chewbacca Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Season 5 starts on sky 1 tonight at 9 in the old "lost" slot. Really cracking TV hospital/drama/black comedy. Pishes all over ER, casuality, Greys anatomy etc. Who would`ve known Hugh Lawrie could be such a convincing crabbit American! Specially looking back to his time in Blackadder. If you`ve never watched any of it before, download/watch (think old eps show on hallmark channel) the season 4 double episode finale, it was an absolute belter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 ***SPOILER ALERT*** Patient gets ill, House finds an obscure illness about ten minutes in and he is "cured" for a few minutes before it turns out that House was wrong. Fifteen minutes later, House identifies another obscure disease, cures the lad for him to get rapidly worse and for the illness to be life threatening. Just before it is too late, usually ten minutes left in the show, House miraculously saves the guy, who actually had a really obscure disease. Next week, it is completely different, it is not a guy it is a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They test for it, though. btw, not having Sky, can anyone indicate where my wife (honest!) would be able to view this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the end of season 4 (or all of season 4) and you`ll see it`s not just as simplistic as you make it sound. Each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the whole season, downloaded torrents and watched through my PS3. The season starts off slow but the last half is brilliant. A Death, A Wedding and a very brave decision by the writers, a WTF moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, formulaic television shows are everywhere, that doesn't make them good. As I type, the missus is watching episode two of the series, I can confirm that my above spoiler was incorrect, I should change my references to plural version as opposed to singular options. That aside it is following the same, old, staid, formula. A show that did okay and has decided to just do the same thing all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit leading upto it was a pure Fight Club-Stylee mind-****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
