Synopsis
Part E.R. and part C.S.I., HOUSE is a medical mystery television show that's appealing due to its creative camerawork, interesting characters, and twisting plotlines. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a brilliant medical professional, but often alienates his patients and co-workers because of his abrasive manner and bitterness. In each episode House is faced with a person exhibiting a number of unusual symptoms, and along with his team of dedicated doctors and nurses, must discover what strange illness is afflicting the patient before it's too late. The show moves at a rapid pace, spurred by its turning and suspenseful plotlines and the lively interaction between the characters, played by a strong supporting cast that includes Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, and Sela Ward. House: Season Two collects all 24 episodes of the programme's second series.

Customer Reviews

Endlessly Interesting, but not to all tastes
After easing viewers into the abrasive honesty and bitterness of Doctor Gregory House in series one, this series takes things that bit further, as Doctor House upsets even more people, flouts even more medical ethics, and infuriates his fellow doctors even more.

House can be hilariously funny, but not to everyone's tastes. If you are easily offended, don't watch this series, since every kind of patient is fair game for Doctor House' shocking but often very accurate observations. He doesn't discriminate; he just says what's on his mind, all of the time, and this understandably upsets many of his patients, culminating in a serious confrontation with one of his patients at the end of this series.

Other highlights in this series include the frequent repartee between House and his friend, and fellow doctor, Wilson, played by Robert Sean Leonard. Wilson's constant attempts to try and psychoanalyze House, as well as his many witty comebacks are very enjoyable to watch. The relationships between House and his three main subordinates, Chase, Cameron and Foreman also make interesting viewing.

This programme has a lot to offer in terms of confronting issues which affect all humans, and it also has much to say on human nature, and where exactly most humans stand when it comes to brutal honesty. Approached with an open mind, this series will amuse and interest. Just don't watch it if you're easily offended, or the sheer convincing rudeness of Hugh Laurie's performance will have you shouting with outrage.

"House call"
Cannot praise this show, it is rubbish don't waste your time...NOT..LOve it again the Genius of House md will make you think about LIFE from all angles, can we handle it, bring it on.

TV programming at its greatest!
House M.D. is the greatest show on TV, Dr Houses personality is the greatest attraction of the show, Imagine the opposite of what you would expect from a doctor and you have House. Controversial, stubborn, confrontational and doesnt give two hoots about anyones opinion.

Foreman, Chase and Cameron are Houses punching bag along with Dr. Cuddy, then theres Dr. Wilson the one who has any kind of friendship with House. Season 2 has some of the best episodes as yet, 'Euphoria Pt 1' and 'Pt 2' are both excellent as well as 'All in'.

The programme is still going strong on its fourth season now and this DVD box set would make a good addiotion to anyones collection!
