Medical marvels
We all do it – we watch our favourite TV show and we “become” a lawyer or a detective or a superhero or a doctor alongside our favourite character. We know how to flip a house, crack a case and bake a cake. We are professionals! And we’re ready to talk smack about what those other professionals are doing. Thanks to DStv, we’re now able to “operate” with our favourite surgeons, doctors and other medical first responders with this range of hospital shows that are airing now.
GREY’S ANATOMY S17
Season 17 of tearjerker Grey’s (TR Knight, Davey in dramedy series The Flight Attendant, 2020-now, see p51), who joined as an intern with her in season 1, as well as of her dead husband (Patrick Dempsey, Dominic in thriller drama Devils, 2020-now). The COVID-19 virus has seen Meredith go back to her beach visions while her body undergoes more stress and she hallucinates. With such a central character going through COVID-19, the drama show has leaned heavily on Zoanne Clack, a doctor-turned writer and exec producer who’s been part of the Grey’s Anatomy team since episode 1. Zoanne brought many of her observations of what was happening in real hospitals across the US during the pandemic into the season, making Grey’s even more real and impactful. Even if you’ve never seen the show before, there’s plenty to capture your imagination and really, no better time to become a Grey’s fan.
