More than a decade after American medical drama television series House aired its final episode, British actor Hugh Laurie has found himself at the centre of a viral social media debate after delivering a cutting, high-art defence of his iconic TV series over the show's storytelling formula.
The 66-year-old actor, best known for portraying the brilliant but abrasive Dr Gregory House for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012, has channelled his on-screen persona and responded directly to a viewer who criticised the medical drama for what she described as a repetitive narrative structure.
