House

Dr. Gregory House is a brilliant, unconventional, and misanthropic medical prodigy who leads a team of diagnosticians at the Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Facing constant challenges with his own medical ethics and the skepticism of his colleagues, House utilizes his sharp intellect and unorthodox methods to solve complex and baffling medical cases that baffle other doctors. His personal life is often as tumultuous as his professional one, marked by his addiction to Vicodin and a strained relationship with his boss, Dr. Cuddy.
