Amazon.co.uk Review
Season 5 is a pivotal one for the riveting Grey's Anatomy. The doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital bloom and show new layers, the drama meets and exceeds that of previous seasons, and the show marks an important milestone--its 100th episode--with developments that, as with all the great Grey's episodes, brim with belly laughs and moving tears.
The season gets off to a slow start, with perhaps a bit more relationship angst than even diehard fans would prefer. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek "McDreamy" (Patrick Dempsey) start out with the familiar push-pull of their love affair--but a resolution, at last, is in their future. Callie (the excellent, and newly glamorous, Sara Ramirez) wrestles with her sexual orientation. Cristina (Sandra Oh, never better) is still picking up the pieces from her ruined engagement to the departed Burke (Isaiah Washington). To help her, or maybe to throw her for another loop, the series introduces the gruff, macho military doc, Owen (one of TV's sexiest hunks, Kevin McKidd).
Yet series creator and still active writer Shonda Rhimes unveils story arcs about midway through the season which have the surgeons' operating room dramas intersecting with the characters' private lives--with waves of heartbreaking results. Fans may take issue with "Dead Denny" (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his endless visitations--complete with sex--with Izzie (Katherine Heigl)--but as the season builds, Izzie's mystery illness, and her deep love for Alex (Justin Chambers) are treated with delicacy and respect, and Denny's character both reacts and ultimately supports. There's a wedding--a fairy-tale one--celebrating the show's 100th episode, and the love of the characters, and the pain they've overcome to get there--are equal parts of the very human, very lovely, result. The season finale is among the show's best ever, with the fate of two beloved characters, George (T.R. Knight) and Izzie, left unknown and laden with sorrow. --A.T. Hurley

Wow.
Having bought Season 5 (as with all the other box sets as they are released much earlier in the US and I couldn't wait!!) from amazon.com, I can honestly say this is the best season of Grey's yet.
A slow start, but once you begin to devour each episode it gathers such momentum until you reach the incredible, intense, thrilling and emeotional end, and it all loops back to the beginning of episode 1. I then had to watch it again and it was just as good 2nd time round!
Stunning performances from all the cast, great plot lines, medical dilemmas, hair issues, comic one liners, romance, tragedy, and sweeping scenery of Seattle shots - its all here.
I don't want to spoil any story for anyone, so no plot details or hints from me. But what I will say is if you (like me) can't resist an open box set, prepare to lose an entire weekend in your pyjamas. So so worth it - but now I'm desperate for season 6!!! You have been warned!!
**For those wanting to order from the US as I did - do check out the region coding on your DVD player. Mine is multi region, so I can play Region 1 (US) discs along with Region 2 (UK etc) discs. Check out the information pages on Amazon if you are in any doubt at all, and google too, as there may be a 'fix' for your player to enable multi-region discs.**

Ok ok, I know most of you will be put off by the whole Denny and Izzie thing, but believe me, there is a reason behind it and one that will shock you to the core (unless of course you have read one of the idiots who puts spoliers in everything!)
The final episode of this season is still haunting me and I cannot wait for the next series to start, although i almost don't want what I think is going to happen to indeed happen.
If you love Grey's Anatomy, you will love this series, and it's new charaters just as much, if not more, than ever before!

Got this for my birthday on Wednesday, I've watched it all since then, i LOVE Grey's Anatomy.
This was so great for me because i've not seen any of it on tv like i have previous seasons. Yes it's darker than previous series, but there's also a lot of good stuff too. Derek and Meredith become closer than ever before and she seems less dark and withdrawn than before. Christina still has many Christina moments which i love, and Bailey is on top form as ever, especially when she meets Da Vinci! I love that bit.
I wasn't sure about the new doctor Owen at first, but he has grown on me to become part of the team. I wasn't sure he was good for Christina but i think i could prefer him to Burke in the end.
The thing that really got on my nerves was Denny Duquette. Izzy saw him a lot, and i was thinking who does that, i've never known anyone who saw people that had died, the way she sees Denny, but Grey's in it's infinate wisdom explained things beautifully, and so there was a heartbreaking reason why Denny was there for Izzy. And Izzy is one of my favourite characters, i just wanted to hug her.
Cali is a character that i have really disliked in previous seasons, but i think i liked her a little bit more this time. Only a little bit though! Although i am a bit sick of everyone sleeping with everyone. In the end there will be nobody left. I am reffering to Cali and her women and Mark and Little Grey, aka Lexi. One minute she loves George, the next Mark. One minute Cali likes men, now it's women, or both.
The finale was mind blowingly brilliant! I couldn't believe it when Meredith was talking to the guy who had been run over by the bus and the stuff that happened next. I think Ellen Pompeo who plays Meredith was so amazing in that scene. I really can't wait for season 6, i need it NOW. Seriously.

Briiliant as ever
If you are a fan of Greys Anatomy, this series is as good as all the others, if not better, and without giving too much away, it ends on a real tear jerking cliff hanger. Read more
