Snippets from the medical drama "House M.D." showed up in my feed and ... well, it's like potato chips: it's hard to eat just one,
They edit the episodes into tasty 10 minute clips. Sometimes you get the major plot with the solution at the end, sometimes not. I've seen the same episode edited differently to highlight different plot elements but it's all to pull you in.
I turn away for the icky and needle parts but it's like a soap opera - it draws you in. The medical mysteries pull you in, the personal interactions (did I say soap opera?) pull you in and you are constantly left wondering how the hell these people - especial Doctor House - still have their licenses. Honestly it's like Animal House in a hospital setting. The bullying, the sexual harassment, unethical medical practices, the juvenile pranks - what a mess. The hospital should have been submerged in lawsuits.
The writing has pulled me in. I got to stop watching. It's just not good for my brain - like potato chips and my waistline.
The character of Gregory House is an ass. He may be brilliant but he's still an ass.
