Hugh Laurie delivered a scathing response to a viral review of his hit show House.

In a tweet that has been viewed over a million times, freelance journalist Janet Murray shared her thoughts on Laurie's medical drama which aired from 2004 to 2012.

'Late to the party, but I've started watching Season 1 of House,' Murray wrote before critiquing the show's formulaic storylines.

'Same narrative every episode: Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies.'

'Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again. Gets threatened with being fired. Patient nearly dies again. Hugh Laurie has last minute leftfield idea. Gets diagnosis right. Doesn't get fired. Eight seasons of this?'
