Mine is light and L from death note . They were potrayed as some kinda of super genius characters but in reality it felt like every other characters shared one braincell and light and L were average .

EDIT : I have come to the conclusion that so may of lemmings didn't get what my post was about . I don't care if a charecter is an asshole or isn't very good in other aspects of their life.

I think it's well established that Dr. House is wrong way more often than he's right... I still find it entertaining though.

    He's mostly right in the end. Being right instantly would make episodes last 5 minutes...

    Every episode of house is basically

    Patient gets sick
    House is wrong at first
    Everyone is wrong for a while
    They think they're right, but they're wrong
    House has a random epiphany, steals $50 from Wilson, and saves the patient

    Maybe I should watch House. I love Lucifer and every episode is basically

    Lucifer has a problem
    Someone else has a problem
    Lucifer makes his problem worse
    Someone else makes their problem better
    Lucifer uses the solution from someone to make his problem better, usually after making an epiphany quip
    Lucifer learns nothing

    IMO It is worth a watch!

    Compared to run of the mill hospital shows it is good tv.

    Others you can check out:

    New Amsterdam 2018

    American medical drama television series, based on the book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer

    The Knick 2015

    Nope, not a movie, hahaha! Looks interesting though!

    New Amsterdam is a series, 5 seasons.

    A new medical director breaks the rules to heal the system at America's oldest public hospital.

    The Knick is also a series, more mature content, 2 seasons.

    A look at the professional and personal lives of the staff at New York's Knickerbocker Hospital during the early part of the twentieth century.

    I've watched House over and over again over the years and always kind of idolized him. But something must have changed about me because the latest time around, it hit way different. I realized, "wow, I really wouldn't want to be acquainted with this guy in the slightest."

    But I think that's because I finally actually understood the show.

    Also, Robert Sean Leonard is massively underrated as Laurie's foil. Wilson is definitely now my favorite character.
