Meredith is a first year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, the toughest surgical residency program west of Harvard. She and fellow first-year interns Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, George O'Malley and Alex Karev were students yesterday. Today they're doctors and, in a world where on the job training can be a matter of life and death, they're all juggling the ups and downs of their own personal lives.
Grey's Anatomy focuses on young people struggling to be doctors and doctors struggling to stay human. It's the drama and intensity of medical training mixed with the funny, sexy, painful lives of interns who are about to discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white. Real life only comes in shades of grey.
Sat down and watched all four episodes in one go, and I'm surprised to say that I did like it better and better as we got to know the characters. I thought it would be some crap like E.R. but to my surprise it was not. It's very well written and although it's a hospital drama, it's not as heavyhanded as E.R. and other such shows. They interact well, and they are even likeable. Especially the Meredith/Dr Shephard romance. I hope they let is grow slowly, and not force them together. It's a vital to keep the sexual tension between them. I like Dempsey, he has that wild look in his eyes when he looks at her. It's a recipe that makes for good fun. Kath Heigl is there just for the teenage droolers that like to see her boobs behind incredibly thich bra's, which she somehow always use. Not a chance of ever using a bra that won't cover 95% of her boobs. Too bad boys. I like Ellen Pompeo as Meredith much more. She's better looking, has infinitely more class, and isn't a bimbo like Heigl. I like her more and more for every episode.
