Season One. If you have not watched this show, you may want to give it a try. It’s on HBO; and is not a very long season.

It starts out with Grace, a well known prominent doctor who you would think had the perfect life. She is married to Jonathan, who is an oncologist. They have a son, Henry, who is the only child.

Grace meets Elena at a fund raiser meeting. Elena shocks the entire group of women when she does the unthinkable; breast feeds her baby while sitting at the table during the meeting. The other women in the group gasp like it was a sin, but Grace acts like it’s not a big deal, even though she looked uncomfortable. Elena does not fit in with the group and the women try to act nice to her.

From there, Elena does a lot of inappropriate things in front of Grace. Grace has several encounters with Elena; and does not understand why Elena is so obsessed with her. Grace complains to Jonathan but he does not take it seriously.

It’s the night of the fundraiser party and everyone is there. Something happens that night that will change Grace’s for life forever. All the twist and turns of the show will keep you on edge until you figure out what really happened.

Season Seventeen

Episode One – Four. The first few episodes of Grey’s Anatomy takes us to the reality of the Covid 19 pandemic. I’m so glad that they decided to address this issue. It’s so real to see how the hospital admission has changed; how the staff is effected by our new normal.

Meredith is working non stop helping hospital patients. Her kids are with Amelia while she works. Meredith catches Covid and is the hospital on a respirator. She starts having dreams of Derek and George which makes you think she is on the verge of dying. She needs to pick a new person that would make decisions for her when she can’t. Alex is that person but is out of the country, so she chooses Dr. Weber. She gets really bad and looses consciousness. Her friends are fighting to get her in a new trial but at first, Dr. Weber refuses but laters gives in when he sees her not waking up.

Other members of the cast continue to face the realities of Covid 19 and patients dying. They are dealing with having to tell the families that their loved ones have died. They are also afraid of catching the virus themselves. The show is looking into the seriousness of wearing a mask, social distancing and the care the patients have to get once they encounter the virus.

Great season so far and will be worth watching.

Season Four

This is one of Netflix’s original shows. This is where we meet Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher in the first few episode. Very interesting women.

Meeting Diana was not what I had expected. Prince Charles is not the nicest person and didn’t even want to marry her. In all the movies we have seen, it made it look like they were so in love. Well, this show reveals he only marries her because of his father and mother. His family thought she would be the best pick for him over Camilla. It was a rushed proposal and took Diana by surprise. She knows nothing about him and he knows nothing about her. Diana’s secret is also revealed. The family thinks they will grow to love and care for each other over time. Charles is only thinking of Camilla.

Margaret Thatcher is not what I imagined either. She is a very strict to the book person. She is only interested in work and getting everything right. The best part about her so far was when she fired her entire cabinet. She hired new fresh faces from the old angry men she had when she first got the job. She brought them in her office one by one and fired them. She has a soft spot for her son Mark over her daughter, Carol. Mark went missing in the Sahara Desert for six days and she was devastated as most mothers would be. The two are twins but she says out loud the Mark is her favorite. She sees her daughter as weak and wants her to toughen up.

So far, those are the two characters that are interesting. I’m sure more Princes and Princesses will be introduced in this season. Try the show; start from Season One.
