Movie Description
For viewers bored or distressed by the constant gore and breakneck speed of hospital dramas like ER, GREY'S ANATOMY comes as a breath of fresh air. Unlike other shows set in the world of medicine, this series is just as concerned with its characters' personal lives as with their medical careers, and thrives by stressing the way in which the two intertwine. After all, for surgical interns who have chosen to dedicate their lives to medicine, the hospital largely becomes their home. Extremely well-written, the series mixes serious issues like mortality with funny storylines and wit. Each character is well developed and individualized, coming off as real rather than stereotypical.
Rather than standing on its own, each medical challenge sheds some light on the doctors' personal experiences, bringing the hospital environment to a refreshingly relevant level. While the series may not be the most realistic medical drama on television, it is certainly the most compelling and entertaining, containing such juicy plotlines as love triangles, affairs between coworkers, and secret romances. This release contains every episode from the show's well received second season, picking up right where the first left off, with Meredith discovering that her boyfriend, Derek, has been hiding the fact that he's married. Shocked and betrayed, Meredith embarks on a messy healing process that involves angry shouting matches and a string of one-night stands. As usual, the show avoids taking itself too seriously by interjecting serious themes with lighthearted dialogue and humorous medical emergencies. Rounding out the already impressive ensemble cast are new characters like Derek's wife (Kate Walsh) and new love interests for most of the cast. While the season contains plenty of laughs, it keeps the intensity up as well, and ends on a decidedly somber note.
Industry Reviews
"The strength of GREY'S...are even more sturdy in marathon DVD viewing. As season 2 unfolds, Sandra Oh's Cristina and particularly Chandra Wilson's Miranda expertly evolve what could have been shrill, one-note characters..." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Henry Goldblatt (09/15/2006)
5 stars out of 5 -- "It's emotionally intense, frequently tear-inducing, funny, smart and exciting. With phenomenal writing and an incredibly talented ensemble cast..."
Ultimate DVD - Paul Spragg (10/01/2006)
"The second season made this the hottest show on TV..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/30/2006)
