Kate's writing is exquisite - she has a way of taking characters to a different level. I can completely agree there.

That one aspect was enough for me, as someone that never watched a great deal of medical dramas because I found them repetitive and just lacking something that held my interest. With House, I was pulled in by the character of House himself and the fact that he was a doctor going against the mold, however controversial or completely wrong it might have been, but Cuddy did it for me, too, in the pilot episode. I liked seeing a strong woman making her way higher into the world, digging in her heels and holding a position of power. Sure, there are probably other shows like that out there but I'd never seen one and those two factors were what drew me in.

Now, if I'm honest with myself, I've just grown attached to the characters and the show. There are things I'd wish different, but it's just about entertainment for me now. About characters I've grown to love, and even though the tone of the show has really changed, I'm just too attached to them to let go.
