Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie, wonderfully cast against type, stars as the brilliant but caustic Dr. Gregory House, a maverick physician who is devoid of bedside manner.

Together with his handpicked team of young medical experts, he'll do whatever it takes in the race against the clock to solve the case...

House Formula Stales Quickly

ROSS GERAGHTY from London, 14th January, 2007

Gnarly House MD faces the same trials, and solves them the same way, week in week out in this formulaic American series. House will show us that he won't be pushed around by the hospital bosses, who seem insistent on making him do something he really doesn't want to do, namely help patients. He will belittle his three (three!) sidekicks, yet they will still adore and respect him. Someone will come in with a seemingly untreatable disease, then someone else - usually a child - will come in to be treated by him during which he will realise the answer to the episode's main raison d'etre illness, and a lightbulb moment will occur. All the time you keep expecting Hugh Laurie to burst into the costume of the Prince Regent in Blackadder 3 as his acting just isn't good enough to convince us. It's better than that of his dubious sidekicks, especially the English/Australian guy who is hopeless. Pretty poor. Get Scrubs instead if you insist on indulging the never-ending fascination with hospital drama/comedy.

medical mysteries

Edward Whelan from edinburgh, 19th August, 2005

An excellent series. Hugh laurie pulls off an american accent without embarrssment. This is a well written, well acted drama about uncovering the root of strange medical sysmptoms. fans of Oliver Sacks and ER will enjoy it. The only flaw is the predictable pace- you always know their first guess at the illness will be wrong in some way. But the mysteries are good enough to make up for it.

Same again.

TheMovieman from from Ramsbottom, 13th March, 2006

Although I am enjoying this series, I can't help but notice how formulaic it is. Patient comes in, nobody knows what's wrong, they try every possibilty, House is rude, House solves the case. It would be nice if every so often we lose a patient to show how human the doctors at this hospital are. Or maybe House gets it wrong while one of his long-suffering team wins the day. Having said all this, House is well acted and directed and Hugh Laurie is superb as the eponymous anti-hero. There is some killer dialogue too. Worth a look at, but whether you last the full 6 discs is another matter.

Why isn't it widescreen

PC99 from Milton Keynes, 5th July, 2006

Fantastic series, but the UK release is fullscreen 4:3. Why are they still releasing stuff in this format.

You know what is coming but it's still good!

A Customer from Newton Abbot, 19th March, 2010

A real addiction. After a few episodes you get it, you know what's coming, but you still want to watch it. House is eccentric, annoying, sarcastic but somehow you can't dislike him. This took us completely by surprise and now we see why Hugh Laurie is still in the US making this series! Much better than average tv An unlikely must watch
