The medical drama's second season could be diagnosed as bipolar; in other words, it got much worse and much better at the same time. Whiny, self-involved surgical intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), arguably the weakest spot in the otherwise likeable ensemble, had already left viewers annoyed. But season two, in which Meredith coped with being dumped by her married McDreamy (a.k.a. neurosurgeon Derek, a.k.a. Patrick Dempsey) by excessive drinking, sleeping around, gazing like a sad puppy and--unforgivable!--breaking the heart of longtime admirer/friend George (the cuddly T.R. Knight), could have alienated audiences for good. (Seriously, sometimes you want to shake the girl and feed her some cookies.) Thankfully, what Meredith's storyline threatened to derail was held together by some emotional episodes, including "Into You Like a Train," in which a pair of strangers are impaled together on a metal pole, and "Much Too Much," featuring a mother's quintuplets in critical condition. But the standout show that turned Grey's Anatomy into a television force came with the January 2006 post-Super Bowl episode, a two-parter involving a "code black" lockdown when a live bomb is housed inside a patient. Romance also remained key to the staff at Seattle Grace: Steely Cristina (Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh) softens, to her great dismay, as her relationship with Dr. Burke (Isaiah Washington) gets serious; Izzie (Katherine Heigl) pairs up, then breaks up, with Alex (Justin Chambers, the villain of the cast if you had to name one) before falling in love with flirty, tender heart patient Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Derek and estranged wife Addison (Kate Walsh, who somehow managed to win over Meredith-McDreamy fans despite being the Other Woman) make attempts at fixing their marriage, and Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson, easily a standout) tries to balance a medical career with mommyhood. Even George finds a new love with orthopedic surgeon Callie (Sara Ramirez). The season wraps up with a weeper of a two-part finale, set at the hospital during a "prom" (it's complicated). But with the fancy gowns and tuxes, tears and romantic tension, leading to a crossroads for Meredith and Derek, you can bet the episodes are a delight for any Grey's fan. The show also continues to rely heavily on narration (not a good thing) and soundtracks (a good thing), using tracks from artists before they hit it big (KT Tunstall, Brandi Carlisle, Snow Patrol). On the DVD Four of the episodes get an extended treatment, though the tag line "too steamy for television!" is overreaching a bit. Oh is the only actor to turn up on a commentary, which is otherwise just the writers and producers congratulating each other. Walsh turns up the charm in "The Doctors are In," in which characters answer fans' questions, but Chambers appears noticeably drab and disinterested. Despite "Uncut" being in the title, the special features aren't anything you'll be watching again and again. Save that rewind button for the show itself. --Ellen A. Kim

My Favorite Season! July 9, 2008
The second season of Grey's is my favorite, by far! If you haven't caught this show, you really need to get the seasons and start watching!
Season two was just perfectly filled with medical and love-life drama. Emmy winning/worthy storylines and performances from the cast. I haven't watched a show in a long time that has managed to pull me in like this and tie my emotions. I have actually cried watching Grey's- and that doesn't happen often. Even more, it's a show that every week I anticipate watching and look forward to. I'd NEVER miss an episode. Grey's is SO much better than ER, especially right now.
Hands down, I recommend this show to anyone who likes drama- both medical and personal life. Grey's has a good mix of the two, but this season probably does have a bit more of the personal life drama. The cast for this show all deserve an Emmy!
Love Grey's Anatomy June 9, 2008
I didn't start watching Grey's until the second season. I have a busy (multi-tasking) schedule and am not able to watch the whole shows at times. This allows me to watch them on my schedule, instead of the rerun schedule.
Completely amazing June 2, 2008
This show is so great! The story continues to be outstanding, the actors all fit right into their parts which make it all seem so real. It is very fast paced...but maybe thats just because I couldn't stop myself and watched the entire season in 3 days...! The only thing I have to complain about is that there are some characters or patients that are the focal point of one episode, but then are not even mentioned in the next without having any closure. (SPOILER WARNING) Especially Meredith's dad, and how he, his new wife and daughter are at the hospital for his daughter's baby, but you don't hear anything about how Meredith or the other characters respond to them after that episode. Or when Meredith's mom dominates, but then is quickly forgotten. If you are only reading this review, and you haven't seen season 2, these complaints are much smaller than they seem in writing because of the amazing way that the show is pulled off. You can't help but love it.
Love this show! May 22, 2008
i have watched this show from the start. i find it different from most hospital shows. you are somehow drawn to the main characters and you share empathy with them. its just plain entertaining.i think they chose the "right" actors to play each character. there is not always a happy ending, so i do find it more realistic than most. its one of those shows that "hooks" you!
Heavn for Grey's Anatomy fans May 13, 2008
For someone dear to me, this whole series is in the "GOTTA HAVE IT" category. 'Tis a lovely and thoughtful series that goes where little commercial TV has been willing to go. Grey's Anatomy actually assumes its viewers are intelligent.
