House is in the House

See, i have 2 weeks of hols and while other people are studying for their 2 kyuu, i'm like on a tv marathon. animes, movies and recently english dramas. One of it would be House. This certainly goes on top of my top 10 or 100 or whatever charts. Why is it so great?
That's cause the lead guy, Gregory House is such an ass. He's a diagnostician. He's damn good at his job. He has 3 talented docs working under him. Each week, their face with a medical crisis. They find the cause and cure it. Sounds simple enough and truthfully, that's all there is to it. But i did forget to mention that House( who's wonderfully played by Hugh Laurie) is a psycho, limp,drug addict and huge sense or cynicism and sarcasm.The docs under him is one a rich ass' son, one a black juvenile and the other, just a really really hot chick.His friend doc has marriage problems and seems to be his ONLY friend. then there's the director of the hospital. who's a lady.Add all this interaction and you get a very nice chemistry. House is always shooting down his subordinates and when Chase( the rich white ass' son) betrays him, he lamost literally plays and toys with him. oh, he's a great doc but he hates patients. Sounds weird right but he just like puzzles, i.e medical illnesses. That's why he always get the weird cases.
throughout the drama, they are plenty of unmissable and lovable quotes. e.g ' All patients lie.' or while refering to a pregnant woman ' You have a parasite inside your stomach'It's sarcastic humour, kinda like scrubs except scrubs is more from a 1st person's view while this is 3rd. This drama can be seen as the middle of scrubs and e.r, both which are equally great in it's own rights. This drama just carved out a niche in the overly crowded solve the mystery dramas. so definitely recommended to anyone, unless u're an overly sensitive guy. He does make some remarks about blacks or fat people but it's all in the humour and doesn't really step out of bound.
Next post, 24 maybe? been watchin too much dramas!
