Castle
House
Oh, I disagree about House. I wish that was still going. He was my favorite asshole.
I really liked House. The show just went off the rails in the last couple of seasons as I recall
I tried a rewatch recently and really liked it for the most part, but I couldn't get through more than a few eps of the last season. It was too weird without Lisa Edelstein in the cast imo
I got a little weird about House once the main cast got half swapped out, but by the end I came to terms with it and I think the show actually ended pretty solid
I wish the show just kept doing interesting cases solved by house doing house things.
Ive been watching The Good Doctor and the first episode was kind of bad but it starts getting decent. It's not house but it's produced by David shore so it's got that similar "interesting" medical cases being solved by a savant sort of thing going.
It's missing the all important ingredient... the asshole main character. The way he treated people is just delicious. If more people were this way, we could get rid of small talk and other unnecessary encounters.
It's definitely a good show, but I found the last season hard to get through. I think the season 7 finale would have been a good place for the show to end.
As much as I love Castle, I hated the "I need to do this myself to save you" mentality. Took like three different versions until the last couple episodes and "ok let's work together". Then I think writer strike or maybe actor discrepancies and it ended in such a flat way.
The leads disliked working with each other quite a bit by the end, and you can see when they started filming them apart as much as possible.
It fell into the trap of “things happening to the character” instead of “things happening external to the character and letting them figure it out”. I find that almost every serialized show starts to go that way about 4-5 seasons in.
I also really dislike how many of the kind of shows feel the need to completely change their premise from fun crime procedural to deep dark romance drama. Lucifer did the same kind of thing.
