  1. I love Station 19. How do other people feel about it? I’m also super into the crossover vibes with Greys. It feels like getting double greys!

    • I like it And I enjoy the Greys double headers too
      But firefighters wise I still prefer 911

    • i like it and am happy for another season. but can’t say that i’m super into the storyline the back half of this season. also concur that the mingling with Grey’s makes them both more interesting.

      i am super into more of Dr. Carina!

  2. I just read that Bitch piece on lesbian cops on TV. I really wish Autostraddle’s TV team would take this on. Why are we lifting up cop shows when policing is so harmful to our communities? I’d love to see Autostraddle push back on this trend.
