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

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
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.
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!
