Featured review
Just another flew over the cuckoos nest..... absolutely brilliant
The words are many to describe this masterpiece; the 6th season opening wasn't just the continue of what many thought it would be, but absolutely better; and though the 5th season end up leaving us all open-mouthed, you've watch this new episode with the exact same feeling than when watching a great movie.
Laurie's outstanding performance, though excellent, wasn't as in past the screw that make the whole series to function but just one of the many elements that altogether make this new episode the best one ever written. Unexpected twists, imminent changes, all part of this new season that seem to re-deign the basics of House itself, not leaving behind those many element we all love, but adding those new ones that as presented in this episode seem to get House MD to a next level of greatness. Although positive comments are back and forth there are those to seem unsatisfied even disappointed to miss the sarcastically mean doctor we've deal with in the past years, but well not with the intention to keep my information bias I'll say "thing never change", and if many think this was the beginning of episodes were house is cured and dancing around with his fellow mates, you might be wrong, not just because he use a cane and find it very hard to dance, but because it wouldn't be house, and people do love house! You may all think this is not a very rational argument but, after being one of the most viewed series of all times, do you think writers are thinking to change it?... not! This, as the past seasons, open with an interesting, I might say amazing, plot; and despite the fact that this 6th do give the impression to be facing one very different House, the thing that worries me the most is not to be with a magically gay house, but to watch another season in which house pop pills, walk around in the exact same hospital, jerk everyone around and basically keep being exactly the SAME.
So, regardless of any glance of House being "changed" I absolutely, and with no doubt give 10 out of 10! For cast, plot, settings, direction, effects, for giving the opportunity to those who in the past never saw House to get involved in this amazing series, for letting us to flew one more time over the cuckoos nest but more importantly for giving us House's fans THE BEST EPISODE EVER, PROBABLY THE BEST SEASON AS WELL.
