Grey’s Anatomy

Though Grey’s Anatomy is a beloved soap opera, it’s been on for so long that it can’t possibly keep up the quality it once had.

After beginning in 2005, the original seasons were truly great. But around 10 years in, during Season 11 in 2015, it started to lose most of what was good about it. That’s also when creator Shonda Rhimes left the show.

At its current iteration, it has long since lost the majority of its original main cast members, including Patrick Dempsey (McDreamy), Eric Dane (McSteamy), Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, Justin Chambers, and Sara Ramirez. Now, people who still watch the ABC drama lament that it’s lost secret sauce when it stopped connecting the patients’ struggles to the internal world of the doctor fixing them.
