    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

        The main character is a white male…why wouldn’t it strongly feature his point of view?

          Not at all what I meant. All of the characters regardless of their gender or ethnicity are coming from that point of view. Again still a good show and I am a white male but it’s a bit tone deaf on some things I would expect someone as smart as House to be aware of, and they likely would’ve included that were the show made today and not 2003

            Huh. Cutty and foreman in particular really openly disagree with…almost everything house opines on, and call him out often. Infact even other white males like Wilson are pretty clear they find his speech and actions inappropriate

              And yet House keeps his job and continues practicing despite his constant extremely inappropriate conduct.

      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.
