Yeah the cases were fun and formulaic, but my favorite parts were seeing the moments House was confronted with his mental health. The guy cared a lot and had no idea how to deal with it.
Almost killed them. Almost killed them. Almost killed them. Amazing cure found in the last 5 minutes.
I'd really liked to have seen him be right on the first try more often to justify the ego.
wasnt he normally only wrong cause the patient was lying to him? a kind of allegory for telling the truth or something idk
I apologize, but during that time we just were so disillusioned by heros, we couldn't bear them in our fiction. So we invented the "deeply flawed good guy hero".
Invented? Lol,
Dude is a super genius finding clues where others can't whose name starts with an H with a close friend and companion whose name starts W.
Should they have just kept Holmes and Watson instead of House and Wilson to make it clear that it is Sherlock Holmes M.D.?
yes, but the "FLAWED" dial is turned up to 11 in House md compared to the original.
Oh wow also "homes" (Holmes) vs "house" really makes it less subtle than I thought...

It was a show that definitely followed a rigid format
Excellent satire indeed. Also highlights how having experience with personal medical issues can help broaden perspective on how to help others.
