Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This season gets you going emotionally, so many relevant things happening all the time, you get sad, angry, happy, it's a mess; at this point, this show's got everything. Amber's death adds more to the plot than any scene while she was alive. By the end of the season, you can't really wait to start the next one and the show's consistency without ever allowing you any boredom whatsoever is just impressive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review steve d Some predictable story elements drag it down a bit, but the show is still a lot of fun and well acted.

      Robin Oliver Sydney Morning Herald Most welcome it is. Feb 28, 2018 Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post Lucas the PI (Michael Weston) is such a good addition, I really hope he stays. He's an investigator like House - and as acerbic, if not as jaded. Rated: 3/4 Sep 16, 2008 Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Laurie makes you care about Dr. Gregory House, that nasty, condescending genius -- no easy acting feat. Sep 16, 2008 Full Review James Chamberlin IGN Movies Despite my issues with certain aspects of this season, House remains one of the ten best shows on television. Rated: 8.1/10 Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Jane Clifton Stuff.co.nz House's writers have hit on a formula-tweak to freshen up their grumpy doctor's schtick. Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide My favorite sort of cliff-hanger is the emotional crisis, and House delivered a whopper in the shattered bromance of doctors House and Wilson.
