The medical drama's second season could be diagnosed as bipolar; in other words, it got much worse and much better at the same time. Whiny, self-involved surgical intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), arguably the weakest spot in the otherwise likeable ensemble, had already left viewers annoyed. But season two, in which Meredith coped with being dumped by her married McDreamy (a.k.a. neurosurgeon Derek, a.k.a. Patrick Dempsey) by excessive drinking, sleeping around, gazing like a sad puppy and--unforgivable!--breaking the heart of longtime admirer/friend George (the cuddly T.R. Knight), could have alienated audiences for good. (Seriously, sometimes you want to shake the girl and feed her some cookies.) Thankfully, what Meredith's storyline threatened to derail was held together by some emotional episodes, including "Into You Like a Train," in which a pair of strangers are impaled together on a metal pole, and "Much Too Much," featuring a mother's quintuplets in critical condition. But the standout show that turned Grey's Anatomy into a television force came with the January 2006 post-Super Bowl episode, a two-parter involving a "code black" lockdown when a live bomb is housed inside a patient. Romance also remained key to the staff at Seattle Grace: Steely Cristina (Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh) softens, to her great dismay, as her relationship with Dr. Burke (Isaiah Washington) gets serious; Izzie (Katherine Heigl) pairs up, then breaks up, with Alex (Justin Chambers, the villain of the cast if you had to name one) before falling in love with flirty, tender heart patient Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Derek and estranged wife Addison (Kate Walsh, who somehow managed to win over Meredith-McDreamy fans despite being the Other Woman) make attempts at fixing their marriage, and Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson, easily a standout) tries to balance a medical career with mommyhood. Even George finds a new love with orthopedic surgeon Callie (Sara Ramirez). The season wraps up with a weeper of a two-part finale, set at the hospital during a "prom" (it's complicated). But with the fancy gowns and tuxes, tears and romantic tension, leading to a crossroads for Meredith and Derek, you can bet the episodes are a delight for any Grey's fan. The show also continues to rely heavily on narration (not a good thing) and soundtracks (a good thing), using tracks from artists before they hit it big (KT Tunstall, Brandi Carlisle, Snow Patrol). On the DVD Four of the episodes get an extended treatment, though the tag line "too steamy for television!" is overreaching a bit. Oh is the only actor to turn up on a commentary, which is otherwise just the writers and producers congratulating each other. Walsh turns up the charm in "The Doctors are In," in which characters answer fans' questions, but Chambers appears noticeably drab and disinterested. Despite "Uncut" being in the title, the special features aren't anything you'll be watching again and again. Save that rewind button for the show itself. --Ellen A. Kim

Totally addicted... December 19, 2008
I watched season 1 and liked it enough to give Season 2 a try. I can honestly say that it's offical...I'm totally addicted. I love every single character on the show, except for Meredith Grey, whom I find morose and simpering in her self absorption and puppy dog love for McDreamy.
Every episode seemed better than the last. I was either laughing or crying or simply on the edge of my seat in suspense. The characters are realistic and that's what makes this series such a good show. You feel like these are people that you might know, that you could talk to.
I've already ordered Season 3 and I can't wait for it to arrive.
Easily a 5 star!
Amazing Show December 8, 2008
Yesterday I watched the all of the episodes season 2 back to back, I couldn't stop. What more can I say.
Shows are great, but captions aren't. No voicing of questions in extra stuff for visually impaired. October 21, 2008
I thoroughly enjoy "Grey's Anatomy" as one of the best shows I've ever seen, but the captioning doesn't suit me AT ALL. The captions are very frequently different from what the actors actually say, which is highly irritating. I watched all the extra stuff I could find and couldn't find a bit of it that was captioned. To frost it, there was a pretty interesting question and answer part in the extra stuff where the questions were typed on the screen, with no voice-over for the visually impaired.
The episodes are incredibly well done, but the accessibility factors could use some help.
LOVE IT! September 24, 2008
I live for Grey's Anatomy. This season was excellent filled with much love, drama, and changes.
...just perfect! September 20, 2008
Talking about Grey's Anatomy I cant say anything but PERFECT! It makes you laugh, makes you cry, it shows how hard is the life inside a hospital.
I really indicate you to buy it. Im from Brazil and it was my first item bought by Amazon. I must say that I was afraid it couldn't arrive, but it did! And it did BEFORE the date they said it would! Its a great opportunity for you to improve your English, since it has no Portuguese subtitles :)
