    Some of House's callousness is an act, and sometimes the show lets the act go too far. But 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.
  2. 80
    The House-Wilson scenes bristle with edge and anguish. Their interplay builds through the hour to a staggering scene, one of the strongest in the show's history.
  3. The show pays more attention to relationships we care about, hints at a sensible number of new ones that show some promise, and thus doesn't rely on obscure medical mysteries to carry the whole dramatic burden.
  4. 60
    House seems a little off when it returns for its fifth season. My diagnosis: A chemistry imbalance.

    The best medical TV series out there. If you love sarcasm, this is for you.

    Even though we're in the 5th Season, the ingredients of humor, drama and suspense are still there.

    Sometimes repetitive, but flawless in every other aspect. Highly recommended.

    Circling the Soap Opera drain.
