Critics' reviews

"One of the series' primary strengths is the way the writers and the star keep us guessing as to where that act ends and reality begins (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"Laurie gives House a kind of negative charisma that is fascinating to watch, and likable in its way."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"The show's characters are flat and so is the writing, but there is something universally appealing about blood, guts and a rushing gurney."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"'House' is formula. But what saves it from just being formula is Laurie, who as Dr. House has already made me laugh out loud several times."

Paul Brownfield: Los Angeles Times
"Funny, probing and unsentimental (...) As an honest look at techno-medicine and the prerogatives of genius, it's a tonic."

James Poniewozik: Time
"The result is medical TV at its most satisfying and basic (...) With 'House', we are in the hands of professionals"

John Leonard: New York Magazine
"'House' introduces us to the most electrifying new main character to hit television in years"

Tom Shales: The Washington Post
"[Laurie] is the reason for watching this 'CSI'/'ER' hybrid that is highly repetitive, yet always compelling (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
