Grey's Anatomy

Is this hot baker here to stay, or...?

Season 20’s premiere ended with a nostalgic stroke of brilliance, restoring Bailey to the position that first made us adore her. This could be her best season yet.

“Grey’s Anatomy” is not frivolous entertainment, but a pillar of the television community, and its beautifully soapy identity doesn’t change that.

The show’s newest interns might be the most mischievous we’ve seen since Izzie cut the LVAD wire, but their nonsense is still just the tip of the iceberg.

Amidst a cancellation spree, a writers’ strike, a streaming existential crisis, and nostalgia for old shows, it’s impossible to define or make sense of the current era of TV.

For 18 years, Meredith Grey has been saving lives, making mistakes, and resolving her past trauma. Her exit was a celebration of just how brilliant and impossible she can be.

“I lied and there’s no excuse for it. But there’s context for it,” Elisabeth Finch says in her first interview since being outed, adding that she wants to get back to TV writing.
