Grey's Anatomy
About a year or two ago, I decided to watch Grey's Anatomy while I was on vacation. I was instantly in love with the characters, story line, and acting. My first time through, I watched the first fourteen seasons, until I became annoyed by the departure of two of my favorite characters. Recently, I decided that I wanted to watch the recent seasons, but came to the realization that I did not remember most of the things about where I left off. Twelve seasons later, I am very happy I made the decision to start from the beginning, as this show has officially become one of my top 3 shows of all time.
Some may say that seventeen seasons of the same show is too many. Although I agree it may seem like a lot for an ordinary show, I would say back to them that this is no ordinary show. The actors play these roles so well that you can not help but fall in love with these characters, making you want to watch them. This show is the definition of addicting, and it feels like seventeen seasons isn't enough. In my opinion, this show has some of the best characters in television history. Most notably, Lexie Grey, played by Chyler Leigh, Callie Torres, played by Sara Ramirez, and Cristina Yang, played by Sandra Oh. Those are my top 3 characters in the series. Honorable mentions go to Meredith Grey played by Ellen Pompeo, April Kepner played by Sarah Drew, Arizona Robbins played by Jessica Capshaw, and Amelia Shepherd played by Caterina Scorscone. All of these actresses make the seventeen seasons worth it.
The actors also have amazing chemistry with the other actors. Couples like Lexie and Mark, Meredith and Derek, Jackson and April, and Callie and Arizona all had amazing chemistry. I am not going to spoil anything, however the storylines that these couples go through are inspiring, intriguing, and heartbreaking. These couples are the foundation of the show, and without them, it would not be as legendary as it is now.
What I think Greys Anatomy does best are season finales. Almost all season finales end in a memorable way, whether it be devastating or inspiring. What comes to mind is the end of season 6 and season 8. I am not going to spoil what happens, but any true Grey's Anatomy fans will know what I am referring to. The plots are very well written, and are even acted out better.
Overall, this show will forever hold its place in television history. Ellen Pompeo, also known as the main character Meredith Grey, is currently the highest paid actress on television. With a total of 54 awards won, Greys Anatomy will go down as one of the best tv shows ever created.
I am currently on season 15 of Grey's Anatomy and I love the show! I started watching the show at the beginning of quarantine and it has helped me through so much. It is always my way of relaxing and getting my mind off of everything. It also teaches so many lessons through the show. The character's development throughout the show has to be my favorite part. My favorite character would probably be Alex Karev because of how much he has changed for the better. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a new show to watch.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost on season 16 and I swear I got through this show so incredibly fast. I started watching this show because of you and Grace showing me the most popular episodes. I stopped watching it after season 13 because I didn't find myself interested in it at the time. It wasn't until you encouraged me to rewatch it with you that I did just that and I literally cannot stop. In fact, I'm watching it right now. I think my favorite character right now is Meredith Grey. At the end of season 15, she just chilling and doing a bunch of research. She is an incredible surgeon and overall just person.
ReplyDeleteMichael I love Grey's Anatomy!! And I agree with your point that they do finales like no other. I will say though... I do not enjoy the recent seasons. I kind of agree it is too much. I have just been comparing the new seasons to the amazing old seasons, making the new ones seem really... not good. But, it is still an amazing show.
ReplyDeleteI think this is my sign to watch Grey's Anatomy. I have seen and heard so much about it. It is just so long, and I'm scared I am going to binge watch it. I tend to do that when I get really invested in a show. Almost all of my friends have or watch Grey's Anatomy, they even cry about it. Personally I never watched it because I have been more interested in watching shows involving law, like "Law and Order" and "CSI." I might have to change up what I watch.
