Some may say that House MD wasn't risky enough, that it was too formulaic and relied on the same kind of "edgy renegade gets the job done on his own terms" cliché that was everywhere in the 00s. Taking shots at people and their personal beliefs can make for witty and engaging dialogue, but just setting up cheap shots so that the Chad House can dunk on the Virgin Nun is just hacky.
