    Very few series do a favour to their viewers like this

    This documentary gives another perspective to the show and the creators behind it. It showed their passion, especially Hugh Laurie's. I've seen all the extra insights for each season too and I'm glad I came across this one as well . A must see-one for everyone thinking of themselves as a House enjoyer.

    Wonderful insight after the series

    Love this documentary I wish I knew it existed years ago! So heartwarming and glorious to see some of the best parts included with the amazing crew talking about many aspects of the show. The ins and outs how some of it was is magical! I so wish I was part of a film crew it's so lovely.

    Not overly revealing, nor interesting

    As the series is about to wrap up for good, the cast and crew of the TV series House look back on the 8 seasons of it. Included are interviews with most of the main actors, plus many of the unseen faces - the crew. Hosted by Hugh Laurie.

    Quite dry, and not particularly interesting. I was hoping that it would be highly nostalgic and teach me new things about the making of the show, and the making of TV shows in general. It doesn't really satisfy in either regard, ending up feeling a bit smug and self-promotional, rather than edifying.

    Not all bad though - always good to see the actors out of character, plus see a few faces we haven't in a while (e.g. Jennifer Morrison).

    Swansong

    Well it came, it was here, it went and now its gone.

    House was a fantastic series and now that its over i'm nostalgic for the time it first aired. I'm forever happy and grateful for this series. One of the few shows i could enjoy with family.

    Easily one of my favourites and always will be, giving us a peak to the insights of the minds behind House was a nice treat.

    While this tribute of sorts wasn't anything fantastical, it was still nice to get a little bit of the behind-the-scenes take on things.

    I appreciate that they did this and honestly, thinking about it now, I wish more shows would.

    I would end it right there but I would be remiss if I did not point out that any show entering this endeavour, would also have to be globally renown, as House was.

    Spawning I believe 2 remakes in other countries, and an historic run for an evening drama that used to air on MONDAYS!

    For a North American show going head-to-head with Monday Night Football, Monday Night Raw, the epiplex of the sports & entertainment world as well as any competing networks' broasdcast is quite a feat.

    So a profound "Thank You" to all involved.
