There are currently 21 seasons available on D+, and S22 is starting soon. With there being over 20 episodes per season, that is a lot of episodes. It is a good show & there must be a reason why it's still going strong. It doesn't get stale as the cast keeps changing whenever new interns arrive. So it really comes down to how much time you have.

I have far too much time on my hands as I did manage to binge watch  Grey's anatomy from the start earlier this year - actually I started in later seasons as I was watching Station 19 & noticed the cross over of characters, before then going back to the start

It did take a lot of time !

Like I guess other long running shows, having stated in later episodes it was interesting to jum p back and see how the characters stories evolved. 

I found  a lot of the writing (in particular) and acting superb, some of the shows genuinely had me it tears - I though the treatment of the Pandemic years being particularly poignant (For those who know the show this included the key De Luca storyline - I found it was very interesting to see how Station 19 & Grey's Anatomy cross over here, really added to fill this storyline in)  

It is not afraid to cover some controversial subjects.

At other times I found  there is a wonderful  light hearted humour & getting  to know the characters from the start causes you to appreciate this, which you might miss without the back stories

(One episode in the earlier years that particulary sticks in my memory of the humour was one where a visiting Cosultant only wanted to  work with the Doctor they called 'the  N_a_z_i' (underlines  added due to naughty word filter - I am sure the CMs won't mind it's use here)  not knowing who that was with a closing scene revealing to him who that was) 

Personally, I have not enjoyed the last couple of seasons as much
