I've seen so many reviews on this show and most people will say, "What happened to this show? It used to be good and went downhill". But let me tell you. This show was starting off on top of an ant hill. There's not much nose diving that needs to happen to make this show bad.
This show is 1/3 ER, 1/3 scrubs, and 1/3 HIPAA violation and fraternizing with will they/won't they. You'll get about 30% decent medical terminology and about 70% actions in the workplace that are for me, cringey, as well as get you automatically fired. Grey's anatomy really set the bar for how "Jerry Springer" they wanted medical dramas to be that one could even argue, became the death of ER due to them trying to compensate for people's taste in the low-brow after Grey's Anatomy's release.
ER tried to up the ante with the amount of ridiculous "pearl-clutching" drama they could fit into a hospital. Mass shooter there, pedophile here, malpractice sprinkled here because of ethics. Grey's Anatomy puts the brakes on that a little bit and full throttles on the sex, sex, sex. Penis envy everywhere, gender role jokes, STIs, Who's hot, who's not, Sex everyday, and literally makeup kissing and sex at the workplace every time someone has confused emotions. If women truly are the demographic here, they have no right to ever say anything bad about super macho demographic TV ever again.
With all of this said, I can let some of it go to watch even the first few seasons as I've seen many medical dramas. But I personally don't get any reciprocation from this show besides the fact that semi-attractive people are saying sarcastic and sexual quips. Even the camera work, outside work scenes, patient care, and everything else DOES NOT TAKE A BREAK from this. I'm starting to think you really have to have your hormones in a bunch or think sex humor is top-tier comedy to really not feel emotionally drained from this show.
