Beloved noughties series once branded “one of the 10 best shows on TV” is delighting fans on this UK streamer

In the United Kingdom, Hugh Laurie’s medical drama is currently enjoying high popularity among viewers on Amazon Prime Video.

In this role, Laurie takes on the lead part of Dr. Gregory House, a skeptical yet extraordinarily talented physician dealing with a debilitating addiction issue.

Despite being well-known for his medical skills, Dr. House frequently butts heads with his peers at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital due to his unorthodox methods and disregard for established rules.

Over the years spanning 2004 to 2012, this show ran for a grand total of 177 episodes, and it continues to captivate viewers even now.

In the UK, you can stream all eight seasons of this popular show on Amazon’s video platform right now. Interestingly, Netflix made it available for viewing in their collection as early as April.

Originally praised as one of the top 10 TV shows by IGN Movies, House boasts an impressive 89% critical approval rating based on 78 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

The reviews for season 5 highly commended Laurie for his consistent portrayal of the bold doctor. Specifically, The Newark Star-Ledger stated: “House is Hugh Laurie. As long as he remains, the show will remain engaging to watch.

In every instance where you believe you understand how character House reacts, Laurie and the writing team delve even deeper into his complexities – it’s a similar feeling to when House thinks he’s braced for the worst, but things only become more challenging. This was noted by USA Today.

The Chicago Tribune stated that the show has established nearly unattainable benchmarks, making it consistently engaging and hard to look away.

The Orlando Sentinel noted: “Laurie manages to make viewers empathize with the difficult and arrogant character of Dr. Gregory House, a remarkable acting accomplishment.

All eight seasons of House are available to stream on Prime Video and Netflix.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy is out now! You can grab a copy of “Oasis – Live in ’25” at your local newsstands or purchase it online, now available for only £8.99.
