I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy” season three via Netflix [Commentary + Review]

Grey's Anatomy (season 1)

Image via Wikipedia

I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy” season three via Netflix for I missed it when it first debut, plus everyone always mention how great of a show it is, so I am trying to play catch up with the world and experience what is it that is “Grey’s Anatomy” while giving my 2 cents of its worthiness to hold the title as a great show.

My (Short & Simple) Commentary: Preston Burke was my dude all season, he was just in boss status mode.  This season, so topped the first and second season.  Its crazy how Grey died and came back to life.   What an awesome season.

My rating on the season: 9/10

My favorite character/characters: Dr. Cristina YangDr. Alex KarevDr. Miranda BaileyDr. Preston BurkeDr. Mark Sloan, Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd.

Will I continue to on in the series: yes or no
(YES) after such an epic ending and death and so much more in this season, and the effects of the wedding break up, I must continue on.

PS: If you have any comments about the season or the show, or recommend a tv show to watch.  I am always open to opinions.  Also if you want to find out what I was watching my progress check out, My On-Going Tv Show and Movies List 2011, what I am showing now.  Remember you can always join me and sign up for Netflix today, it’s only $7.99 per month, and you can watch Netflix via your Computer, Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, iPhone, Ipad, Ipod Touch and other devices (Blackberry and android compatible devices also coming soon).

I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy” season two via Netflix [Commentary + Review]

Grey's Anatomy (season 2)

I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy” season two via Netflix for I missed it when it first debut, plus everyone always mention how great of a show it is, so I am trying to play catch up with the world and experience what is it that is “Grey’s Anatomy” while giving my 2 cents of its worthiness to hold the title as a great show.

My (Short & Simple) Commentary: This season was crazy hectic.  I was very surprised how everything turned out and how the characters fall in love and display emotions.  This season was the BOMB.

My rating on the season: 9/10

My favorite character/characters: Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) she is so sexy…Dr. Cristina Yang…I love how she well balance and just hungry for competition.   (Justin Chambers) Dr. Alex Karev is a just too cool, he just makes everyone unpleasant, its quite funny (Chandra Wilson) Dr. Miranda Bailey, She is just the boss, and strict and will get on you in a hot flash.

* I kicked Izzie Stevens off my favorite list, she is sexy but I don’t too like her vulnerable side in this season, and how her role was to play that crazy girl in love.
* I added Dr. Mark Sloan and Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd to my list of favorite characters.  They add so much craziness to the season, I so loved it.

Will I continue to on in the series: yes or no
(YES) season two turned the series a huge notch, I can’t say anything too much bad about it.

I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy” season one via Netflix [Commentary + Review]

Grey's Anatomy (season 1)

I just finished watching “Grey’s Anatomy” season one via Netflix for I missed in when I first debut, plus everyone always mention how great of a show it is, so I am trying to play catch up with the world and experience what is it that is “Grey’s Anatomy” while giving my 2 cents of its worthiness to hold the title as a great show.

My (Short & Simple) Commentary: I enjoyed this show.  I like comical aspect of it while it still is a serious show about life in a hospital and what people and family goes through.  Grey Anatomy kind of reminds me of my favorite of my favorite tv shows of  all times Six Feet Under. It’s a more pg-13 type show compare to the raw HBO show.

My rating on the season: 8/10

My favorite character/characters: Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) she is so sexy…Dr. Cristina Yang…I love how she reacts to things and she is just mad cool.  (Justin Chambers) Dr. Alex Karev is a just too cool of a dude (Chandra Wilson) Dr. Miranda Bailey, I don’t know why I love her, but her being the hard ass to everyone is quite awesome.

Will I continue to on in the series: yes or no
(YES) the first season is quite short only about 9 episodes, but I am curious to see how it progresses out of the pilot season one phase.

PS: If you have any comments about the season or the show, or recommend a tv show to watch.  I am always open to opinions.  Also if you want to find out what I was watching my progress check out, My On-Going Tv Show and Movies List 2011, what I am showing now.  Remember you can always join me and sign up for Netflix today, it’s only $7.99 per month, and you can watch Netflix via your Computer, Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, iPhone, Ipad, Ipod Touch and other devices (Blackberry and android compatible devices also coming soon).
