House is one of those shows everyone watched at least one episode of while zapping through their TV. I’m one of those people who didn’t immediately get into it, having only watched a couple of episodes from the first season and never the whole show.
Too Good, Too Much
When I found it on Netflix, I decided to give it a try. The show is obviously good, but at some point, I was tired of it and stopped watching for a while (8 seasons in a row is just too much). When I started it back up, I was able to follow through and finish it; however, I didn’t have the same level of interest as before…
That happened to me with other good "doctor shows," like The Good Doctor or New Amsterdam. They just end up tiring you out.
Not Totally Right, Not Totally Wrong
The puzzles are the best part of the show, of that I have no doubt. But it does lack something. In the beginning, I felt like we should get to know the team better, as actual people, their personal life, their tastes, their problems, their motivations, and doubts, but then… I didn’t like it when that actually started to happen.
I can’t explain why, if it was their stories, the way these were introduced to the audience, the situations that seemed a bit forced into the middle of random scenes… It turned out to be more boring than I had expected, and the only reason I watched it was for the interesting medical cases.
The constant team changes, the constant “you are fired” and “you are not fired anymore” without any logic or reason, were just unnecessary and contrived.
Good Show, Far From Perfect
Generally speaking, it was an undeniable good show, with a huge fandom, which is probably why the flaws seem to stand out. Besides, like many others, the more seasons it has, the worse it loses some of its qualities over time.
The finale was another major problem from my point of view. The end might look very philosophical, but I found it illogical, a bit out of context and it ended up throwing me off what could’ve been better closure to the show.
