Noam S If you're a grey's fan, definitely watch. The show is captivating and has interesting plot lines and drama. The character's are portrayed flawlessly. However, there were multiple times where the main characters made some very wrong and uncharacteristic choices, and the show's script somehow made them appear in the right, sending some wrong messeges. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
