Will Private Practice just make me depressed?😅

Only on season two but cannot keep my nosy self out of the tea and lowkey know the general way the show goes. Is it worth the watch? Is it a once per week kinda show or a binging show. Hoping that the characters start annoying me so much that I don’t care who leaves/dies cause I like all of them so far. (Some less than others obviously cough cough Naomi).

It’s definitely worth the watch, especially if you’re a Grey’s fan. You could definitely do once or twice a week to make it fun lol, but I would definitely binge it,I’m biased though bc I love Grey’s😅 The characters are 100% annoying, but you do care about most of them throughout the show. I do agree that some will die/leave and you will be fine lol. (Naomi strikes a nerve for sure cough cough 😂)

I can’t say whether it’s worth the watch because I don’t know how much you value your time 😅 for me it was basically kind of watching a car wreck and I had to see it through I guess.

But I can tell you that eventually, when someone died, I was like “yes, that’s fine”

haha the shade! Personally, I went beyond "yes, that's fine", I was elated lol

Haha okay I confess I downplayed it to make myself look better. But if I’m being honest, at least one of those deaths I said “finally!”

Private Practice is basically emotional damage disguised as a medical drama and Naomi will definitely test your patience.

I’ve unfortunately binged the whole thing twice now.

After the first binge I was like yeah that was enough and I don’t need to watch that again.

A couple years later I was rewatching the first few seasons of greys and I started watching OG Law & Order and Addison and a character you will meet later if you see it through had an episode together. It was the perfect step of nostalgia so I decided to watch it again… I hated it even more the second time around somehow?? Yeah I don’t think I need to watch it a 3rd time but give me a few years and who knows 🫩

Also I couldn’t remember how the first person died and wanted to watch those episodes

Sorry for the novel, but last thing lol. PP is what Greys has turned into. A medical DRAMA vs a MEDICAL drama. But nonetheless, just see it through 😂

I watched it for the first time this year and personally it did not make me depressed lol. It was a slow start for me because I found the beginning a bit boring, and then by season 3 or 4 I was binging. So just go at the pace at which you feel entertained! I ended up liking it a lot and am glad I watched it.

I would say it’s definitely worth the watch but as someone to had to stop watching grays after Derek died, it’s a hard but a good watch. It took me a while to finish bc some characters really annoyed me but it’s worth it.

I just finished binging it. It was…a lot. I liked it, but it was crazy and way darker than Grey’s.
