To just binge-watch Greys Anatomy on repeat?

[HamRadio]

Obvs not BU

I’m not really a film/tv fan, truth be told. I have quite specific things that I like, and they tend to be easy watching fluff if I’m honest. I don’t really like to watch stuff I have to engage with too closely. I have a heavy job and two kids and I’m always knackered and stressed. I just prefer to zone out with some mindless shit to be honest.

Greys is my default. It’s comforting and distracts me from stress etc. I dunno. I watch it most nights just now (going through a bit of a hard time) and it’s driving DH mental 🤷🏻‍♀️

I also like This Is Us and watch that sometimes but not to the same extent.

Is this really unusual? Does anyone else do this?

DH and I are currently binge watching Grey's from the start, just got to series 9. We've never seen it before but YANBU!

Yes.

I’m currently rewatching Silent Witness. Grey’s was another favourite. Also House.

I have a list of favourite series. I always have one I'm watching. I wAtch other series normally (like an episode or two a week until the series ends and no rewatching), but if I really love a series it gets added to the rewatch pile.

I have watched every episode of Greys Anatomy at least Twice. It's like a comfort blanket

I’ve watched it many times. It got me through some really hard times as well when I was struggling with my mental health as a directionless 19 year old and didn’t leave my room for a month.
Ten years later I’m a scientist now!

I have the same thing with Gilmore Girls. It's my go to when I need something easy to watch.

Used to love Grey's anatomy but stopped watching around season 9. Need to catch up

Yabu.

Binge watch ER instead on E4. Greys is shite in comparison.

Snap, i’ve got so much on at the moment and need something i can relax with that doesn’t need focus.
Plus all the drama in their lives makes mine look so simple.

Other medical dramas worth a binge watch-

St Elsewhere- lots of soon to be megastar actors, and fascinating to watch how medicine and society has moved on.

Chicago Hope- slightly more realistic, funnier version of ER.

I too binge watch Greys and have just recently rewatched ER.

Currently doing that exact thing myself. Last couple of series have been so crap, but going back to S1 and rewatching is a huge pleasure for me.

I second ER! I've binge watched Grey's twice and currently loving ER. I remeber my mum having it on when I was younger but it old enough to be interested. Fully addicted now!

Absolutely not. I’ve seen Greys all the way through so many times. I’m on season 5 again at the moment. Its superb. Also drives my DH mad. But like you say, its easy to watch and comforting. It’s special.

Was just coming to post. Gave up about 6 seasons in as it never matched ER for me. Only long time series I watched to the bitter end in the days you waited from year to year. (Though actually you can get to that point once fully immersed in Netflix). I watched the first season as a uni student and the last season played when my first kid was newborn.

Where can you watch ER? Is it on 4OD?

I started greys but didn't get hooked... since I had ds late last year I've binged this is us, house, 9-1-1, 911 lone star, station 19, the night shift, Brooklyn 99 and Gilmore girls (for the 3rd time)

I do love a medical drama, gutted greys didn't cut it. Have you seen saving hope OP?

I do that too, but I always stop before George dies 🥺

I have the same thing with Gilmore Girls. It's my go to when I need something easy to watch.

I used to rewatch Gilmore Girls constantly, especially when I was going through tough times. I guess it's such a tame show that it's comforting.

Recently, I was enjoying a re-rewatch of One Tree Hill and Amazon Prime took it down! I feel like my pre-bed comfort blanket is gone.

Dolly what?! But that’s so early on! There is soooo much good stuff after that!

I love Greys! Where are you watching it? Doesn’t seem to be on Sky anymore 🙁

No I haven’t seen Saving Hope I’ll look that up.

It’s on virgin media on demand.

I used to be a Casualty/Holly City addict and Greys totally ruined it for me it’s just so boring in comparison.

Never seen it but i've done the same with The Big Bang Theory. I think I watched the whole lot 5 times during a very stressful period. Just in the evenings not 24 hours a day!

I'm working my way through Friends for the second time now.

I have watched friends when in bed at night every night for the last 15 years (not kidding) it helps me sleep and makes me feel safe. I still laugh at it.

rubbish

Greys is much better than ER

I’m on my fourth round of Grey’s. I call them my ‘friends’. I think at times like this it’s reassurance.
