In under a year, Grey's Anatomy has gone from a mid-season replacement show to one of the top rated dramas on television.
The show consistently demonstrates that brilliantly written characters, a diverse cast, lots of romance, and loads of drama
set in the fast-paced world of surgery makes for an wonderful combination. The 27 episodes of Season 2 build on the brilliance
of season 1, delivering a knockout performance that is a must buy for any Grey's fan.
Grey's Anatomy is about the lives and loves of 5 young surgical interns at Seattle Grace Hospital. Placed in the most competitive
and grueling internship a hospital has, Grey's follows the doctors as they learn to become surgeons from some of the best in the
business. Season 1's nine episode run saw romance blossom between surgeries with intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and attending
physician Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) as well as intern Christina Yang (Sandra Oh) and attending surgeon Preston Burke
(Isiah Washington). Sparks also flew between fellow interns Dr. Izzy Stevens( Katherine Heigl) and Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers)
while Dr. George O'Malley (T.R McKnight) nursed an unrequited love on housemate Meredith. Every episode was filled with romance,
comedy, drama, and tension.
Season 2 delivers more of the same, beginning with Derek's previously unknown wife, Addison (Kate Walsh) showing up at Seattle Grace
to try to win back her busband, who left her after she slept with his best friend. Confronted with two women he loves, Derek is forced
to choose between them, a choice that would have wide reaching consequences. That choice and its consequences have become the central
theme for the entire second season. Other continuing story arcs are Christina and Burke's developing relationship, Izzy's and Alex's
growing chemistry (thrown for a loop with the arrival of heart patient Denny), and Meredith's still unfinished feelings for Derek,
which in season 2 cause her to do some incredibly dumb things, including breaking fan favorite George's heart. Series creater Shonda
Rimes and the rest of the writing staff don't shy away from making controversial choices with the plots, as evidenced in the shocking
3-hour season finale.
With interesting plot twists and the introduction of new characters (which can be read about in the Episode Guide of this page), Season
3 of Grey's Anatomy promises to be as good as, if not better, than the two previous seasons.
