Find your next binge obsession!
Although the iconic Grey's Anatomy has been on the air for more than two decades and continues to outshine most new network primetime shows in ratings, it's evident that its golden days are behind it. Consequently, viewers are on the hunt for another medical show to binge-watch.
Longtime fans of the genre don't hesitate to recommend these seven shows to fill the void left by Shonda Rhimes' series:
House MD
The Hugh Laurie-led series is widely regarded as one of the finest medical dramas available, and rightly so. The characters are complex, the medical cases intriguing, and the incredible development of the main cast of doctors will likely compel you to watch the entire series in just a few weeks.
Chicago Med
A part of the One Chicago franchise, this series is considerably less intricate than Grey's Anatomy. However, if you're yearning for a show that blends engaging medical cases with doctors' personal lives, you're in for a treat.
New Amsterdam
This recently canceled show is slightly more somber than Grey's Anatomy. However, the exceptional ensemble of character actors makes following the intricate storylines a total pleasure, especially considering Ryan Eggold's excellent performance as the lead character, Dr. Max.
The Resident
Starring Matt Czuchry, the show follows a young doctor who rapidly ascends to the pinnacle of the medical profession. The focus is more on hospital corruption than medical cases. The Resident feels like a thriller, setting it apart from other shows in the genre.
Code Black
The most realistic medical show ever broadcast on television may be a hard pill to swallow for some, as the romantic aspirations of doctors are often overlooked in favor of a truthful depiction of what being a doctor truly entails.
ER
The iconic show that launched George Clooney's Hollywood career may seem a bit dated, but the storylines themselves feel as fresh as they did nearly three decades ago, making ER a must-watch for all fans of medical dramas.
Scrubs
Scrubs is primarily a comedy series, but it pulls no punches when it comes to tragedy and loss, so it can easily fill the void left by Grey's Anatomy, especially if you're in the mood for something a bit more lighthearted.
