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

Infatuation for this twisty drama will have worn off for many viewers as the plotting gets increasingly ludicrous, but fans of these amorous doctors will still find plenty to love.

Emily St. James Slant Magazine Mar 16, 2020
Grey's went through a period where it took itself a little too seriously, but it has mostly returned to the zesty blend of soap opera, sitcom and romantic drama that distinguished its first two seasons. Go to Full Review Gregory Kirschling Entertainment Weekly Mar 16, 2020
Three whole seasons in, I still love watching these two flailing hot people -- he soft, she hard -- trade well-turned TV wooing dialogue. It still works; it's still romantic. Go to Full Review Gillian Flynn Entertainment Weekly Mar 14, 2017

Grey's Anatomy never pretended to be as deep as Lost. At its best, it's a serious guilty pleasure: death, disease, hot bodies swaddled in scrubs. But, frankly, the women are awful. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim Jul 29, 2023
3/4
One intern will get married to a superior while another is left standing at the altar. Two interns will lose their parents. And one main character will try to die by suicide--or not fight very hard to save her own life. Go to Full Review Christopher Monfette IGN Movies Mar 16, 2020
6/10
Tragedy is not always drama -- sometimes you have to let your characters smile and allow the grin to stay awhile. Reducing everything to tears and hopeless self-loathing isn't good writing; it's desperate craftsmanship. Go to Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine Mar 16, 2020

Evan V. @Evan-Vaughan_Offical Dec 7, 2025 A solid follow up to season two, even if it is not as insane. See more Max Paulo @RT09946430 Aug 27, 2023 Ruim, muito ruim sem humor, sem graça, os personagens poderiam ser qualquer um que já foi visto na tv, é triste ver o show afundar deste jeito. See more Nov 4, 2018 Pessoalmente, eu amei a terceira temporada (incluindo o seu primeiro episódio). Fiquei muito feliz quando o Derek declarou o seu amor a Meredith. O acidente trágico do ferryboat foi de tirar o fôlego... E, finalmente, o término da temporada foi tão triste e o meu coração partiu-se aos pedaços quando Cristina, Meredith e Derek permanecem juntos.
