What to Know

Critics Consensus

A guilty pleasure that's short on guts, Grey's Anatomy and its cast of improbably fresh-faced characters may be addictive, but lack authenticity.

Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer [The producers] are not bad at cramming a gallon of plot into a one-pint IV bag, but, unfortunately, the resulting dose is a steady drip of medical-show cliches. Apr 9, 2021 Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News This, folks, is the "Anatomy" of a success. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 9, 2021 Full Review Robert Philpot Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Unless you've somehow managed to avoid ER and every other medical drama that's aired since the dawn of television, you've seen these troubles and characters before. Rated: C Apr 9, 2021 Full Review Sonia Mansfield San Francisco Examiner This is a strong cast. They make somewhat predictable material more interesting than it has any right to be. Apr 10, 2021 Full Review Rick Kushman Sacramento Bee It's a relatively well-done medical show focusing on the struggles of surgical interns, but I'd argue: How many medical shows can we take? Apr 9, 2021 Full Review John Crook Zap2it.com Pompeo is a real find, and her chemistry with the very likable Dempsey fairly jumps off the screen. Apr 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Esteban C i don’t know exactly how or exactly why, but i started this show and i got hooked! it’s quite interesting, yet sometimes disturbing, to see these characters deal with their lives inside and out of the OR! i can’t wait to keep exploring their respective lives, as well as meeting the characters to come and the storylines to develop, because there are still more than four hundred episodes (and going) left for me to watch and i plan on becoming a fan during the whole watching run Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Tamara-Leigh B Very late to the party with Grey’s anatomy! first season I have really enjoyed, I like the development of the characters and it has a good amount of humour in it as well Definitely worth a watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Zak H "Grey's Anatomy" Season 1 is a compelling mix of medical drama and personal intrigue that hooks you from the very first episode. Shonda Rhimes has crafted a show that's not only about the high-stakes world of surgery but also about the complex, often messy lives of the doctors and interns at Seattle Grace Hospital. Ellen Pompeo shines as Meredith Grey, bringing a perfect blend of vulnerability and strength to the character. Her journey as a surgical intern, dealing with the legacy of her renowned mother while navigating the intense environment of the hospital, is both relatable and fascinating. The ensemble cast is equally impressive, with standout performances from Sandra Oh as the fiercely ambitious Cristina Yang, and Patrick Dempsey as the charming yet conflicted Derek Shepherd. The writing in Season 1 is sharp and witty, balancing medical jargon with emotional depth. Each episode seamlessly weaves together medical cases with the personal stories of the characters, creating a rich tapestry that’s both entertaining and emotionally resonant. The show doesn’t shy away from tough subjects, tackling issues like mental health, relationships, and professional rivalries with a deft touch. One of the highlights of the season is its ability to develop its characters in a way that makes you care deeply about them. By the end of the season, you’re invested not just in their professional successes but in their personal growth and struggles. The chemistry between the cast members is palpable, adding an extra layer of authenticity to their interactions. Visually, "Grey's Anatomy" is slick and polished, with dynamic direction that keeps the pace brisk and engaging. The use of music is also noteworthy, enhancing the emotional impact of key scenes without feeling intrusive. While the medical cases are often dramatic and sometimes implausible, they serve their purpose in driving the narrative forward and exploring the characters' complexities. The season finale leaves you eager for more, with enough unresolved storylines and cliffhangers to make the wait for Season 2 almost unbearable. Overall, "Grey's Anatomy" Season 1 is a strong start to a series that promises to be both addictive and thought-provoking. It’s a must-watch for fans of medical dramas and anyone who enjoys character-driven storytelling with a healthy dose of heart and humor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Virginia D Saw the first episode and stopped it! Too many personal storie and not a lot of things about the medical cases. Not for me! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Savannah G It's fun to watch and see the beginning of the different characters and what they are like. Some characters can be annoying, but the plot somehow matches it, so it works out okay. It isn't enjoyable to see characters only make things about themselves when there could be a better opportunity for better acting. I Love Addison Shepherd. She is my favorite! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Max Paulo A temporada não explora muito os personagens, mas apresenta bem alguns como Cristina Yang ,Meredith Grey e Izzie Stevens. sendo assim um inicio promissor a Grey's Anatomy.
