For the past two years, I have been pressured into watching 'Grey's Anatomy' on Netflix. My ex-best friend (... best friend at the time) would always call me crying, telling me how sad and crazy the show is and updated me on what's going on. I kept telling myself not to go down that route so that I wouldn't get sucked into the insane stories she would talk to me about because I didn't "have time" for crying and being hooked on a TV show! Other friends and the media would share how 'great' Meredith and Cristina's friendship was, or discuss the relationships that make/break it throughout the seasons, or even share videos that make them cry a river because they're "still sooo good".
I, like I said, am a sensitive soul. I also can never be a doctor or nurse… I. Do. Not. Do. Blood. I hate getting shots, I get very queasy when I see bloody injuries, etc…. Like really, I can barely take blood for my own benefit. So with all these reasons plus the simple fact that I don't watch/listen to anything when its being super hyped, due to the chance of having high hopes and being disappointed, I always take my time and go to it once I feel like I'm finally personally interested.
Now two years later, here I am finally starting the show and I. CAN'T. GET. ENOUGH. I try watching at least one episode a day. I know that seems off because when you are working full time (8am-6pm), seeing family, running errands, taking care of myself, being a pet mom, etc., you're beyond tired. But I will literally force myself to stay awake through at least an episode before finally falling asleep.
What I have fallen in love with so far is all the chisme (aka drama) going on within all the interns and doctors working in the hospital. It was crazy enough that the main character, Meredith, had a one night stand the day before her new first day being an intern at a hospital… only to find out that the guy she slept with is a doctor aka her boss at the hospital!! How wild! There's plenty of humor/pettiness in all the stuff that has gone on so far. Meredith and Cristina (one of the other interns), are super cute. They both are just very straightforward towards each other, don't judge each other's actions, and both support each other and put them in their place when it's needed.
I am currently halfway done with Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy and I'm losing my mind. Meredith and Derek drive me completely INSANE. I don't like Addison, Cristina needs to learn how to love Preston before it's too late and Alex really isn't all that cute even though he's supposed to be the 'cute intern' in the show. If you haven't watched this show… YOU BETTER START TODAY. TODAY! It's a crazy show with life lessons, real-world situations/surgeries that go on in hospitals, and more. You'll thank me later.
