When you need a cure and a whole bunch of sarcasm, who do you call?
No not the ghostbusers but Gregory House.
The famous diagnostician from the magnificant show House M.D.
A very funny, but also intelligent TV serie that uses a lot of sarcasm.
Altough if you a bit slow-witted you will have a hard time appreciating House's humor.
The plot: House (Hugh Laurie) is an antihero and a diagnostic doctor but not just any diagnostic doctor...he is concidered to be the best in his field. He his extremely intelligent but this also makes him very cynical about pretty much everything in the world because he thinks outside the box and this makes him see the downside of even the most positive things you can imagine like love, birth, religion, etc. He has always lead a depressing life due to the fact that he was abused by his father, who was a marine, during his childhood and was later on kicked out of university for cheating which shattered his dreams of becoming a physicist.
Then, approximately a decade before the pilot, house was shot in his right leg during a paintball match and caused serious damage to his muscle tissue which had to be removed causing excruciating pain for the rest of his life. To ease his pain House started taking vicodin and got hooked resulting in him becoming a mild junkie. Now he solves mystery medical cases that no one can solve with assistance from his four to five men team.
Along with his best friend James Wilson, who is the head of oncology in the same hospital, and Lisa Cuddy, the head of the hospital and the love of his life, he tries to solve the cases he get's on his desk...no matter what or how far he has to go to get to the truth. While at the same time he has to try and keep his social life in balance which is a hard thing for house to do because he's a straight up asshole.
This always results in to disastrous, but also hilarious situations.
Here's a compilation of a couple of funny moments in the fifth season
The verdict: without a doubt an excellent show that desirves a 8.9/10
