So, opinions on House? I recently rewatched some of it and found it enjoyable but I feel like it's overrated even today...

Mega comfy kino show. Seriously, the soundtrack and setting make it so enjoyable to watch. I think the hospital aesthetic is kino in general when done well.

I started watching this months ago and dropped it harder than I've ever dropped a video essay when he completely and utterly misinterpreted the subtext of the episode about the underage hermaphrodite model. After that I couldn't take anything he said remotely seriously.

Any links to fan cuts, or just lists of what to watch if you want to skip the subplots?

How did he misinterpret it?

It's really good

missed opportunity.

He didn't seem to understand any of the subtext of the episode that got into child modeling, media sexualization, the mapping of sexual market value directly onto value as a human, and the contrast between the general public's view of media sexualization of minors compared to regular people sexualizing them. He just mapped his own baggage regarding trans issues onto the character as if hermaphroditism is necessarily interchangeable and functionally identical in the issues they face in the absence of the sexualization subtext, then took all the off color jokes at face value and assumed they were at the girl's expense. His conclusion was basically and I'm paraphrasing here, "Yikes this episode shouldn't exist and kind of ruins the show in the modern era to an extent." Then he typed up a huge response in the comments seething about people calling him out for being so blinded by his ideological baggage.

>6 episode in season 1
>half the women characters are dykes

At points it's brilliant, but 80% of the series is very formulaic and sometimes boring. It's still worth a watch IMO.

Doc Martin is better

I liked the essay, thanks for the rec m8

he's a misanthropic pill addicted but also brilliant doctor it is made in the usa and my favorite character is house that leads a team that each episode gets a diagnostic nut
the team gathers and say
>what diagnosis does this patient have
and one of the team goes
>blue
>ligma
and house says
>blue is a colour
>and ligma is too easy, come on porch monkey
and then house uses his catchphrase
>it's never lupine girls
and then everything is solved at the end by word associations ie someone saying
>I had a dream
then house says
>hold the crutches, did you say you have a dream?
>Thanks.
>I just said I had a dream
>Martin Luther King had a dream
>this patient has luther disease

hehe
you'd think after like 2 or three times they'd just learn to accept whatever he says as truth but no they must fight him even until seasons 6 !!!!!!

social studies major btw

It’s as good as I remember. I’ve been rewatching an episode every other night for the first time since it aired, currently mid season 2. Certified kino.

first two seasons are the best

they copied the mysteries from the Berton Roueché book, it was noticeable when they run out of stories

Bumping because I want to know as well.

It seems like the ideal way to watch but I'm not sure if such a thing exists or is even possible to coherently edit together. It seems that most of the character development is interspersed in small chunks mid episode or usually during the ending segment after the patient has begun to recover or has succumbed to their symptoms. It's really gradually dripfed out and as far as I remember it's often closely related to the episode's case and probably wouldn't make sense out of context. The payoffs are fantastic and really elevate the whole show far above where it should be, but unfortunately there's a lot of setup involved. If such a list or edit existed I'd be just as interested as you to know about it so I could potentially recommend it to people.

I rewatched season 1-5 multiple times, it comfy. Later season just too shitty. Things I don't care are:

relationsship of minor characters like Amber and Taub's wife
Kuttner being a Gary Sue in season 5
Cuddy's own episode
That completely non sensical reason why Wilson didn't want Cuddy to tell House the cortisol worked on the wheelman.

>constant shits on people for being fat and lying about their personal habits
Kino

Problem is s5 switched to 13 as main character.

>But how did this happen, Dr House?
>The patient is fat. And retarded. Fuck fat people.

>let's do a Sherlock Holmes remake but where Sherlock is ALSO a Doctor

i think this show would be a lot more controversial if released today. house is very skeptical of normal experts, methods, and bureaucracy.

God I would walk through a mile of shit and broken glass to hear her fart over a telephone
PEAK 13 was late-S7 btw

This guy knows

It’s my favourite show of all time. Incredibly formulaic but who watches the show for the medical mystery? It’s always been a vessel for humour and character drama; how House interacts with his patients, team, Cuddy and Wilson.
You really can’t find a show with better dialogue, character relationships and development. And unlike other shows it never really turns “bad.” Sure the show starts getting flanderized by S4 but even in S8 there are amazing episodes like the one where Chase gets stabbed, and unlike most shows every character is likeable (minus the Asian bitch at the end).

House is great, its at its best when they are having fun with it instead of treating it very seriously.

Not really overrated, nobody even brings it up that much these days.
It's a great show that couldn't be made today. The best parts are the personal plot scenes and banter with Wilson, but the cases are mostly interesting too.
The two main issues are:
>House becomes more and more incredible and gets away with things he shouldn't get away with
>the casting choices later in the show

>S1-3 best team, great overarching plots, must watch
>S4-5 team change (not that great), best season endings in the series
Show could have ended here
>S6 House deals with personal issues, interesting but the formula change might throw you off, kino season ending
>S7 overarching plot is House and Cuddy's relationship and House's issues
>S8 House deals with consequences from S7 ending; overall a weird season but worth it for the kino Chase arc

Foreman gets fired for saving a guy lmao what the fuck was up with that??

I really enjoyed the episode" informed consent"

This is true. You just have to watch the show.

>this verbal diarrhea
kys

kekd

It's good yeah. If you like that, watch Doc Martin. It's the comfiest thing you'll see all year.

What would House think about the vaxx and the coof?

House is definitely pro-vaccine but he’s also anti-big pharma (as evidenced with Vogler). He’d probably call people who don’t get the COVID shot “idiots” but he’d resent big pharma getting up in everyone’s grill.
And he’d almost certainly not see COVID as a big deal and instead just make a bunch of Chinese jokes

House was a novel lead character at the time. Now it feels less original and a lot of it feels like filler but the decent episodes still hold up.

Season 1 meningitis episode, everyone was wearing masks he didn't bother

house is a gary stu

Why? He’s not always right, he’s almost always eventually right.

George Foreman accidentally MRSA killing his patient was kino

house is a broken character, full of flaws, who often fucks up, not just the medicine stuff, but relationships, and basically anything and everything
how is that a gary stu?

Thanks for the chortle

It's great, just don't binge watch it. If you watch maybe an episode a day or every other day it's great and you won't get bored. Unironically watched all seasons maybe three times in bits and pieces over the last couple of years.

>Doesn't even get most of LE SCIENCE behind medicine right.

Nah, MD's have looked at it and said it was generally pretty righteous.

One has a website on the subject.

> (OP)
>Its great but not meant for binging like other anons said
>Watch this btw youtu.be/xwbB7XkjwHw

Binges just fine.

happens all the time irl btw

Maybe it's because I the show, but i don't get why everyone is saying you can't binge it. I feel like everything aside from the last half of S8 binges fine.

yeah, should have eneded with 5, or maybe a little into 6.

1-5= House-- Search for cure
6 on=Producers--Seach for money.

Masters is best girl

First few seasons were great. I liked the American Beauty background music they used all the time.

I like House, he's just like me.
I also like Chase, Foreman, and Taub, but they are not like me.

Procedurals like House are ideal binges because you get a new case each episode while also being able to keep up with the overarching storyline hour by hour instead of being dripfed 10 minutes of it a week

>Foreman: I’m sorry House tried to use my dad to manipulate you. You've got integrity. You aren't going to change your mind just because you're confronted by my father.
>Cuddy: Thank you.
>Foreman: Just like I'm not going to forgive you just because you come by and ask how I'm feeling.
>Cuddy: You know I've had no choice...
>Foreman: Of course you've had a choice!
>Cuddy: Regulations are clear--
>Foreman: And the punishment for violating those regulations?! Is it death? Hmm? Because, frankly, I'm okay if you get a fine, a suspension...hell, you can spend a couple years in jail if it saves my life!

getting a little too uppity there, eric

It's interesting at first but it gets extremely formulaic quickly. And the attempts to mix things up later on, like with the awkward shoehorned relationshit or "the one where House gets institutionalized", don't work for me

Best 2 episodes in the first 3 seasons.

we are all going to die don't be a baby

god I fucking hate medical students

best of what? best of jelly?

Chase is the hottest doctor and Cameron is the cutest doctor olivia wilde is just gaaaaaaay

It's shit to binge watch because every single episode follows the same structure. The medical stuff is all wrong, Hugh Laurie is kino, but Season 2's Cameron never gets raped so it's like a 6/10 show.
