I don't like Hugh Laurie, but that's not his fault. He just works with what he's given. Even the TERRIBLE scripts he was given on a Saturday Night Live episode were done as well as he could manage. I respect him; I just don't like him.
I thought "House" was an absolutely unrealistic and frightening show. Were MY Doctor stoned all of the time and getting away with it, I would be terrified. It made me want to carefully observe the pupils of every Doctor I meet in ERs (and I still do).
Thought that this show would be different, since Hugh is, after all, merely an actor. But this show DRAGGED. It was BORING.
I made it through the entire first season, somehow managing to stay awake, because I am home-bound and have nothing better to do.
Again, it's unrealistic with it's fantasy quack psychology-base, there's not enough action to keep me interested, and I had to speed past so much irrelevant sex that the episodes were much shorter than purported (which was actually a relief, once I thought about it).
The ONLY difference between this show and House was that he was a VERY poor shrink with no real ethics, rather than a drug-addled sarcastic and hateful doctor in a hospital. Oh and a lot of cursing all round. Just pointing out the differences; it was obviously a cable series rather than a network series.
I'm not going to bother with the second season. My advice is that you don't bother with the FIRST.

"You can't make a horror/action film for under a grand."
"Hold my beer."
Horrid thing was the movie's plot itself, cookie-cutter and insulting to the human brain.
The set appeared to have been rented or just used from some other movie(s).
I can't imagine anyone above the age of twelve deriving any enjoyment whatsoever from this movie, and I wouldn't even recommend that a twelve year old watch this thing.
The set was cheap, the antagonists were cheap.
The protagonists were cheap, no-name "actors" who can NOT act, probably had to take their days off from Jack in the Box to make this movie for a few extra dollars.
I wish that I had looked here on this site prior to wasting such a short but valuable part of my life watching this movie.
Oh. In case I'd forgotten to mention: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE.

I like time temporal stories as much as the next guy. But this is pure tripe. The plot has holes through which you could drive a freight train with MILES to spare all round, and most of the acting is amateur at best like soap opera, insulting at the worst like children's TV. The ONLY reasons that I watched the entire thing was that it was pointlessly violent, which I enjoy, it has good special effects, and because I fell for the rating bots on this site. DO NOT WASTE THREE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE WATCHING THIS. You will only wish that you had watched something else. It is NOT a good television show.
