Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
He pops pills, watches soaps, and always, always says what's on his mind. He's Dr. Gregory House (Emmy nominee Hugh Laurie, Blackadder). Producers David Shore, Bryan Singer, Katie Jacobs, and Paul Attanasio haven't rewritten the hospital drama, but they've infused a moribund genre with new life and created one of TV's most compelling characters.

More than any previous medical procedural, it resembles Attanasio's underrated Gideon's Crossing, but House is lighter on its feet. As fascinating as he is, the show wouldn't work as well if it were all House all the time (that would be like Sherlock Holmes without Watson or Moriarty). Fortunately, he's joined by an intriguing cast of characters, portrayed by a combination of experienced vets (Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Tony winner Robert Sean Leonard) and new faces (Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer). Aside from the complicated cases they tackle each week, the sparks really fly when House's brilliant, if naïve charges are put to the test--and as the head of a teaching hospital, it's his job to test them (although his tough love approach is constantly landing him in hot water with Edelstein's administrator).

From the first episode, House attracted a talented array of guests, including Robin Tunney ("Pilot"), Joe Morton ("Role Model"), and Patrick Bauchau ("Cursed") as Spencer's father. In addition, Chi McBride and Sela Ward appear frequently (with Ward returning for the second season). Viewers who first watched these 22 episodes will be gratified to note that the music has survived the transition to disc, such as the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want," as featured in both the pilot and season finale ("Honeymoon"). The only apparent omission is the credit theme (Massive Attack's "Teardrop") from the pilot. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Give the patient season 1 of House - Stat
I was a latecomer to 'House' but better late than never.

Hugh Laurie plays the miserable yet brilliant Dr. House with some style. You almost forget he is a Brit.

I have watched many hospital dramas - ER, St Elsewhere, Casualty, etc, as there is something uniquely engaging about the medical environment. Those series have been mainly dramas while House is something else. It's a part drama, part sit-com and part geeky medical show.

The basic premise involves ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Truly Brilliant
House, can only be described as brilliant. Not in the way as a teenager would describe it in the way of being cool or just generally entertaining, but brilliant as in genius. I could talk about season one for hours as it's truly the season that defines the character and sets in stone Hugh Laurie's cracking of America. Hugh Laurie, for those who don't know is a famous British comic actor best known for his work with Stephen Fry. Such shows as Jeeves & Wooster, A Bit of Fry & Laurie & Blackadder made ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Hospital Show I have ever seen
It took me a while to get into that 'House'-mood.
Many friends had already recommended the show but I stayed away in fear of seeing just 'another' hospital show.
After 4 years, I have finally decided to sit down and watch it. And thank god I did. This is by far the best hospital 'drama' that I have ever seen.
I was always a fan of ER and was very sad when I saw it jump the shark and I am so happy to have found a new addiction.
I don't believe that there is a need to explain the ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - this is a rubbish release
I will boycott any DVD UNIVERSAL releases from now on!!! Just a poor box without any extras or even subtitles - so what?

Crap! This is the best argument for downloaders - don't support this company!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Where's the words?
The pan and scan was bad enough, but no subtitles? I bought this for my hard-of-hearing mum but had to return it and go for the region 1 version.
