    I genuinely can’t tell which of the two you’re talking about. This describes them both pretty well. I give the edge to House for being slightly more sympathetic.

      I think House is a lot more sympathetic, but that’s just because he’s a doctor and not involved in the mafia lmao. Still a massive asshole, but in such a charismatic and interesting way.

        It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, and I forgot quite how much an asshole Tritter really was. I think Tritter is sort of sympathetic in that he’s right: House is an addict, breaking the law to feed his addiction, and he probably shouldn’t be practicing medicine. It works on TV but in real life, would you really want the doctor who spends his whole time high and doesn’t care at all about you except as a puzzle? But I forgot that the whole thing started over him feeling personally insulted, and I forgot exactly how much he sucked as a person.

          Laws are merely fads for the entitled to control the vulnerable- which is why laws change decade to decade. To “break laws” means nothing, if they are non violent offenses.
