Review: Grey’s Anatomy: Season One

by

Due to the craziness of Christmastime I haven’t been watching as many movies as I usually do which makes doing reviews more difficult. However, I did rent the first season of Grey’s Anatomy at Blockbuster last week. I always heard people talking about this show but for some reason I never caught it on TV until recently, but since I didn’t know what was going on I decided to rent the previous seasons and catch up with the rest of the world.

Grey's Anatomy Season One DVD cover The show is based on Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and four other surgical interns: Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Isobel “Izzie” Stevens (Katherine Heigl), George O’Malley (T.R. Knight) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers). Meredith and the others struggle with the pressures of their new jobs made more difficult perhaps by the resident they were assigned to, Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) nicknamed “The Nazi”. When Meredith had a one night stand with a handsome man in a bar, she had no idea that man would turn out to be their boss, Dr. Shepard (Patrick Dempsey), an attending at Seattle Grace Hospital. Another attending as the hospital, Dr. Burke (Isaiah Washington) faces a similar secret relationship. The drastic changes in the lives of the new interns force them all to deal with new issues concerning family, co-workers, and forbidden relationships.

This DVD contains 9 episodes, some unaired scenes, behind the scenes footage and a few other extras. Short but sweet, since it’s only the first season.

Cast of Grey's Anatomy

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this show since I was so unfamiliar with it and the actors were virtually unknown before the show began, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I’ve always been a fan of hospital dramas for some reason (House is one of my favorite shows) so I guess I shouldn’t have been so surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The reason why this show is so entertaining is not just the interesting patients and incidences that occur in the hospital, but more the characters. The storyline of the show is based mostly on character development, which works well because of such a wonderful cast. How could anyone not love Patrick Dempsey’s character “McDreamy”? But it turns out my favorite character on the show is George (played by T.R. Knight). His nervous, sweet, innocent ways are so endearing which makes his character so adorable! They all do a great job with the diverse roles of the different characters and the stories are very addicting. The season ends with quite the cliffhanger so I’ll have to go rent season two to find out what happens. I know everyone and their mom has been addicted to this show since the beginning but…better late than never I guess.
