The show's mix of medical drama and personal lives is lauded, though some criticize its later seasons for repetitive plots and unrealistic medical portrayals. The evolving cast and thematic shifts have divided opinions, yet many still value its enduring impact and emotional engagement.
Featured reviews
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
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.

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.

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.
