Review

This new to 2005 TV series focuses on the lives of a group of young new surgical residents in Seattle. The title character is Dr. Meredith Grey whose mother now in early dementia was a renowned surgeon. The young Dr. Grey is played by Ellen Pompeo a fairly experienced young actress who has a face that is more interesting than beautiful but her acting is believable making her a good choice for the role. All the others think she may be getting preferred treatment but we see that she appears to be a gifted doctor.

The good ensemble cast includes quite a few but I have three other favorites. Sandra Oh plays Dr. Yang ambitious always trying to get picked to assist in surgery and in recent episodes has begun a clandestine affair with Dr Burke (Houstonian Isaiah Washington) one of members of the surgical team. The other is Chandra Burke another Houstonian as the nazi Dr. Miranda Bailey. She is in charge of the new residents and makes them understand early that when she is sleeping they should only disturb her if someone is on the verge of death. She really is a good and kind character but she has to play it tough to establish boundaries.

So far I have only seen two or three episodes but they have been interesting wellwritten and wellacted. Not the usual "doctor" soap series.
