whilst in season 5 you see house completly lose the plot this season shows his return to 'normality' (what ever that is for him) whilst trying to be happy and have fun without pills.
Hugh Laurie is brilliant and I am looking forward to many more seasons.

I was quite unsure how a new nicer and more stable House could possibly be as entertaining as the old nasty House, but this show continues to go from strength to strength with another brilliant and unputdownable season. Highly recommended for all fans! Although the medical puzzles in each episode are individual, the main characters and themes continue throughout so I would definitely suggest watching the series from the beginning rather than starting with season 6.

Not a review as such, I just wanted to point out for fellow hearing impaired viewers that finally we have (English) SUBTITLES! It really sucks that none of the previous seasons on dvd had them.

The excellent finale to Season 5 is followed up here with a quite brilliant 2-part season opener, after which I was raving to my friends about how incredible it is that House could still be this good despite being into its sixth season.
Sadly, after that it all goes a bit wrong. There is a major mid-seaon slump here, with a run of average-at-best episodes which are the definition of the word 'filler'. The episode '5 to 9', focussing exclusively on Cuddy, is possibly my least favourite episode to date - basically an episode of House with hardly any House in it.
In the end, it is left to Hugh Laurie (as always) to save the day, this time by making his directorial debut on 'Lockdown', which finally brings a run of pretty poor episodes to an end, and from then on the final few episodes are of a reasonably high standard. Unfortunately the writers were not able to muster an ending to match the incredible season 5 finale, and it ends worryingly with Cuddy and House getting together - how many shows have gone off the rails once a will-they-won't-they relationship comes to fruition? I find that for the first time, I am not that excited to see the next season, largely because I am not very interested to see the Cuddy/House relationship played out. Personally, I thought the will-they-won't-they ended with a perfect 'they definitely won't' at the end of Season 5 and am a bit disappointed that it has been resurrected. Now there are two options: either it will work out between them, which I think will be pretty dull, or it won't - which I think could be interesting if, for example, it results in Cuddy leaving and a new Dean of Medicine being appointed. I think if they split up and then carry on as before it will be too unfeasible.... Read more ›
