I still remember watching an interview with him only after watching the entire series and how mind blowing it was to me that he was English.
He was quite well known in England. Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, etc.
The one that gets me is Dominic West. I saw him in The Wire first, and every time after I'm like "that's a decent English accent he's doing there. Oh wait."
I suspect I'm going to be the same with Shiv and Tom from Succession.
Dominic West.
Full name: Dominic Gerard Francis Eagleton West - fuck me! 😂
I rewatched recently and while there is a lot that’s dated as hell the show in general does hold up
The whole show outside of the barely plausible medical drama is about how awful House is as a human.
At every opportunity they go out of their way to spell out how horrible he is. He’s an egomaniacal drug addict with daddy issues and a borderline pedophile.
The most fun thing watching the show is counting the number of crimes he commits an episode.
Is rare that he's not used in memes as the Joker, American Psycho or the guy from picky blinders.
I stopped watching it cause I just couldn't stand House, who is never allowed to experience the consequences of his behaviour because he's just so amazing and special and always right that they can't afford to lose him, because of course no other doctors in the entire city can hold a candle to this one emotionally stunted asshole. I remember the extremely acephobic episode which was not my favourite thing to see as someone who is asexual 🙃. That was definitely the last straw for me.
What are some things you'd call dated? Genuine curiosity, it's been a while since I saw some episodes.
I’d just say the general outlook of the show is a very white male point of view. It’s still a good show but you can tell it was made in a specific period because of the conversations
Most episodes featuring queer people, to start. There's an episode that portrays asexuality as a medical problem that can be cured for example. The intersex episode is another one that leaves a very bad taste in the mouth for a variety of reasons.
House prescribed cigarettes to Santa for the squirts. Miss that show.
And here is how he learned about the benefits of cigarettes: https://youtu.be/XewVicFzRxw
"Too much of everything is bad for you. That's what 'too much' means." is one of my favorite quotes of all time.
My IBS/Gastritis/thefuckIknow sometimes gets better after smoking on the weekend.
You are a black man.
