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.

3.5/5
The first episode tonight is a lively and often funny instalment of this long-running series that also, of course, contains the necessary cry quotient. Number two isn't quite as good but keeps all the relationship action chugging along. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 09/27/2019

No one is ever going to quit expressing astonishment that Grey's Anatomy is still on the air. But if the show wants to keep itself fresh for season 16, a whole new hospital, led by Alex, of all people, is an inventive way to do that. Go to Full Review Cristina Escobar LatinaMedia.Co 06/25/2021

A Stima Arte T @RT09946430 May 22 The formula went wrong, terrible plots, few good episodes and moments that made you want to change the channel See more Nicholas B @Nicholas657 05/26/2025 Grey's Anatomy Season 16 is an outstanding five-star medical drama season that I absolutely admire. With its intense storytelling, emotional depth, and compelling character arcs, it delivers a gripping and dramatic experience. The season explores major conflicts, including Meredith Grey’s fight for her medical license, Alex Karev’s unexpected departure, and the evolving relationships among the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. See more 02/03/2021 The season overall was good. The major thing I had an issue with is how they wrote Alex off the show. His character would never leave Jo and go back to Izzy and just write letters to his friends. Jo has already been through so much, and he wouldn't do that to her. Jo is better for Alex than Izzy. I get he found out he has kids, but still, it's not what Alex would do. Maybe the old Alex, but not the later seasons Alex. See more 11/15/2020 I don't understand how people can like this season. How Alex left the show? Makes absolutely no sense. All 15 seasons of character development down the drain. Krista Vernoff should be ashamed of herself for ruining the entire season. See more 06/21/2020 another family fave. See more 05/17/2020 This season was hurt by two things: the departure of Justin Chambers and COVID-19. With these aspects ignored, the season was good. The latter half was better than the first. DeLuca, Amelia & Link, and Richard's arcs were the best this season. The Pac North arc seemed like a huge waste of time since Chambers left, and the writing changes to work around it have been really messy. I‘m not a fan of Teddy and her indecisiveness, though the emotional development of Tom is wonderful to see. With regards to Alex and Izzie, the writer's case for Alex's departure was believable, but only if you ignore season 15 and all of the progress that was made. It was not their best work. I'll admit though - the introduction of Hayes signals it may be time for the series to end. But in a good way. I'm excited to see what happens with season 17. See more Read all reviews
