Grey’s Anatomy, a Netflix series, returned on February 11 for Season 12.

Director Shonda Rhimes is a genius. She created the world of these surgeons back in 2003, when she was working from home as a newly single mom of an adopted daughter. Once she got the show off the ground, she gathered a team of writers who believed in her characters. These writers were so respected that their writers’ blog was almost as successful as the show.

There are new cast members and characters introduced every season which makes the show always interesting to watch.

Grey’s is a show that will make viewers cry every week. Sometimes, there’s nothing like a good cry to unwind after a long week, and Grey’s provides just that. Almost inevitably, a patient dies or is near death, but it makes for great television when one of the surgeons pulls through with a miraculous save in the final six minutes of the show.

The surgeons at this hospital put as much passion into each other as they do their work on the operating tables. Rhimes and her team created relationships, marriages, and betrayal weekly on the show.

Grey’s is known as the “never ending series,” there are 12-drama packed seasons making people not be able to stop watching it. It appeals to women, men, and teenagers that want to watch a drama-filled show.

Rhimes is known to tell stories that mirror real life more than Hollywood. Grey’s Anatomy features gay marriage, blended families, moral conflict, secret children and much more.

Viewer’s eyes are glued to the screen knowing that their favorite character’s entire life could change at any moment. On Grey’s, this happens all the time; no patient is safe, no relationship is safe, and no surgeon is safe.

Rhimes ends every season of Grey’s Anatomy with a bang. Fans have already seen the agony of watching their favorites doctors deal with plane crashes and major, sudden deaths. This is a great show for viewers to get invested in and it’s never too late to start watching how exciting Grey’s can get.
