Grey's Anatomy

 

 

           Recently most of my free time has been spent binge watching the entire Grey’s Anatomy series on Netflix, and trying to watch the maximum of episodes of Grey’s Anatomy that I could fit into one day.  If you have not gotten yourself to watch at least one Grey’s Anatomy episode you are going about life wrong. Grey’s Anatomy is a one hour long show that tells the story of multiple people’s lives who work at the Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington narrated by the main character Meredith Grey played by Ellen Pompeo. Although, by my description it sounds like a cheesy soap opera filled with dramatic looks, and fake slaps about twice an episode, but it’s not like that at all.

            Grey’s Anatomy is an important show to most of the teen culture where I live, and I began to wonder, why? Of course, many like it for the excitement, and curiosity that the show offers. At least every episode someone’s life is on the line, and there’s an extreme case that you never knew could happen such as a boy getting stuck in tons of concrete, or even a man being pregnant. These extreme cases that happen on the show leave people eager to click on the next episode.

            Also, I believe that people watch Grey’s Anatomy or shows like it for another reason. All of the people on the show are relatively normal. They have break up’s, they fail tests, and yes they even drop kidneys on the operating floor. Watching these people who are saving lives daily, and have to be perfect in the operating room, diagnosing the patient, etc mess up although it sounds ude, but it’s kind of comforting.

            I think Grey’s Anatomy is a popular show, because it is entertaining, but also because it reminds us that everyone is human even the people we expect to save our lives.
