Okay, let's be real. We've all been there. You're scrolling, you're bored, and suddenly, Grey's Anatomy season 17 flashes before your eyes. The burning question then arises: where can I actually watch this in the UK?
It feels like a surgical emergency trying to locate it sometimes!
The Streaming Struggle is Real
First, let's talk streaming. Is it on Netflix? Sadly, usually not the latest seasons. We hold out hope every month, but Grey's Anatomy likes to play hard to get. Like Meredith with McDreamy… or McSteamy… or DeLuca…
You get the point.
Then there's Amazon Prime Video. Sometimes they have it! But, be warned: it might require an extra subscription. Don’t accidentally buy another service; it's a slippery slope.
The Free-to-Air Frontier
What about good old-fashioned telly? Did it air on Channel 4? Maybe 5? Catching it free-to-air feels like winning the lottery, and let's be honest, we'd rather use the lottery winnings on a trip to Seattle... visiting Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, naturally.
Just try not to touch anything.
Check Disney+. This is probably your best bet, to be honest. It's where all the cool kids (and Grey's fans) are hanging out. Thank goodness for Disney+!
But please, don't pirate it. We want more seasons, and Shonda Rhimes deserves our respect (and our subscription fees).
The Unpopular Opinion Corner
Okay, prepare yourselves. Here comes the controversial bit.
I think season 17 is…overrated. Gasp! I know, I know. Hear me out! It's got some great moments, sure, but the whole "beach dream" thing went on a bit too long. Change my mind. I dare you.
It felt like a marketing ploy to have all of the old characters appearing in Merdith’s dream, especially the *McDreamy* one.
DVDs: A Relic of the Past?
Remember DVDs? Those shiny discs that used to hold our favorite shows? You could always buy the season 17 DVD boxset. It may be a bit retro, but hey, it's guaranteed to work! Plus, no buffering issues.
Plus, you get to feel nostalgic about the early 2000s.
Just be sure you still have a DVD player. Finding one might be harder than finding a parking space at Grey Sloan.
The Final Verdict
So, where can you watch Grey's Anatomy season 17 in the UK? Short answer: it's a bit of a treasure hunt. Check Disney+ first. Then, browse Amazon Prime Video. Finally, consider buying the DVDs if you're feeling old-school. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour!
Happy viewing, and try not to cry too much. (Spoiler alert: You probably will.)
And hey, maybe re-watching the earlier seasons is a better plan anyway. Just saying. Shonda Rhimes, don't hate me!
