House

At Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey, brilliant diagnostician Dr. Gregory House tackles baffling medical cases that stump everyone else. Cynical, rule-breaking, and dependent on pain medication, he pushes his handpicked team to question every assumption and follow the evidence wherever it leads. Each case becomes a tense puzzle of symptoms, secrets, and shifting theories, as House’s sharp mind and abrasive style collide with hospital politics, colleagues, and his own limits.

House follows Dr. Gregory House, a legendary diagnostician whose job is solving the rare, complex illnesses other doctors can’t explain. Working at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, he leads a rotating team of young physicians through intense rounds of brainstorming, risky tests, and constant revisions of their theories as new clues appear. House’s methods are unconventional: he distrusts easy answers, challenges patients’ stories, and often breaks protocol to get results. His prickly demeanor and reliance on pain medication strain relationships, especially with hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy, who must balance his value against the chaos he causes. The one person who consistently cuts through House’s defenses is his closest friend, oncologist Dr. James Wilson. Blending medical mystery with character-driven drama and dark humor, the series explores how ambition, ethics, and personal demons shape the practice of medicine.
