Grade: A-
“Twenty Vicodin,” the eighth season premiere of FOX’s hit show “House,” takes us to the dark side. This season will inject Dr. House’s medical genius into a prison cell as the show depicts his life as an inmate after his incarceration last season. The premiere episode shows a new side of House, as his trademark snide remarks are tainted by a guilty conscience. With a new gang of characters, this season offers a fresh perspective into the intrinsic mind of House as he takes on medical mysteries from behind bars. The show is getting a breath of fresh air thanks to the new setting and characters that should make for an infectious new season.
