Movie Reviews of House, M.D.: Season Two
Movie Review: House, Grand Again
Summary: 5 Stars
The excitement leading to last year's second season premiere was richly rewarded by this outstanding sophomore outing. No disappointments here. If anything, the stories, writing, acting and guest appearances in Season 2 of House were far superior to those of the first season. In particular, the extraordinarily courageous and fierce performance of Hugh Laurie as House seared the screen in every episode. He and series creator David Shore were not afraid to send their lead character down a darkening path toward self-doubt and destruction. The show's trademark scathing wit, poignant insights, and twisty medical storytelling continue strongly evident in this second season. Complicated and nuanced portrayals by excellent supporting actors Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, and Omar Epps make this season one to treasure. Showcasing worthy guest stars like Sela Ward, Cynthia Nixon, Charles Dutton, and Ron Livingston, this season boldly established House as the top drama on television, bar none. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Another House , MD obsessE
Summary: 5 Stars
As a RN who caught on to this mid first season of show, I can tell you that I am completely obessed with the characters, premise of the medical 'who done it' and of course with the heartstopping Hugh Laurie. This is thought provoking, ethical stretching (I hide my face or scream at House to stop doing what he's doing) and medically challenging. Favorite episodes? "Autopsy" is heartbreaking with pediatric girl and House' response. "Daddy's Boy" is an opening into his relationship with his parents that leaves you wanting more to reveal his damaged emotional background. "House vs God" has deep theological vs scientific debate which is a great spin on this controversy. "Euphoria" lets Omarr Epps shine - also great insight into this character's makeup. Cliffhanger "No Reason" was so well written with its plot twists and viewpoint - gotta get this Season to appreciate ensemble, awe of the medicine and again the charm/craziness of "House".Movie Review: ...and the show goes on
Summary: 5 Stars
I was happy my wife "turned me on" to this show. It is a great deal of fun to watch. The only problem I have with the show is Dr. House always has his subordinates perform procedures that in a real hospital environment would be done by others. I am an X-ray/CT technician. I have been working in this capactiy for over 3 years and never has a doctor come into my deparment to do one of the studies I am trained and paid to do. But I understand that this it T.V. so they cut corners for entertainment purposes. I truly enjoy when House has to deal with patients who come in for problems that are a result of their own idiocy. He explains to them in no uncertain terms just how stupid they are and why they have the problem they do. I frequently deal with people like this. But not being a Doctor on T.V. I politely answer the questions to the best of my ability, do the requested exams and go about my merry way. I look forward to the next season.Movie Review: It's not Lupus.

Great picture, great show -- GET IT!!!
House is a great show. I had no idea what I was getting in to the first time I watched it, but I'm hooked -- BIG TIME. Unlike many shows, this one continues to grow and stay "GOOD" at the same time. Many shows hit about 5 seasons and just stink... This show has remained great.
The DVD itself has great picture. I have an upsampling DVD (for what it's worth) and a 1080p 42" TV... picture is better on DVD than it would be on cable, obviously. The special features and "behind the scenes" stuff is pretty funny too. It really makes you think twice about the actors playing the characters. I had just come to take them for granted as the actual CHARACTER. That's how great the show is -- you forget they're normal people who have no clue what the difference is between neoplasia and hyperplasia. I could google more big medical terms, but you get the idea.
Movie Review: Even better than the first season
Summary: 5 Stars
House M.D. returns after a successful first season, and this time there's more suspense, more humor, more bizarre medical cases, and more romantic involvements. Along with Laurie, Epps, Sean Leonard, Edelstein, Morrison, and Spencer comes Sela Ward (who also appeared in the last two episodes of Season One). She plays House's former love who starts to question her own desires while living happily with her present husband Mark. Also, throughout this season, Doctor House tries to find more ways to deal with not only the pain in his leg, but also the pain in his heart. And the results and consequences will shock you and make you think more critically.
All the actors and actresses (even those who play the patients and their loved ones) give out splendid performances here. And although every episode has its faults, there are still many highlights that are either delightful or horrifying.
