Hello there, it's Thursday Movie Picks's time, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
It's time for another television edition and this time we are dealing with medical dramas. I didn't have a lot of choices since I've only seen 4 (one is terrible), but at least it was an easy week.
House M.D. (2004-2012)
It's about an anti-social, pain killer addict and arrogant doctor who, along with his team, tries to cure complex and rare diseases. This is the first medical show I've watched and it's brilliant. Also, Hugh Laurie is phenomenal as Doctor House and as arrogant and unlikeable his character gets, I can't help but love him.
Grey's Anatomy (2005- )
It's about a group of surgical interns and their residents and the challenges they go through, both professionally and in their personal lives. This is my favourite of the three, I just love the way it combines compelling medical cases and the characters personal lives. And I think this is the most addictive show ever. I watched 13 seasons in 2 months, that's how addictive it is. I have to admit the writers did piss me off when they killed Patrick Dempsey.
Private Practice (2007-2013)
It's about a group of doctors working at their own practice. It's a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy and it's quite good. Not addictive though. Anyway, the great thing about it is that you get a mixed variety of patients, from kids to couples who want to have babies. And the lives of the doctors are quite interesting as well.
