House M.D.

Some podcasters might be deterred to cover one of the most popular medical dramas of all time - that also kind of counts as a Holmes adaptations - considering we haven’t either really watched any of it. Not us though. Today’s case file covers House M.D., and we’ve invited Twitter’s greatest House fan, Sara Ghaleb, to give us a hand. 

Sara recommended a few key episodes that she thinks summarize how House is a Holmes adaptation - and so armed with that very limited knowledge, we sat down to talk about it. Tune in for the highs, lows, and accidental murders in this long-running medical drama, the joys of seeing the Holmes & Watson friendship in many different formats, and the inherent Victorian-ness of serialized television. This episode does contain some language, as well as spoilers for the show.
