Ultimate DVD, 08/01/2006, p.78, 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he cases remain fascinating...and the technical jargon never gets in the way of the story. Clever, funny and eminently watchable..."
Movieline's Hollywood Life, 11/01/2006, p.107, "[W]hat elevates this show above the average procedural is the complicated web of relationships between the acerbic House and his fellow doctors."
Sight and Sound, 12/01/2006, p.90, "What makes it riveting is Hugh Laurie's mastery of the sarcastic put-down and some really ingenious conceits."

Part E.R. and part C.S.I., HOUSE is a medical mystery television show that's appealing due to its creative camerawork, interesting characters, and twisting plotlines. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a brilliant medical professional, but often alienates his patients and co-workers because of his abrasive manner and bitterness. In each episode House is faced with a person exhibiting a number of unusual symptoms, and along with his team of dedicated doctors and nurses, must discover what strange illness is afflicting the patient before it's too late. The show moves at a rapid pace, spurred by its turning and suspenseful plotlines and the lively interaction between the characters, played by a strong supporting cast that includes Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, and Sela Ward. HOUSE: SEASON TWO collects all 24 episodes of the program's second year.
