Greys Anatomy: does it get better?

[Darkness22]

Everyone on here raves about this programme! I am now half way through series 3. There are just so many of them!! I mean, I do like it...but does it get better??

I love it. I guess you have to kind of think of it as a soap, rather than a series? If that makes sense

Yes, I think watching so many in a row is just too much.

No. But it basically gains control of your soul and before you know it you're knee deep in series 12 and wondering how hard it would be to do an appendectomy.

😂
I'm already worried that I'm wasting my life on it!!!

It's ok until about season 13. The Resident is much better

I watch
Greys
The resident
New Amsterdam

Chicago fire
911
911 lone star

I gave up after some pretty key characters left ( no spoilers). I think it was end of Series 9 or 10.

No it gets worse. I’d say it goes downhill after about season 9. If you don’t love the first few seasons you’re not going to love it later.

It gets better and then worse!

I loved it until around S9; I begrudgingly continued to watch it but the last two seasons have been so fucking awful that I think I’ve only watched around 10 episodes.

Season 5/6 are the best I think. Its crap after season 10 IMO.

This is accurate. Did the show die for me when Christina left? Yes? Am i still watching watching the new season not interested in 99% of characters but still wondering what a Wipple(??) is... also yes

I loved it up to around s7.
But I watched one episode a week, no bingeing.

I love Greys anatomy but the later series’ really suck. From about series 10 onwards it’s not nearly as good. I wouldn’t watch so many in a row and some of the earlier ones feel a bit dated but I love it. I’ve watched it through so many times.

Did the show die for me when Christina left? Yes?

Like I said, I'm on season 3 so that's a spoiler.

It goes downhill in the middle seasons then better again!

I was totally hooked obsessed.. Came home from a holiday (in May) with covid and isolated /spent 7 days watching it from dawn till dusk.. Can't even look at it since 😭

It’s easy watching, very unrealistic fluff. It doesn’t get better. Don’t get me wrong, I watched 16 seasons and enjoyed most of them, getting weaker as they progress though. But no, don’t expect it to change.

I watched it in lockdown til about season 7/8 maybe then gave up 😆

I am on season 17 now. It gets dreadful. I am not sure why I am still watching it. I agree with the poster who said it is more like a soap than a drama. There was one particularly dark episode where they managed to intertwine 9/11 and covid with a completely implausible storyline. One among many implausible storylines. Plus, quite why they hammered home the point in the dialogue that black people were more likely to die of covid than white people and then it was their main white character who was in bed for weeks and on a vent is anybody’s guess. In fact, Koracick who was also sick is another white character and then another one (in the episode I just watched) who got a double lung transplant was also white. Like they were making one valid point in the dialogue and then completely ignoring it in how they dramatised covid.
There’s not so much moralising about social problems in the early seasons.
I do like Koracick, though, he needs a happy ending.

I love Greys but found Season 4 (and I think 16 maybe) absolute slog and really had to force myself to stick with it. I do love it though and there’s always enough characters I like watching to keep me with it!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to stop watching 😁. I thought I was missing out!

If you don't like it by season 3, you don't like it. Walk away!

Sorry, that did happen 8 years ago so i didnt think i needed to be careful about a spoiler from so long ago but i know how annoying it is so apologies!

I'm on Season 4 and love it. McDreamy is a gaslighting knobhead though. He can get in the bin. I'd agree with a PP, if you're on Season 3 and don't like it, just give up - there's so many other things to watch!
