I’ve been a fan of House M.D. for a long time now and it always amazes me how the show gets better and better. I haven’t actually caught up fully with where the show is at the moment – I think it’s towards the end of series 7 on the TV but I’m only on series 5 – but I think the writers deserve a lot of praise for taking what is essentially the same concept each week and making it interesting, while all the time developing the characters.
At the moment Wilson is trying to get over losing his girlfriend Amber. I was really surprised when she died – I thought she was going to fade into the background as a minor character – but the death of Wilson’s girlfriend does open up a whole load of other possibilities. I’m only at the start of season five so I haven’t got to the point of whether House is going to survive as a friend with Wilson, but I’m looking forward to finding out.
The other thing I love about the series is how strong the characters are. When the three new employees were introduced the first time I thought it was going to be a disaster for the show as the other characters had been developed so much. Luckily this wasn’t the case as the new characters have turned out to be interesting in a completely different way to the others. This definitely isn’t something that’s easy to do! Anyway, I hope I haven’t spoiled part of the show for anyone reading this!
