I usually wait to post an overall review until a show is fully done, but now I am fully done with the show.

I originally had it at a 9 then 8 and now 7 and I'm doing this review now before it keeps going down.

I have amazing memories of the show, season 1-11 are absolutely amazing, all of it, it had a fantastic balance between medical mysteries and difficulties in the OR, with a good mix of home drama and relationship issues, season 12-14 were decent with some good episodes but 15 up to now which is 18 are just some of the most horrendous seasons of tv.

There is no more shocking patients, even the family drama is just plain ridiculous, I get after 18 seasons ( renewed for a 19th) it's hard to come up with ideas, SO STOP, go out with a bang!!!

I have watched a handful of s18 and it's useless, the show now focuses on whole topics, forcing certain agendas at you, for example I think S17 Maggie thought her boyfriend was going to be killed by the police because he was pulled over, what a load of rubbish, this was in the height of police protests but my god, yes there are bad people out there but your painting an entire police force as animals, I really didn't like that. Greys was a place you would go to escape reality, now it's even worse.

My greys days are behind me unfortunately, I'd recommend s1-11 they are superb but just stop after that.

This show was so good for so many years I am unsure as to why they keep dragging it out. They should've ended it seasons ago and just stopped while it was still good. All in all worth the watch but I stopped watching it a few seasons ago

So far, I'm enjoying this show. I consider it a more serious "Scrubs".

To be honest, I started watching it because of the beautiful vistas of Seattle that they show at the beginning of the first episode. I love this city and most of the city views they showed so far would be very hard (or impossible) for me to get otherwise. Seattle is breathtaking on a sunny day.

But this was just what caught my attention initially. I fell in love with the cast and up to this point I enjoyed every minute of "Grey's Anatomy". Some people think it's not realistic and I agree with them, but what TV show is? And if it WAS realistic, I don't think I would watch it. Have you ever been to a hospital? Was it interesting? I didn't think so.

I hope the show stays interesting and funny and if you're looking for reality, don't watch TV.

Grey's Anatomy is a surprisingly addictive show. The plot lines are an interesting blend of soap opera, drama, and comedy--it's not really like anything else, but at the same time, it occasionally feels pedestrian. However, it's very well done--good writing, great acting, and well directed.

Sandra Oh stands out for her comic timing, but the entire cast is superb. It's not as grave as ER, but is just as compelling. Also, it's a little more accessible than ER and some of the more serious medical dramas. The show is definitely worth catching--if you can't watch it when it airs, TiVo it or rent the first season DVD. It's well worth the time spent! It's great for marathon viewings!

I agreed to watch these from the start with my girlfriend.

I resisted at first but quickly got into it - the show is (was) full of drama, comedy, sadness, the whole Variety pack.

I had to stop watching the last season 17.

Although the show always tackled difficult social issues it did it as part of a story line, not always well, but it was always a situation that affected a character and you would see it play out.

This started to become less nuance as time went on until you get to season 17 where the characters all but look down the lens and say "these are the top ten reasons why America is racist" There is no story line or investigation into motivations or character just some glib -"yeah I am going to try harder not to murder my patients with racism"

Also Grey herself - how many times is this woman going to die?

The Terminator would have called it a day by now!

I swear she has her own parking space in Purgatory

The security guards see her coming and just wave her through.

"Hey, Meredith, what got you this time? Oh, a dolphin fell out of a hot-air balloon and crushed the ambulance that was carrying you away from that train wreck? What are the chances, eh?"

All things have to come to and end.

This must surely be the end.

The early seasons of Grey's were so great! I loved the characters and their stories. The show is still good years later, but nothing will ever compare to the original cast!

The beginning season were amazing!! Great actors with interesting storylines, it had the perfect amount of humor and heart to go along with the brutal cases brought into the hospital. But then it started to lose it's heart, characters became extremely annoying, and the personal issues of the characters became exhausting as they never seemed to change. Grey's Anatomy had a great cast to start with, then they took those characters and slowly made them unbearable to stand. While eventually getting rid of some of the best actors on the show to replace them with people who you will not be able to tolerate for very long. I wish this show would focus more on the medicine aspect and less on the personal lives of the doctors. It would be nice if they would clean up the cast and get better actors with better storylines or just end the show! 15 seasons is a bit much.

Seriously, a nineteenth season?? This should have ended 4 or 5 years ago, it used to be good but it has turned into an awful show that i don't watch anymore and don't want to watch, they let it go on way too long.

This television series is one of the best dramas I've ever seen in a while. The cast has great chemistry, especially Patrick Dempsy and Ellen Pompeo. The script is flawless, full of new obstacles for each character to go through per episode, with bits of comedic writing in it as well. I have compared this series with the ER series and personally, I like this series much better. Grey's Anatomy has bits of life lessons for viewers to learn every so often. Many episodes breaks your hearts, making you feel tempted to even yell or shout at the television screen! Great cliff-hangers, making viewers waiting impatiently until next Thursday to see what happens next! Overall, Grey's Anatomy is a wonderful show. Tune in!

I have rated this show 10/10 for 11 years. This has been my favorite show since I was 15, it taught me so much. Meredith has been my idol and favorite Tv character for over a decade. Today I am 26 and my heart is breaking for how I feel about this show💔 It's all miserable and about covid only. No more complicated surgeries, no more action and excitement, no more intensity, even the drama is just.. not good anymore. I can't find words to describe how I feel about Meredith being in a comma and all those wasted scenes with Derek.. everything about the show is a message now. I thought I'm stronger than this pandemic until it ruined my favorite place..

The firs three seasons are great, then the show declines. I stopped with the fifth season.

Generally - solid acting, good music/soundtracks, descent plot.

Been watching this show pretty much since the beginning.. Well it has changed a lot. The first few seasons, i really loved, i mean you had all the OG's from the beginning still in there, like Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, Justin Chambers and ofcourse mister McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey.. But then all of them left, like after that it became a drag, i mean i still like the show, but LOVE, no not like in the beginning. Grey's Anatomy is just one of the show's that got dragged on like waayyy to long. I truly think this should be the last season, i mean what more do we need? Better to stop when still like by all.

I've been with this show since the beginning; it was the best show I'd ever seen up until about season twelvish. Now, all these years later, they're just reusing old storylines on a new cast. Like it's some nighttime soap opera. And the way they had Meredith exit? THE SHOW HAS THE CHARACTER'S NAME IN IT. What a horrible send-off to the character the show's named after. Unfortunately I feel compelled to continue watching since I've been with the show for all this time, but it serves more as background noise than anything else. Do yourself a favor and carefully consider how much time you'll devote to binging this show if you've never seen it before, because it gets worse as the years go on. Maybe stop halfway through?

I love greys anatomy and it's one of my favorite shows, but please don't try to lengthen it more or you are going to ruin it. All the characters are either leaving or dying so please only make an amazing finale so everyone remember how good the first seasons were.

The last few seasons are just some phrases transcribed from popular psychology books, with no actual characters. So bad and fabric.

This used to be such an addictive show. The medical and personal life storylines were interesting, and the characters were written well so that you got attached to them.

I did enjoy it for a lot of its run, but it has been slowly going downhill by bringing in boring characters, pulling back on medical mysteries and stories, and having all their characters sleeping and making babies with one another. It also started trading good writing with awkward preachy interludes - though not too often at first.

I had watched it through before, and stopped at season 17 because it just got so bad. But this time I decided I was going to just keep watching through. Well I got halfway through s17ep6 and I couldn't take it. The writing is so boring, it brings COVID into a world we went to to escape things like COVID, and replaces a lot of meaningful dialogue with awkward, badly written politcal soap box speeches.

There's a way to bring awareness to issues without sacrificing good writing and just repeating political youtuber talking points. If I wanted political rants I can find those elsewhere. I watched this show for the interesting medical drama and interesting characters, and it's gotten to the point where it's about everything but that. It's become unwatchable.
