Grey's Anatomy (2005) guide: plot, main cast, 23 seasons on ABC, PG rating and where to watch Shonda Rhimes' medical drama in the Philippines.

Grey’s Anatomy plot: what the series is about

Grey’s Anatomy is an American medical drama created by Shonda Rhimes. It takes viewers inside a busy hospital in Seattle, Washington. The story begins with a fresh batch of surgical interns starting the most demanding stage of their training. Among them is Meredith Grey, whose name gives the series its title.

The interns face punishing shifts, strict senior doctors and fierce competition for time in the operating room. Each shift brings new patients, emergencies and trauma cases. At the same time, the young doctors are still working out who they are outside the hospital. Their friendships, rivalries, romances and family pressures follow them into the wards, and the line between work and private life is rarely clear.

The series balances the cases of the day with the ongoing personal lives of the staff. It is as much a workplace drama about ambition and belonging as it is a hospital show. The current tagline, “Begin again.”, sums up its focus on people who keep starting over, both professionally and personally.
