Now that I have your attention (lol) "Grey's Anatomy" is one of those shows that you can get hooked on instantly or at least I did. Some how it keeps you hooked and you just find yourself coming back, wanting to know what happened next. The story, the characters, everything about it is good. But there are some things you should know before you start binge watching it.
1. Be prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that "Grey’s Anatomy" is.
Each character goes through struggles of their own. There’s deaths, plane crashes, and so much more that happen when you least expect it. 13 seasons worth of anything and everything that you can think of, these characters are gonna get through it and you'll be right there with them every step of the way.
2. You’ll fall in love with different characters and then hate them the next episode.
Each character will go through a phase where you don't like them or you'll be mad at them for not doing what they shouldn't do. But the next episode you'll forget what happened and love them again because of something they said or they did.
3. When everyone is happy and everything is going good, savor that because it won't last long.
There's times where it seems like everyone is happy and everything is good in the hospital, savior those times. They don't last. It actually feels like everything is too good and something bad is literally just around the corner. When everything is all happy and good hold on to those, okay, because you don't know how long it'll last.
4. Trust me when I say that at times you’re gonna cry. There’s no doubt about it.
You get emotionally invested into the patients that all the surgeons have, whether it's a little girl or an old lady. Like I said earlier you get attached to the characters and everything that goes on in their personal lives as well as their work lives. So be prepared to cry at anything from a character's death to a relationship ending and everything in between.
5. Listen to some of the things all the characters say.
This is going to sound weird but there’s a lot of good life advice that each catch gives. Whether it's about relationships, pain, grief, happiness, or life, in general, some of the quotes are great and get you thinking about everything.
6. Also, Dr. Webber and Dr. Bailey are the Hospital mom and dad.
I'm not sure if the gif helps you understand or not but I’m not kidding these doctors are like their children. They watch them go from interns to doctors. They teach these doctors everything they know. Even after 13 seasons the interns turned doctors are still learning things from Webber and Bailey.
7. Alex Karev may be a jerk in the beginning, but just wait: you’ll love him.
Listen to me when I say this because Karev is one of my favorite characters now but in the beginning I hated him. It's okay to hate him at first though since he is a jerk but just wait because he'll prove you wrong.
8. Another thing, you're not going to want to listen to the songs "Chasing Cars" or "How To Save A Life."
Why, you ask? Because these songs are used when anything bad happens in the hospital. This show has ruined these two songs for me. I mean you might be different but at least you can be prepared, right?
9. Everyone leaves or everyone dies.
Well if that doesn't sum up all what happens in the show, I'm not sure what will. Just be prepared.
After all that I hope you still watch "Grey's Anatomy" because its one of those shows that'll keep you hooked. And remember 'It's a beautiful day to save lives'
Happy Binge Watching!
