Somebody just pointed out that it's their favorite adaptation of Sherlock and I see the basic parallels but I'm not convinced.

lawl, that logic is airtight. Which will probably cause the home to explode. But that's not my problem.

"Holmes" sounds like "homes", hence "House"; Dr. Wilson's name and role echo those of Dr. Watson; House's Vicodin addiction parallels Holmes' cocaine use; House's soap operas are a nod to Holmes' monographs; both Holmes and House live at number 221B Baker street; both stories involve a character named "Irene Adler", and both House and Holmes have had a guy named "Moriarty" try to kill them. Also, it's theorized that Watson had three wives (the stories are unclear and Doyle is somewhat vague on this point), mirroring Wilson's three divorces. And in a rather self-conscious homage, Wilson's present to House is a book on Dr. Joseph Bell ("You remind me of him"), who was the real-life physician Holmes' deductive ability was based on.

I thought Holmes was largely based off the Poe character.

Yeah, it's interesting. Both are documented inspirations:

Idk, I feel like there's so much overlap between the holmes stories and murders of the rue morgue. Perhaps he took inspiration from Bell to start writing but then the writing was largely inspired by poe's work.
