This high-intensity medical drama follows a team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital who are faced with life-or death decisions on a daily basis. They seek comfort from one another, and, at times, more than just friendship. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white.

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.

[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. Go to Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News 04/09/2021

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. Go to Full Review Sonia Mansfield San Francisco Examiner 04/10/2021
This is a strong cast. They make somewhat predictable material more interesting than it has any right to be. Go to Full Review Rick Kushman Sacramento Bee 04/09/2021
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? Go to Full Review John Crook Zap2it.com 04/09/2021
Pompeo is a real find, and her chemistry with the very likable Dempsey fairly jumps off the screen. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Evan V. @Evan-Vaughan_Offical Oct 25 85% A strong cast, and well-written episodes make Grey’s Anatomy immediately stand out as a drama. See more Otávio T @otaviotoledo Jul 6 Excelente! O primeiro episódio é fascinante e te faz querer assistir mais e mais, isso se deve graças aos personagens super carismáticos e casos médicos bastante interessantes. See more Mike P @RT09890132 Jun 10 Weak medical show aimed at suburban housewives is a mixture of Desperate Housewives and ER; and a dash of General Hospital. The scripting is trite and silly and the acting is shallow and unconvincing. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good, and this is proof positive of that. 3 out of 4 doctors agree! See more Nicholas B @Nicholas657 May 26 Grey's Anatomy Season 1 is a strong four-star medical drama that I really enjoyed. With its compelling characters, engaging storytelling, and emotional depth, it delivers an intriguing and heartfelt introduction to the beloved series. Meredith Grey’s journey as an intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, alongside Cristina, Izzie, George, and Alex, sets the stage for intense medical cases, personal struggles, and complex relationships. A solid start to a long-running and iconic show! You can find more details about the season here. See more Esteban C @RT03454761 03/26/2025 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 See more Tamara-Leigh B @RT42543083 09/12/2024 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 See more Read all reviews
