    house was super entertaining to watch except it became too tiring to see someone have a seizure every. fucking. episode.

    I think I quit a couple episodes into season 2 just because of that. I’m someone who feels uncomfortable seeing other people in pain (including most “funny” videos about people falling, getting hit in the crotch, or whatever) so seeing someone get convulsions every time was just sucking all the fun out of it.

      FWIW, an actual seizure doesn’t look anything like a Hollywood seizure. It’s both more subtle and somehow more disturbing.

        yeah I don’t know I guess it’s believable enough. it’s funny, I enjoy completely over the top violence, like mortal kombat / doom levels, and most action movies. but seeing someone just trip and fall brings a visceral reaction.

        it just doesn’t register as entertainment in my brain the way the over the top stuff do. house falls into the realistic category so it’s harder for me to watch.
