Grey's Anatomy: Season Three DVD Review (2007)

When the drama offscreen is more interesting
(Originally published 2007)
Nothing in this weak third season rises to the level of drama that took place over the past year between the cast members offscreen, though it should have.
Given the show's title, the focus presumably is on Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), who is in an intense relationship with surgeon Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), and who, like him, must mine the personalities surrounding her--Izzie (Katherine Heigl), Alex (Justin Chambers), Cristina (Sandra Oh) and George (T.R. Knight).
But if anything has come through since Isaiah Washington was fired from the show earlier this year, it's that "Anatomy" really is about Meredith and company.
Trouble is, with Izzie in a funk for much of this season after the death of her fiance, the show follows suit, which is a shame since this hospital melodrama once had a spark that helped it reach beyond the cliche.
