Season 8

I find myself compelled to express just how beautiful the Season 8 is. Sometimes, I forget this fact, as I tend to remember it as a painful farewell to one of my favorite characters. However, there are numerous mature, well-written, and expertly directed episodes that deserve recognition. Especially when we look back at the first season, where we could already see a good level of quality, but with the passing years, some moments may have seemed a bit naive.

Take, for example, the episodes "1x05 - Damned If You Do" and "8x12 - Chase", both exploring ecclesiastical themes and faith. We can notice a clear evolution in the series, as it avoids revisiting and rehashing previously explored territories, not just within House MD, but also compared to other shows.

And what can be said about "Nobody's Fault"? It was a witch hunt expertly handled with interest, delicacy, and the avoidance of clichés and predictable scenes.

Don't get me wrong, the first season had many memorable episodes that brilliantly defined House's character. However, I believe that with the eighth season, an equilibrium was achieved, making it enjoyable to watch all the episodes without ever getting bored, even upon multiple viewings.

I would have loved for the show to continue with more seasons. The writers, with their exceptional storytelling abilities, would have been capable of keeping the character dynamics engaging, providing viewers with moments of growth and empathy. Nonetheless, I am content with the way the series and the season concluded, even though I am deeply saddened by the fate of a particular character.

Season 8 showed us the series' ability to maintain its brilliance and captivate viewers until the very end. The episodes are a testament to the writers' dedication and their skill in crafting thought-provoking narratives. It is a season that reminds us of House MD's enduring legacy and its ability to leave a lasting impact on its audience.
