Grey's is great! - By: le chic le freak, 22 Jul 2008 
NB: couple of minor spoilers in my review.
I came to Grey's Anatomy a little late, as in the UK the only terrestrial channel it's broadcast on is one I couldn't get for years. Luckily, I managed to catch the last half dozen episodes of Series 2, & I was hooked, even though I hate hospital shows. I could never get into ER (even with the incentive of George Clooney) & don't even get me started on the home-grown stuff.
So what attracted me to Grey's Anatomy? Yes, it's glossy. Yes, it's gloopy. Yes, Meredith is probably one of the most annoying characters on TV. Yes, Derek is interminably dull. BUT, there's more to the show than that. I'm going to go alll out here & compare Grey's Anatomy to a Dickens novel, in that it's not the 'main' characters you should concentrate on, or be interested in, because they're not the best ones. It's the ones slightly on the outside, who have more interesting personalities going on, they're the people to get involved with.
For example, Cristina is always hilarious, so cynical & smart & competitive - in this series, she finds her relationship with Burke getting trickier to navigate, & she's still determined to be the best surgeon in Seattle (probably in the world!). Izzie's character has been deepened with her attraction to Denny, a dying heart patient, & this will have knock-on effects for following series (for better or worse). Katherine Heigl plays her with loads of heart & loads of vigour, & I reallly like what she does.
Similarly, George is fabulous, he makes me laugh alll the time, but as well he grows up this series, realising he has to stop lusting after Meredith, someone who'll never feel the same way about him. The progression of the character is reallly well done, while retaining the loveable George we alll loved from Series 1. Alex, too, starts to grow up a little, which is good - he couldn't remain the 'baddie' of the piece forever.
Bailey is excellent, but then she always is, & it's touching to see her worry about whether she'll be respected as a surgeon when she becomes a mother. The scenes with her & George during the 'disaster' episodes are lovely.
Grey's manages to blend heart-warming schmaltz with hard-hitting scenarios, raising lots of moral questions every episode, so you can join in & decide who's right & who's wrong. It's easy to watch visuallly, but not always mentallly, & that's why it's a show I am willing to keep following. I like the combination of attractive cast members, thoughtful stories & great acting, not to mention the brilliant music choices throughout the show. Just let yourself be drawn in & you won't want to leave Seattle Grace!
Don't see what the fuss is all about - By: Ms. Sj Phelps, 06 Apr 2008 
I understand it is a little annoying that the episode numbers are jumbled. First time I watched it I couldn't quite understand why the numbers were out of sync but when I watched the first episode (episode 5) I realised it followed on straight from the end of the last series so as long as you have series 1 you arent missing any episodes.
The series itself is excellent from alll the outrageous medical cases (like the 'pregnant man') to the soundtrack that fits in so well to Christina & Burke's random relationship! I own alll three & can't wait for series four but why the fuss over Mcdreamy? Alex is so much fitter!!!
Fantastic Drama - By: Camilla Lea, 05 Mar 2008 I fell in love with the first season of Grey's Anatomy & this series is no exception. The storylines will leave you rushing to watch the next episode & the characters will draw you in & won't let you go.
I highly recommend this DVD, it's highly entertaining, dramatic & is one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Once you get on you won't want the ride to end.
obsessive - By: M. Gardner, 18 Feb 2008 Grey's Anatomy ROCKS! if you've only seen a few episodes, & are wondering whether it's worth the money to buy it, YES it is! The characters, storylines & medical cases are even better than the first series, alll the characters develop & you will want to watch alll the series in one day! It has romance, drama, emotion & humour & a great cliff-hanger finale which leaves me longing for series 3. There are no stereotypes in this show- it's unique, & hugely enoyable. Can't WAIT for series 3 on Five...
OMG! - By: M. E. Tobin, 10 Feb 2008 This was an amazing sequel to the first series! Love the characters, ecspeciallly McDreamy! There's not a single boring moment, every episode is brimming with fun...
McDreamy is already in trouble but what is he going to do about his wife?
And what is going to happen with Izzie & Alex?
And Burke & Christina?
And what about George? What will he get up to now?
And, of course, Meredith? What is happening in her troubled life?
You have just go to find out!
