My Take
What strikes me about David Shore is how a former lawyer ended up shaping one of TV's sharpest character studies. House didn't work because of the medical mysteries; it worked because Shore built a brilliant, miserable diagnostician and refused to soften him. That comes across to me as a writer who trusts audiences to sit with an unlikable protagonist. Later he developed The Good Doctor, which leans the opposite way, toward warmth, and I find the contrast telling. Born in London, Ontario, with Emmy and Writers Guild recognition behind him, he reads to me as a craftsman who prizes voice over formula.
