The Hugh Laurie-led Fox medical drama ended its eight-season run on May 21, 2012. "That’s a good enough excuse to talk about a less-discussed aspect of David Shore’s iconic show," says Akos Peterbencze. "Beyond its numerous intriguing cases and characters, House gave us a protagonist who was particularly relatable and appealing to introverts by the way he embraced loneliness and misery. Dr. Greg House (Hugh Laurie) was the Michael Jordan of diagnostic medicine (and being a jerk) on television. He could afford to insult and look down on people because he’d always come up with brilliant diagnoses that other doctors couldn’t. Based on thorough observations and spot-on assumptions, he had the superiority to tell people how he knew them better than they knew themselves. But this arrogant, cynical, and snarky demeanor was only a disguise to hide his pain."

I loved House M.D. but the series finale was very weak in comparison to the rest of the show.
