Another hidden House MD gem rears its head, as we take a look at Clueless, the fifthteenth episode of the second season of House. You might not recognise it by name, but this is the one with the murder mystery, the gold and that cool moment where House talks about his childhood in Egypt...yep now you remember it. So if you have about an hour to kil…

In the fourteenth episode of season 2 of House MD, we learn that Sex Kills. We also learn that there's a missed opportunity with this one. A chance for a great episode is buried in here, but what we end up with a good episode that's perfect for a rewatch during a House MD binge. So if you fancy listening to 2 people pick apart an episode and rebuil…

Okay, we were wrong, turns out there's even more to the Stacey epilogue than we thought. Gregory House is dealing with even more existential pain and patient drama in Skin Deep, House MD Season 2 Episode 13 (no surprise there). What is slightly surprising, is this is one of the first episodes that we almost actively disliked for large parts of. Thi…

In the epilogue to the Stacey arc of the show, things are...well, business as usual. But that's kind of the point after all. In Season 2, Episode 12, the episode aptly named Distractions is all about House distracting himself from his sudden breakup with Stacey. We'll talk about the lowkey epilogue to one of the show's biggest season arcs and how i…

It's the end of the Stacey and House arc in this week's episode of House MD: Need To Know. As always, the House MD writers manage to bring big story arcs to a close in the most underplayed and melancholic way possible. Need To Know is one of the House MD highlights, so this week we'll be exploring the conclusion of House and Stacey's relationship a…

In this House MD episode called Failure To Communicate, we equally fail to communicate our thoughts about this huge step in the House & Stacey relationship. It's House and Stacey's first kiss and Foreman is one again vowing for the top spot back at Princeton Plainsboro, plus we have a patient who just can't stop lying (by ommission because he can't…

It's the ultimate Sex And The City / House MD crossover as Miranda joins Princeton Plainsboro as a patient. As with most series that have 24 episodes, there are going to be some lulls and some mediocre moments, and sadly this is one of them. However, like the good differential diagnositicians that we are, we're going to give it our best shot to com…

Thank god, Chase is actually doing something! In this differential diagnosis of House MD, Season 2 Episode 8, we're taking a look at The Mistake.

The Stacey Wars have begun, as House attempts to use his knowledge of Stacey's failing marriage to get closer to her...but to what end?

Hekimoglu is the recent Turkish adaptation of House MD and to our surprise each episode came at a whopping 2 hour runtime. We braved the 2 hour pilot episode, which was very similar beat for beat to the original House MD pilot and now we've come together to discuss the Hekimoglu pilot and explore what it got right and the additional things that it …

In this hidden gem of an episode, we discuss the surprising thematic complexity of Spin and how it's one of those episodes that is easy to forget, but has so much under the surface upon a rewatch.

We love talking about anything even remotely House MD related. That's what DDXtra is all about. So this week, we're taking a look at another medical procedural which has David Foster on the writing staff (one of our favourite writers on the House MD writing team). New Amsterdam is a surprisingly lowly rated show which followed a medical genius with…

It's another episode where the patient dies and this is easily one of the most depressing House MD episodes that the show has ever put out to date. Season 2, Episode 5 is all about daddy issues - between the patient and his father, as well as House and his own father. Daddy's boy is a great exploration of how the small choices that parents make for…

Gregory House has already insulted cancer kids, so let's move on to TB infected kids.
