House is ideal binge fodder - charting the exploits of physician, infectious disease specialist, and all-round wunderkind Gregory House and his team of diagnosticians. With staying at home now compulsory for many of us, we detail how to watch House online from anywhere so you can enjoy this engaging drama for free.
Premiering on Fox in 2004 and ending in 2012, House was an unconventional medical drama that ran for eight seasons and numbered 177 episodes. These are available to stream almost exclusively throughAmazon Prime Video.
Like ER orGrey’s Anatomy, House delivered high-stakes medical intrigue, but with a shot of black comedy courtesy of Dr Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), the misanthropic, pill-popping genius.
Set at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, each episode revolves around the admission of a patient with a mysterious condition, and the team’s attempt to identify its origin before they start ‘circling the drain’. In the midst of ascertaining the right diagnosis, House belittles his colleagues, treats his patients with disdain, and clashes with hospital administrator Dr Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). He’s cantankerous, sure, but fascinating to watch.
Created by David Shore (Sneaky Pete,The Good Doctor), House is a winning mix of medical mystery, comedy and character drama, with an awards-worthy cast that includes Omar Epps, Jesse Spencer, and Jennifer Morrison. If you want to revisit 2008’s most watched TV showin the world, read on as we detail how to watch House online, for free, no matter where you are.
