Text Review: House

House: Season One | Own & Watch House: Season One | Universal Pictures

 

For my text review I have chosen one of my favorite TV series I have watched since I was a kid. The show is called House, is a medical drama that stars Dr. Greg House as a famous infectious disease specialist who solves medical mysteries with his team of young diagnosticians. He can be hard to work for as he likes to play mind games.

This show began its fame in November of 2004 and ended in 2012. Dr. House clashes with many colleagues as he picks up on subtle hints to get a diagnosis. Though his views are controversial, he is determined to find the diagnosis of every patient no matter how difficult it may be.

This show conveys many topics from our class, especially in season one when we first meet all the characters. Many characters have different ethnicities, religious attributes, and political outlooks. These topics come up often as Dr. House likes to rag on their appearance, ethnicities, and viewpoints. Season one showcases 22 episodes that revile how the team copes with all the torture as well as helping others at the same time. Even with the rags and blatant abuse from their superior, they know he is a genius, and they want to learn from him.

We see many examples on how he displays his viewpoints on a vast majority of controversial topics with humor mixed in. Just because he means it like a joke, does not always make it better and can be offensive. We have learned in this class to be observant, and more able to identify ways of seeing differences. We can see and learn from this show, mainly on how not to approach someone of different ethnicities, religions, and political stands. Between religion, gender, injustices, and race, this show comes together to help many people.
