HOUSE M.D. Review

I LOVED House when I first started watching the show. House was the man I loved and hated at the same time. He had so many issues, but was brilliant and straight-foward. He also had great chemistry with the director and his team.

This season, the chemistry is strange with his new team. It's lacking - in definition, in humor, and in imagination. I've grown to like them, but I'm not drawn into the "lives" of the characters. House is a show I could take or leave at this point. I watch it if there's nothing else on, and I need something to entertain me while I fold clothes.

The worst part of the show is the repetitive storyline. Occasionally, the writers mix it up. But usually, House and his team misdiagnose a patient for 45 minutes, and House amazingly figures it out in the last 10 minutes. The original treatment hurts and hinders the patient's health and/or the ability to diagnose. This boring part generally overshadows the intricacies of House's loveable insanity so that I'd rather not watch the show anymore.
