I don't know if anyone has seen this American drama starring Hugh Laurie, but if you haven't, I thoroughly recommend it.
Some would call this series standard American tv fare based on tried and tested formulaic methods and this is true, but it is also very well written and Hugh Laurie is brilliant.
I haven't watched any episodes of House for about 7-8 years. I got up to about the fourth season and let it "rest" there for a "while." American tv series' are long and all time consuming and after watching around 40 episodes, decided that was enough for then. But, I've picked up where I left off with this series and it is still as fresh now as it was back when it was originally aired on tv.
The show is very humorous and basically a medical version of Sherlock Holmes. House has to solve the mystery while insulting his underlings and making sexist remarks to his female boss as well as constant un PC jokes about blacks, Jews and disabled people to boot and all within a 45 minute episode. I love it!
For a time, Hugh Laurie was the highest paid actor on American tv, he deserved it. You wouldn't know, going by his performance in this tv show, that he is in fact a pompous British actor. I never did like him in any of his British shows, I utterly hated Jeeves and Wooster as an example, but this is fabulous.
