Title: Incredibly funny, and yet deeply moving character.....
Review: I have to admit that I was shocked to find out that it was Hugh Laurie playing the title role in this series. I had only known him as Bertie Wooster in the Jeeves and Wooster comedies. I had my doubts as to whether he could handle a role that was so totally different from what I usually associated with him.But, my reservations were quickly swept aside as I watched him take on this incredibly funny, and yet quite often, tragic role of Dr. Gregory House. I've never seen a more moving portrayal of a deeply flawed human being, struggling with drug addiction, constant physical pain, and a cynical, caustic outlook on life. My congratulations to the cast, creators , and writers of this show---this one is a real winner!
