    It's my "comfort food" show even though it has lots of cringe shit. It's fun to watch it and count how many times have they gotten away with just giving a patient a secret tumor and paraneoplastic syndrome. which is funny because the meme is that it's always lupus, but it's never lupus, it's the other autoinmune-ish disease that comes with cancer. The thing that aged the worst wasn't house being a reddit-brained savant, it's the drug thing.

        it's not HIS drug addiction that aged poorly, but how drug use is portrayed. sometimes it's fine but most of the time it's some sort of moral failing. sometimes foreman or chase are on the wrong side for blatantly dehumanizing their drug or alcohol abusing patients, but sometimes they aren't and drug abuse was the key to the case, and house gets to do an epic moral beatdown. sometimes he actually emphathizes through his own drug addiction. you can obviously tell this show has had a number of script writers.
