My favourite series

Grey's Anatomy is an American medical drama that follows the lives of interns, residents and their mentors as they struggle to complete their medical training and maintain personal lives. The reason why I love Grey's is that it is filled with emotions, like during an intense episode where a husband has to decide to either let his brain dead wife die or live, he holds her in his arms and cries non-stop. This gets me sad and even to the point where I want to cry, although I know it is all acting.

At the beginning of a Grey's episode a small reading is read, and towards the end that reading is completed, this is linked to the title of the episode and the reading makes you wonder about things like love, friends, hell, family, dreams, heaven and even fairytales. In every episode each character gets to do the reading, the main character, Meredith Grey, is my favourite. A third reason why I like Grey's is the music they play, for the sad parts like someone dying they play really sad touching songs.

My favourite quote so far from Grey's Anatomy, in Season 5 episode 13 (Stairway to heaven), voiced by the character Danny Duquette goes like this:

“I believe in heaven,
I also believe in hell,
I have seen neither but I believe they exist
They have to exist
Because without a heaven, without a hell
We are all just heading for limbo
Heaven . . . Hell . . . Limbo
No one really knows where we’re going
Or what is waiting for us when we get there
But the one thing we can say for sure with absolute certainty is
That there are moments that take us to another place
Moments of heaven on earth
And maybe for now, that’s all we need to know”.
