I like all of the relevant insight in to the stress of working in a hospital during the pandemic but Meredith's back and forth health has gotten a bit tedious.

It's Not Political, It's True
rabbijennifer16 July 2021
I held off on watching the season as it came out because I wanted TV to be an escape from reality, which this is not. That said, I don't see how GA, or any medical show, could have ignored the pandemic. Good job to the creators, cast, and crew for trying to educate the audience.
Yes, there's been a lot of talk about black and brown individuals being infected and dying at higher rates. Yes, there was an earlier story about a Caucasian girl being trafficked, and now the information about people of color being trafficked at higher rates. It's political. It's true. The pandemic has brought this into public knowledge. It's not political to use education and knowledge to change the world for the better. The pandemic and what's happening in the US (and also in other countries) has thrust racism into the limelight. It's time we addressed it. Movies and TV have always tried to show us what needs changing in the world. GA is no different.

I guess some folks can't handle a realistic show
thedudebryant24 December 2020
Judging from some of the reviews I guess folks want fantasy. There's plenty to watch in that regard. Grey's is more realistic than ever this season. Meredith seeming ok and then backtracking is exactly what happens to some Covid patients. The stress the doctors are under and being pissed off that some folks won't take this virus seriously. Oh and what Maggie said is correct as well. So get over yourselves and watch some fantasy show if that's what you want but this show is great.
Meredith's Worse Situation
ZegMaarJus24 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This Episode begins with Tom, he is still in a hospital bed with covid symptoms. Meredith is feeling much better, she finally woke up after 8 days of sleep. Richard tells his staff that they get twice numbers of patient, because Seattle Pres Hospital is full. Opal shows up again at the hospital. Bailey is proud how Andrew is coping with his mental health. Meredith fainted. Teddy tells Owen that she was in love with Allison. Meredith is back in a bad situation after she fainted. Solid Episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 17, this was okay. So much talking about race, it is really not needed. This Series is getting a bit too woke sometimes!
Just stop watching

I don't understand people who complain, complain and complain about tv shows.
Just don't watch, get over it.
Also if you can't deal with real issues I don't think Greys is the program for you.
COVID is killing people and choosing to ignore it just proves how ignore some of you are.
Just watch something that's as pathetic as most reviewers. Switch on Love island or something.

Racial topics are handled very badly.

There's a lot of focus this season on sistemic racism, specially for black people. What's weird is that it's always talked about by the same character, the others just listen and say "yeah it sucks".
It feels like the sole purpose of that character this season is to talk about those issues. It also feels like she's always repeating the same topics every time she makes a monologue, like she always mentions the covid mortality rate for black people for some reason?

When the Trump supporters dislike it, it must be good!
klazterp-8445012 March 2021
I know, you people don't like to reminded of Covid. But do you really expected Greys to just ignore it and act like nothing was wrong? Like you know, the Loser?
And btb: you don't have to watch it if you dislike it so much. I mean, it's like cancel culture in action with you people!
Anyhoo: another excellent episode. Thematic, suspenseful and well acted. Keep on going!

emily-uk23 January 2021
Depressing and not entertaining. No story again just COVID and more racism pushing political opinions. Honestly none of the characters are likeable anymore. I am almost hoping Meredith dies so the show will end before they ruin it so much I won't even want to rewatch earlier seasons as I know how far it falls.
The show has taken a turn

Disappointed

Get back to basic
loriainsley1 January 2021
I've watched every episode of every past season. I've been so invested in all of the characters. But you have made the show the season nothing but racism and Covid. If I want reality I'll turn on the news. Get back to basics or you're gonna find that you're going to lose a lot of viewers
Just. Stop.

Way too much political pressure

Enough !
tmccheyne6 May 2021
Oh my...what had happened to this programme. It's become a platform for politics and Black Lives Matter.
Yes they do matter. The pandemic is NOT just killing black people, STOP saying and preaching that. It is killing all different races. If you have lost your brother (yes he was white) who was fully fit, no health problems. It killed him in 21 days. Why do you keep saying it is Only black people. Why are you saying 9nly black girls are taken for the sex trade. This is not right. Again it is females of all races and young enough to be taken and traded.
This is getting to be a ridiculous show. Stop the preaching, and yes depict all lives but stop being so anti white, because that is not the way forward. It is showing that we are all equal that is important. You are creating what you want to eradicate inequality but doing the opposite.

They have not only jumped the shark, but killed it was a chainsaw!
scottfurletti21 January 2021
The show certainly jumped the shark many many years ago, perhaps with the person turning into a tree!! The show has become almost laughable at this point from where it started 17 seasons ago. Every season cliffhanger has either a serial killer, mass killer, fire, or some other type of natural disaster that puts everybody in the hospital at risk. The past few seasons have really started to pile into delivering political messages. This season, not only weighted into the pool but dove into the deep end. The show is now nothing more than a vehicle for its creator to push a political agenda.
Horrible

Lost its touch
aranatorifreeman6 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I made an account so I could leave this review. There is no story line aside from Meredith being sick for this whole season so far and then it looked like this episode was about to take a turn for the better and it plummeted. Way OTT on racism, it's being pumped in at every possible angle and the same lines are constantly being repeated about covid too. They could have made it something so so special but the script seems so rushed and the acting is brutally repetitive.
You are here for MY entertainment
jadam-4233131 January 2021
So annoyed that this show wants me to relive what I have already been through. We lived this, we don't need to recapped it already. Since when did you think we don't want to escape reality in watching a TV show? I won't watch any more of the season.
Despair says it all...
lmlyp9 January 2021
This a a completely different show now. It has slowly declined from the early seasons, but it fell off a cliff in season 17. It would be nice if you could watch shows to escape "reality", but the days of that seem to be long gone.
What was once a great show, is now garbage.
