    This concept has been done before, and much better too. Let's put pretty people in scrubs and put ridiculous scenarios in front of them. Being in the medical field, I find this insulting the intelligence of Americans. I just hope people don't think this crap mimics reality(except maybe the sleeping around). Pass, pass, pass.

    my friends and family all stopped watching this show a couple seasons ago. the plots were weak and it became a soap opera. Its time to retire this show.

    I absolutely love this show i have seen all the seasons since 2005, however is too hard for the fans that Derek is dead i¨m still recovering of that tragedy,

    I have to say that i love that Miranda Bailey now is the chief of surgery, her humor is awesome and she is almost the only one who continues since the first season. I love the drama os the tv show and the new characters like April,

    It's a total chick show. If you're a guy you probably won't like it. The first episode starts off establishing the main character as a cheap slut who has one night stands. Then tries to pass her off as someone who cares, except you know, just not about being promiscuous.

    The dialogue is filled with sarcasm and it ends up getting on your nerves if you aren't a sarcastic person. It comes off as the characters treating each other like **** when I imagine it's supposed to be humorous teasing/banter. The entire tone of the show (from someone who has never worked in a medical field, but has been to the hospital) is hard to believe. I can tell the show is trying to take the medical side of itself seriously, but it only ends up being confusing because the dialogue makes the characters sound like complete morons.

    I regret giving this show a chance. These are my first impressions. The only enjoyment I could get from the show was mocking the idiotic behavior of the characters, which borders on cringeworthy in a show that obviously wants to be believable.

    It's a chick show, it's practically a soap opera it's so ridiculous. If you're a guy, stay away.

    I loved this show early on but the further you get into the seasons, the more garbage they try to shove down your throat.. Now it's like to be normal you have to be gay or transgender.

This show turned into utter garbage that spits in the face of any kind of Christian values.. Just sick of the BS. Expand

    I have come to love Grey's Anatomy over the years and have re watched on Netflix a few times over. The only thing I would say is a huge flaw in the show is the whole character of Izzy.

The only thing I would say is a huge flaw in the show is the whole character of Izzy. Not only is she completely incompetent, and seems way behind the other interns/residents the entire time she is on the show, but she crosses the line so many times that I swear I would hope to God, that no hospital would ever permit such an insubordinate and reckless staff member to remain employed in a real hospital! The whole Denny thing, she should have not only lost her license and job she should have been written off by going to jail.
    In later seasons, Alex catches his fiance in their bedroom with a co worker who seems like from Alex's point of view, they are going to sleep together and reacts and he ends up on charges, in jail, fighting for his job, and yet Izzy stole an organ, killed a man, as if the events hadn't happened the way they did, Denny may have lived, got Burke shot, etc and not a charge, nothing. I would have to say that is, I think the only think that I have to literally skip past because it just annoys to me too much to even watch it! I guess it's because again I'd hope to God no hospital would ever allow anyone like her character to be employed by especially a hospital where people's lives are in their hands.
    The other story lines are pretty good and even on the edge of your seat good! The heated chemo lavage episode based on a real treatment used and the inspiration of Dr's trying to use new things to treat all different types of surgical issues is the kind of Dr's I'd hope to end up with if ever faced with surgery.
    Jo's character, also not one I like at all! She didn't have what it took from the beginning, crying to get what she wanted, and then the whole domestic violence thing, but again led her to think she could do as she pleased and be above the law. When she beat Chess Peckwell, (Jason Myers) within an inch of his life, regardless if he hit her first or not, she should have been held accountable! She clearly did more damage to him than him her. I wouldn't want to think in real life a woman could be allowed to do that to anyone and get away with it regardless of what their past. It sends a very wrong messege. She spends more time with drama than doing her job as a Dr, and she comes off same as Izzy, not as smart or competent as her co workers but more behind letting her personal life get in the way of her job, constantly, even in the OR with a patient on the table. Again wouldn't want that person in an operating room where I'm on the table. These two characters Jo and Izzy, I just think if they were going to be on, it should have been as patients or family of patients that starting dating Alex or whoever, but not be Dr's, or surgeons as the thought of that, I don't know about anyone else, but it's a scary thought to think anyone like them would be on the other end of a scalpel in a room where I'm having surgery.
    I guess the only other thing is just the dismissal of characters by ways which would never happen, and dismissing such loved characters, doesn't help the show. George, Mark, Lexi, Derrick, Brooks, Reid, (although I didn't like her character at all either), but shot in the head, wow. It's like they get you just adoring characters and really loving them and that's it, they're gone. Overall I would say it's a great drama otherwise, just try and keep some of the last characters that are originals on the show!

    I love Grey's Anatomy 98% of the time but I have to take exception with the complete irreverance and contempt shown to Senior Citizen patients depicted on the show. For example: I can't imagine interns using a patients hospital room as their personal "break room" and referring to the patient only as "OLD GUY".

Then there was the scene where a new intern is inducted into the club by being told to take the pulse of a senior citizen sent over by the nursing home to make sure he was really dead. I'm sure these scenes are meant to be humorous but they ARE NOT humerous to seniors who still have all their faculties! Expand

    There are bright spots here, including Pompeo's skillful performance and the surprisingly touching relationship between Meredith and her mother, a renowned surgeon. But to be worthy of study, Grey's Anatomy needs more of a brain.

    The series presents the medical cases in credible style by stressing the patients' humanity and by refusing to shy from grim prognoses.

    A mixed bag. Diagnosis: Some good dialogue, but it also suffers from a mild case of predictability.
