I’m no longer going to watch Grey’s Anatomy
Published October 16, 2008 by Robbie
One of the few shows I watch on TV is Grey’s Anatomy. The scripts are usually entertaining and the cast does a good job. However, over the past couple of years they have steadily been getting more graphic with the episodes. It has gotten so bad that tonight they showed a guy’s scalp getting cut back and pulled over his face. It was completely disgusting. It is not uncommon for episodes to show blood squirting everywhere, things sticking out of limbs, or other very visually graphic scenes.
My question: Is this really necessary? Are people really tuning in to watch that? Can’t people just watch Discovery Health or something to get gore? I can understand some basic things. I can handle open heart surgeries, deep gashes, and the occasional impalement, but not scalps being pulled back.
The people are the show. The hospital is just the backdrop. Adding all the gore just takes away from one of the few shows on TV worth watching.
