    The eighth-season premiere is an enjoyable tangent, with House solving a medical mystery behind bars, but nothing can hide the by-the-numbers plot.

    After watching 4 episodes I think this season is by far the best house season for a while, Hugh is doing an amazing job as usual, the humor is spot on, I like the new cast members ... lets hope they keep up the good work… Expand

    Although still not good as first four season, this one brings everything we loved in the series back. there are funny clinic scenes and house is again an arrogant jerk. If you liked the first series you will fell in love with it back.… Expand

    To me looks like someone else took over the role of producer / director, and tried to continue what House made great: but is not capable of doing it properly. Discussions and themes are unnecessarily made complex to look 'intelligent', 13 is gone and her replacer 'hot chick' is a nice looking wallpaper who has no personal life and is therefore always poking in the patient's social life and House himselves doesn't solve a single case any more: His team just does about everything, he nodds at everything and every treatment, and they fail like 8-9 times before someone is 'cured'. And, never noticed this in earlier seasons, the patient always breaks with his partner (wife, husband) while lying in the hospital. Every episode again. For the first seasons, I wish i was in House' hospital. Then i knew i was going to be cured and fixed by the smartest doctor living in the world. Now, as from this season, i hope i never end up in that hospital. They will kill me at least twice during my stay there, make sure i get a divorce without reason and probably destroy my liver, lungs, brains and pancreas: like they do in every episode once again. Predictable.… Expand
