And it took 4 seasons to realize it wasn’t?

Oh hard disagree… everything about the show is bad.. writing, voice acting , overly aggressive interactions etc.. it amazes me that this made it past the executives. That says a lot about HBO.

I didn't know it was a soap. Should've done some more research. I had watched House MD a few years ago and liked it. Thought that this is on the same lines, that I'll get to watch some curious medical cases.

You haven't even gotten to the part in the show yet where there's a major disaster every season that kills someone LOL

Oh, to be a contrarian.

What do you expect, it's a prime time soap opera with a hospital background setting. It's gonna be cringy and heavy handed. If you want solid writing and acting, there's ER.

If you enjoy the soapy stuff, NBC had a show called Mercy back in 2010 with a pre OITNB Taylor Schilling, Michelle Trachtenberg, Margo Martindale and they added James Van Der Beek halfway through their only 22 episode season. I found it way more easy to digest than Grey's Anatomy. It was pretty decent and for whatever reason just never caught on. I think it faced really tough competition in its timeslot.

We watch a bunch of different shows. Rarely two of the same in the same day.

She literally apologized to him after he frees her from the board she’s trapped on in the final episode. And shaggy isn’t in the series, not sure why you think she needs to apologize to him.

I watched this thinking it's like House MD.

Like I said, first two seasons were good enough for a low-attention watch. Third season started to get bad, but i thought it'd get better. Finally stopped during the 4th season.

I didn't have anything else to watch

At least it isn't a medical drama about a guy who freaks out before he performs every surgery.

I don't how this is still running after 19 years!

People have different tastes. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Lol if you can't bear it now, you'll be rolling in your grave at all the soapy drama in Seasons 6 - 9....and also A bunch of crazy (natural) events happen pretty much back to back in the same 1-2 year span lol. These events could obviously happen, but the probability of them all happening in that short time period is likely astronomical. That said though, that was peak Grey's, it started going down after a certain someone moved across an ocean, and immediately following that, another certain someone was dramatically written off the show too. The following seasons were and are meh.

Should've watched ER instead :p (at least the first few seasons).

I have shows that I watch with the wife and shows I watch by myself so basically always have multiple shows running depending whether or not the wife is around to watch

Grey’s Anatomy is a romance show dressed up as a medical drama. Why did you watch 4 seasons of something you didn’t enjoy? Just move on. We are like 20 years into Grey’s Anatomy, it’s not a hot take to criticize the realism of this show, both on the front of medicine as on the front of relationships. You think this is bad, don’t look for a list of all the major incidents characters on this show have been through since it started.

A fantastic binge watch. One of the all-time greats. Don't be put off by complaints about the end.

She treats Fred like shit, then there’s an episode that shows how fucked Fred’s family is, and instead of being compassionate towards Fred after learning this new info, she still treats him like shit after.

Notice how I specifically mentioned how she treats her victims when I spoke of growth. She wasn’t really that mean to Shaggy, Fred was her main victim throughout the show since the opening few seconds. Her punching bag.

Mindy is not a sexual assaulter that stupid late night clip is so obviously a joke lmao

Obviously an actor can have any background for their character, but it's fun to try and find in story explanations

Yeah. I'll usually only watch one season at a time, then take a small break by watching something else. Only time that doesn't apply is if they're about to be pulled from a streaming service, or if it's a new Netflix show and I wanna boost numbers a bit so they don't kill it.

One series at a time
