I haven't seen the original, because i didn't knew that Doktor Richter is based on the American Doctor House. I watched it in russian (original, no subtitels) and enjoyed it! That's all i can say. The humor was good. The ending blowed my mind away. I liked the characters, even tho they eere suppossed to be "unlikable" characters, but that's just a Fassade. Beneath the "i'm angry, don't you talk to me" behaviour is a man who is just as human as anyone else. I'll consided watching the original tho! But itxs just too many episodes..
