House (Seasons 1–8)

House (2004–2012) is the FOX medical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant diagnostician, cynic and pill-popper who trusts no patient's word — because everybody lies.

House limps on a cane, lives on Vicodin and despises bedside talk, yet he takes the cases nobody else can crack. At Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital he runs a team of younger doctors, works diagnoses by process of elimination, and spars with his boss Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) and his one real friend, oncologist Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard). Each episode is its own medical puzzle, where the symptoms only add up in the final minutes.

Across eight seasons the team cycled through Jennifer Morrison, Omar Epps, Olivia Wilde and Kal Penn, while creator David Shore modeled House on Sherlock Holmes — hence the habit of deducing illness like a crime. The show won five Emmy Awards and was once the most-watched series on the planet. Stream every season of House online on iFILM.
