Editor's Note
Celebrated for its withering wit and complex medical mysteries, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning drama HOUSE stars Hugh Laurie as a moody, wisecracking diagnostician with a predilection for painkillers and impossible cases. In season five, House is working--though not cooperating--with his team, now composed of Foreman (Omar Epps), Taub (Peter Jacobson), Kutner (Kal Penn), and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde), while Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Chase (Jesse Spencer) help out in other positions. Medical mysteries abound in this season--including an artist with acute onset visual agnosia, a personal trainer who collapsed mid-run, and a hallucinating priest--and Thirteen struggles with her own Huntington?s disease diagnosis. But the non-medical drama is just as engaging, as romantic entanglements grow more knotted and a shocking death occurs in the second half of the year. The fifth season includes guest stars such as rapper/actor Mos Def, Zeljko Ivanek (DAMAGES), and Carl Reiner (OCEAN?S ELEVEN).

 | House, M.D. Season Five - DVD Review By: Barbara Barnett - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 9/1/2009 7:27 AM | | Of course, as fans of the series know, the show is meant to be viewed multiple times. The dense, layered and intricate scripts can’t be fully enjoyed without a second, third, or maybe fourth, viewing. The nuances of the story, connections and glacial changes in the main characters are easily missed while trying to keep up with the rapid-fire dialogue and fast pacing of each story (whether it’s the medical mystery or character drama) and subplot. And the understated genius of Hugh Laurie’s performance can’t be really appreciated in just one screening. (Hear that Emmy voters?)...read the full review |
