About Grey's Anatomy
The doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital deal with life-or-death consequences on a daily basis -- it's in one another that they find comfort, friendship and, at times, more than friendship. Together they're discovering that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white. Real life only comes in shades of grey.
How to get through Grey's Anatomy faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 9 hours, 44 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 373 hours; at 1.5× it's 311 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
