Thoughts on House MD

The other day Abhiram finished House and he posted his review on WhatsApp or facebook, I don't remember much, I don't remember the content too. But I just remembered that I wanted to watch it and couldn't make it work for nearly 2-3 years. And this one time, while I watching a YouTube shorts, a video from House Season 5 or something. I was so impressed that I went ahead and started watching that episode directly. And to my luck, it was a box episode, and I was so glad that it was. A box episode is usually one episode in a season where they're limited to few locations or one location. As a writer, it's challenging to write such and most of them don't turn out to be good. Speaking of a box episode, Brooklyn 99, has a episode in Season 5, Episode 14, titled as 'The Box'. Almost full length of the episode runs in the police interrogation room which often refferres to as the box. Ok, coming back to House MD, I watched the box episode (Episode Name: Last Resort, Season 5, Episode 9) made me hooked to the show. So, I started watching House MD and it turned out to be a awesome show. To summarise, House MD is a medical show, Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House and along with a team he solves complicated medical situations with his genius mind. Kinda like Sherlock Holmes solving murders, but instead we have medical complications and patients life is at risk. Most of it, as they would say, medical mumbo jumbo, I couldn't understand them either. But House's interaction with team, Dr. Lisa Cuddy and very rarely with patients The drama in each episode is different, each patient and his or her backstory is different and it's kinda funny, sad or thrilling and sometimes even philosophical. I tried to write one or two articles based on two or three episodes on it because it kept me thinking for few days and hopefully someday I'll work on it. Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. James Wilson played by Robert Sean Leonard is like a additional bonus. He is the kind of friend everyone needs in this life to survive. He is there for roughly 6-8 minutes of it, but every scene he's in is worthwhile. There are many favourite episodes namely , two with Andre Braugher, Last Resort, Season 8 intro, the one which had a fat man, the bus crash, the one in a collapsed building,the one with kidney transplant, and so on. 


To conclude, House MD is over and I'm off to new one which I haven't finalized yet. But I'll come back few years later, because this was one of the best.
