Review of House, a show which I really enjoy. We only started watching it because we wanted to see Hugh Laurie do an American accent. We've kept watching (or, at least, I have) because the character Laurie plays is so wonderfully cynical (and Laurie does it well)--I feel a kinship with him (or whatever) even if he is only a fictional character played by a not as cynical actor.

From the review:

...House has an authentically sour tone that's rare in such a heroic field.

Oh, and last night Laurie's character put on a British accent. That's funny--a British man playing an American who puts on a British accent.
