Standout Aspects

Writing

Kelley's surgical banter sharper than scalpels.

Acting

Héctor Elizondo anchors the chaos with gravitas.

Production

That theme song still slaps, admit it.

Best for:Binge: Commit to Season 1-2 before Kelley bails.·Background: Comfort rewatches, skip the later soap arcs.·Rewatch: Spot the guest stars before they were famous.
Heads up:Gore: Graphic 90s surgery scenes, not for the squeamish.
