Review: Grey’s Anatomy

Meet the group of inspired young interns in Seattle Grace Hospital, who are struggling to be doctors in the interim, struggling to stay humans. Imagine the drama and full-flavor of medical training concocted with hilarious, sexy, yet agonizing lives of the interns who are embarking on a journey to discover the real color of life – grey just as the show’s title suggests.

Grey’s Anatomy revolves round Meredith Grey whose medical ambition is overshadowed by a troubling secret: Her mother, a noted pioneering surgeon, is battling with a tragic and devastating illness.

The other interns include Cristina Yang – an aggressive, cut-throat and arrogant Asian American who is highly competitive and eschews any favors in order to make it on her own; Izzie Stevens - small-town girl who grew up dirt poor and, in spite of paying for her medical career by modeling, still struggles with her self-esteem; George O'Malley - the warm but insecure boy next door who always manages to do or say the wrong thing at the wrong time and lastly Alex Karev - the intern the other interns love to have, masks his working class roots with arrogance and ambition.

Miranda Bailey, a senior resident who is liable for their training, plays the tough cookie that is tagged with the label of “The Nazi”. Together with the hot, sexy Derek Shepherd who is a flirtatious yet very capable surgeon who shares a forbidden but undeniable sexual attraction with Meredith; and Preston Burke whose arrogance reign second only to his skills with a scalpel, this team of doctors are determined to sculpture them into skilled surgeons or break them. Overseeing them all is Dr. Richard Webber, Seattle Grace’s paternal, but no-nonsense chief of surgery.

Every episode is highly engaging with a few raunchy scenes slotted in between all the bloody and gruesome accidents scenes. It is sure to leave the audience lingering for more I would rank this second next to Desperate Housewives. It is most definitely a show not to be missed. Every Monday, 11pm, Channel 5.
