Grey's Anatomy: the rebirth of the medical drama
The medical drama is one of the classical genres of television and was more or less present on the screens in each decade. E 'but no doubt that the serial Grey's Anatomy in recent years has given a considerable boost to the genre.
Grey's Anatomy is produced by ABC since 2005 and is created by Shonda Rhimes that has practically made his debut on the small screen with this show. Giunto alla sua settima stagione, il serial era partito come mid season ma visto il successo è stato subito promosso ed è oggi uno dei prodotti di punta del network.
La storia è quella dei tirocinanti e medici del Seattle Grace Hospital, e si focalizza inizialmente sul personaggio di Meredith Grey, figlia di una nota chirurga che segue le orme della madre pur non avendo avuto con lei un rapporto idillico. La storia si connota da subito come corale, ampliando il cast ad almeno una decina di protagonisti a stagione. Gli sviluppi delle storie si delineano come "soapizzate", con uno sviluppo orizzontale preminente rispetto alle trame verticali ed una precisa deriva verso il melodrammatico e il sentimentale.
Infatti, il fulcro delle storylines are the stories of love, marriage or missed scheduled, continuous exchange of pairs, the search for a soul mate or just a night to forget the adventure of a professional disappointment or stress of the medical profession. GA does not fall strictly into what can be called quality television because the stories are often redundant and not always the characters are developed in an interesting and realistic, but there is no doubt that the show manages to create empathy and affection, with a hard core of fans who eagerly follows the adventures of our heroes.
GA falls into the category that can be called "guilty pleasure" and has its force majeure in writing. In 2007 he also created a spin-off, Private Practice , which were written with different cross-over.
