 good season August 18, 2008
grey's anatomy has been a very consistent show giving views and fans detailed characters and thrilling and passionate story lines. i love this show.
Go for seasons 1 through 3 August 17, 2008
If you are a huge fan like me, you will like this season too. It was definitely worth watching but that's because I am addicted to the characters. I can see why some people found it a bit less thrilling, shall we say? If you are new to Grey's Anatomy or you haven't seen every episode yet I would definitely recommend you buy one of the earlier seasons.
A slow start but a strong second half redeems Grey's after a terrible 3rd season August 16, 2008
After the atrocious 3rd season, which can only be called painful, Grey's Anatomy ditched Isaiah Washington, a dead weight in most scenes in Season 3, with the exception of his excellent scenes with Patrick Dempsey. However, the show lost a lot of energy with the departure of Kate Walsh but manages to recover a little with the addition of Brooke Smith reprising her role as Erica Hahn, who shakes up the hospital in a good way.
The first three episodes are excessively weak, dragging on the silly Meredith and Derek "broken up" storyline. However, in "The Heart of the Matter" the focus on Callie Torres gives Sara Ramirez a chance to shine and starts an upward incline for the season. Episodes 9, 10 and 11 ("Crash into Me" and "Lay Your Hands on Me") are strong, reminiscent of some of the average episodes of Season 2, especially with the focus on Chandra Wilson's Miranda Bailey. The show never goes wrong with a focus on her and she gives a great performance in "Lay Your Hands on Me". Her scene with Patrick Dempsey in that episode is one of the more touching moments in the series, quiet and poignant.
Post-strike, however, the show really took off gaining an energy and focus. Previously meandering, relationships and storylines started to move towards an end point, coming together in an excellent season finale that leaves you wondering where the characters are going to go from there. The strength of the season finale is that the two main cases, Meredith and Derek's clinical trial and the boy encased in concrete, are not based on fast-paced adrenaline but rather slower, emotionally driven cases.
One of the main drawbacks of the season is the underutilization of Sandra Oh. Without having Cristina being constantly punished and "taught lessons" in her relationship with Burke, it's almost like the writers have no idea what to do with her and instead have her bouncing around as a prop in the other character's storylines. The finale remedied a little of that, and left us with some hope that Cristina will have recovered enough to be strong in her own right again. Amazing performances by Sara Ramirez, Ellen Pompeo and surprising emotional depth in the last few episodes from Justin Chamber made this a good season for Grey's Anatomy, certainly better than the wholly depressing Season 3.
 Not so magical anymore... August 12, 2008
I was an obsessive Grey's fan for a long time- i loved the show from the moment I saw the pilot. Season 2, in my opinion, was even better than season 1, but then season three started to drag. Then came season 4. As much as I loved Greys, I stopped watching it after the first few episodes. I've read many fans say here that the show quality got better after the strike, and I did watch the season finale and was happy that the show seemed to be better. But will I watch season 5? No. I'm sorry, but Greys has gotten so melodramatic, and the characters so unlikable that I don't really care what happens to them anymore. My favorite characters, George and Izzie, became almost as selfish and self-absorbed as Meredith, which is truly sad. The other factor was the odd hookups. I knew the writers were desperate when I saw they were trying to put George and Izzie together, and after that relationship started I stopped watching the show. When a friend told me that Callie had randomly turned into a lesbian I couldn't believe it. Come on! This show was always soapy and over-the-top, but the writing quality was always so strong that those factors didn't matter to me. Sadly, the storylines just became so weak that the things that used to make Greys irresistible eventually made me dislike it. This is one fan who won't be buying the DVD.

I used to adore this show. Then they removed Kate Walsh and replaced her with the most horrid, I mean HORRID choice. Dr. Hahn is awful. I can't stand to watch the show anymore. And the borderline porn scene between Callie and McSteamy was as nauseating as anything I've ever seen.
Really good shows can succeed and be fantastic without resorting to lowly scenes such as that one. I guess the writers have run out of juice.
No longer a fan and won't bother to buy season 4 because I have no interest in reliving any of what I saw.
And I agree with a the previous poster who said Dr. Bailey was the best character on the show. Dr. Bailey, Addison(why did she go?), and the Chief were my favs for sure! Also, I really think the show suffered after losing Burke. Too many dramatic changes I think.
