@cmonster Shonda's M.O. is the preachy soapbox. She lacks nuance and authenticity. It's a shame, because she tackles some worthy issues, just not in a way that doesn't make the topics feel trite and the audience scolded. Do you watch The Resident? S2E20 "If Not Now, When?" takes an important issue and delivers it in a way that left me feeling gut-punched in the most effective way. Shonda could take a lesson...or eight.

I don't watch the show but I had to watch this episode because it was the first part of a crossover with "Station 19." I have to say WAY too much drama for me, even more than "Station 19."
I know it's a show centered around the doctors, but seriously I can't seriously see these people as competent physicians when compared to other medical dramas. WAY too many mistakes, breakdowns, unrealistic patient/doctor interactions, WAY too many doctor/doctor interactions (wink) and all in just one episode! Not very professional.
Glad that I was able to fill in the blacks after watching "Station 19" and then realizing the first part was this episode but this show still won't be added to my regular rotation. I enjoy a good medical drama but I prefer those dealing with real medical emergencies and less sophomoric drama and not so much social justice peacocking either.
