Review: House

Any fans of the TV show House out there?

My parents recommended this one to me. (They also recommended "Everybody Loves Raymond", but I try not to hold that against them.)

House is a medical doctor in charge of a team of diagnosticians who are stumped by a medical anomaly each episode. House is a brilliant actor---he manages to balance being devilishly rude and arrogant, with funny and likable. The relationships between all of the characters are complex and fun to watch, particularly with House and Cuddy, the hospital administator. As an added bonus, Massive Attack plays the opening theme song.

The season finale of season 4 was a two-part, tripped-out roller coaster ride, with the lives of four main characters dramatically changed.

Season 5 starts in September.
