Trivia:
Hugh Laurie actually has an English accent, as he is from Oxford, England. In "The Socratic Method" there is a moment where House pretends to have an English accent while on the phone. Hugh Laurie was able to use his own accent (or an accent close to his own) for this moment. more

SOCRATIC METHOD is one of the first season's more intense episodes, in which a mother with serious health problems is thought to have substance problems. Her son is like a parent to her, protecting her at every turn. House suspects something far more peculiar going on, and has his team check out the woman's home for possible contributing factors. This is the kind of episode that has hooked me on this show. It plays like a medical episode of LAW & ORDER, which is the highest compliment I can give any TV series. The acting is first rate, the drama is high, and the action is compelling. And we get to see the House team in a different light in this episode.
