Because YouTube algorithms have been pushing highlights from 2000s drama House on me, I had to see if anybody out there agreed with me that it's garbage. And, sorry, Hugh Laurie but Reddit did not disappoint
Reddit user summarising Fox drama House by characterising the show as 'boomer fantasy TV'. The redditor goes on, "They're smart, and everybody else is dumb, so they have permission to treat others badly. "They're in pain, so they have permission to treat others badly. "They've had some bad luck in their life (House's illness), so they have permission to treat others badly. "They would have been even richer/more popular/better, except for things outside their control or maliciously done to them (House's injury and then his girlfriend picking the 'wrong' treatment). "People will beg for me to be around because I'm so special."
