I liked this show because House's character, but I was oblivious to most of their medical conversations.
An advice: Don't watch it unless you understand a lot of medical terminology.
Hugh Laurie brings the house down in this role. sorry, I just had to make that pun. If you want to be utterly entertained by a self-destructive Vicodin addict as he childishly plays God with the lives of his patients and root for him every step of the way as he does it, then this is the series for you.
