Excellent series, a shame and disgrace that's only available for Region 1 DVD's and only with Spanish subtitles. When do you expect to make available the Region 2 version??????

House is simply one of the best dramas to come out of the US in recent times. It's funny, sarcastic, thought provoking and occassionally very very emotional (even if House himself doesn't really 'do' emotion.)
Hugh Laurie is fantastic as the lead charecter and the supporting cast are also very good. Definately one to watch!

There are dozens of reasons not to like House - it is outrageously formulaic, ludicrously far-fetched and often overly contrived and laboured - it is also one of the most wonderful television shows I have had the pleasure of watching. The pithy dialogue, thoughful direction and most of all, the beautifully measured acting of the central cast more than make up for any shortcomings. Hugh Laurie delivers a tour-de-force performance as the flawed genius - proving my long held theory that genuinely great dramatic performances are best achieved by casting comedians. The supporting cast, whilst always playing second-fiddle to Laurie, are equally competent performers and the will-they-won't-they relationship between House and Dr Cameron (the gorgeous Jennifer Morrison) provides a welcome romantic subplot - although is strangely remensicent of the Grissom/Sara relationship in CSI. All-in-all this show is (almost despite itself) captivating and I challenge anyone to not be so obsessed with its protaganist that by the penultimate episode - easily the season's best - they will be aching to know more about what makes this man tick. I absolutely recommend without question this genius piece of television gold.

one of the best new tv shows to come out of the U.S for a while. If you like CSI then you will probably like this. Hugh Laurie is fantastic as the damaged but brilliant Dr House. i hope this takes off in the UK as it certainly deserves to

This is possibly the greatest medical drama programe ever. It really puts E.R. to shame showing how repetetive and boring their story lines have really gotten. It is also one of the best first seasons I have seen in a long time. A great cast that work well together including Jesse Spencer of Neighbour's fame and Hugh Laurie from the Stuart Little movies. A must for anyone who likes good TV.
