Grey's Anatomy Gender

I decided to explore the topic of the infamous show Grey’s Anatomy which was created and directed by Shonda Rhimes. This television series has been up and running since 2005 and since then has reached 13 seasons and continuing to grow every season as we speak. Grey’s Anatomy was the best fit for a media analysis paper because within this show there is so much that goes on that topics could never not be debatable.
