"What this means, to my dismay, is that I spent five entire days, five hours and 15 minutes of this autumn watching this series. In my defence, when I embarked on this rewatch, I was going through quite a trying time in my life. But I would find it difficult to excuse the fact that I didn't just watch some House to take the edge off things, but attempted every single episode. It's a deranged television programme."
"House kidnaps the star of his favourite medical soap opera because he has diagnosed him with a brain tumour just by watching him on TV. House pays an actor to pretend to die so that he can freak out his staff by bringing her back to life in the morgue. House performs surgery on his own leg in his bathtub to excise the tumours he got from taking medicine only approved for use on rats."
A person rewatched nearly all 177 episodes of House, totaling five days, five hours and 15 minutes, during a difficult autumn. The rewatch occurred while the person was experiencing a trying time. The series contains numerous bizarre plotlines, including kidnapping a soap star after diagnosing a tumour from TV, staging a fake death in a morgue, self-operating in a bathtub to remove rat-approved drug tumours, and a team member confronting a suicidal patient later revealed as a serial killer. Episodes follow a consistent structure: illness, diagnosis, misdiagnosis, House's improbable insight, and cure. Enjoyment waned but the person could not stop.
