Grey's Anatomy Addiction

It was for one night that I tried watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy from a full season 1 DVD (which I did not intend to borrow). And it took only that night, no, it took only one episode to get me hooked on the series. Now I find myself not able to stop watching it!

Enter Meridith Grey, the main protagonist of the show. She is smart and has great potential. But the main problem with her, in my perspective, is that she always have love problems. Well, everybody has love problems, but she never solves hers. I know her character is written that way, and some of my friends say that the main theme of the show is about her love story(to which I disagree).

Enter Cristina, Izzie, and George, the three co-interns of Meridith, who throughout the series, has their own personal life problems. All four of them resolve their issues, while trying to help the patients at Seattle Grace Hospital recover, cope, and live. The show also brings in many memorable characters and stories, which can make you appreciate your life.

Nah, this post seems out of the theme, but just wanted to share my thoughts about the show.

For me, the main theme of the show is the struggle of the interns to pass their residency while at the same time, balancing their personal and professional lives.

Oh, by the way, my favorite characters are Miranda and George. Miranda simply gets the best lines on the show while George's character is the most misunderstood and underwritten.
