Shondaland TV Ranked by Tomatometer

TV titan Shonda Rhimes’ shows have been so successful for ABC that they got their own marketing acronym and hashtag: #TGIT, for “Thank God It’s Thursday,” including a Shondaland line-up that began in 2014 with monster hit series Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder.

Back in August 2017, Netflix announced it had poached Rhimes and her producing partner Betsy Beers. The duo have since delivered new legal series For the People, which premiered March 13, and Grey’s Anatomy spin-off Station 19, which debuted March 22, for ABC.

So what’s the streaming giant in for? Rhimes said at the time, “The future of Shondaland at Netflix has limitless possibilities.”

Here’s how Shondaland series stand so far by Tomatometer score.
