Amazon.co.uk Review It's easy to see why Kate Walsh's character, neonatal surgeon Addison Montgomery, was spun off from the hugely popular Grey's Anatomy to her own series, Private Practice. It's not just her looks--beautiful but accessible, silent movie eyes, and a forthright jaw--or her obvious intelligence. Her acting has flashes of an uncommon freshness, a sense of unbridled spontaneity. This quality isn't always there, though her performances are never less than capable. But when you catch that moment, that sly twinkle or a flicker of sadness, Walsh is remarkably charismatic. Standing out like that is no small feat when surrounded by such sterling TV and film veterans as Tim Daly, Amy Brenneman, Taye Diggs, Paul Adelstein, and Audra McDonald. Montgomery works at Oceanside Wellness Centre, a cooperative medical clinic in Los Angeles, where private lives and medical cases collide on a regular basis. In the second season of Private Practice, financial ruin looms over the team as they grapple with such hot-button cultural issues as abortion, teen pregnancy, vaccination, and the right to die, as well as more esoteric issues like accidental incest and a hermaphroditic baby. The doctors engage in vigorous ethical debate and even more vigorous sex as they bounce off each other romantically and professionally. After an uneven first season, the show's skilled writers, producers, and directors have found a tone that smoothly balances moral debate, personal drama, and light comedy. Maybe it's a little too smooth; sometimes the characters' quirks seem overly packaged, their private needs too easily gotten around when the plot demands it. But the show's writers have a gift for swift acceleration. Each episode leaps forward, scenes building on each other until every issue--and every personal complication--has been squeezed for maximum effect. Though moments may push credulity--the season cliffhanger is a jaw-dropper--Walsh and the rest of the charming cast will keep you engaged. --Bret Fetzer

Good Entertainment July 29, 2010 Paul Green (UK) Saw Season 1 on TV and enjoyed the format, then read that Season 3 was to be shown, so needed to catch up. The dvd was excellent viewing and value for money
Great Buy July 16, 2010 Stingray Another funny and tear jerking box set from the makers of Greys Anatomy. I laughed out loud at this as well as using a fair few tissues. Only criticism is thatI have to wait for the next season!
There is nothing on TV so buy it!
WAOH!!! July 10, 2010 C. Peterkin What a great number two for this series... Must see the next part soon... Baby sister from Grey's Anatomy, but even better...
Love it! April 6, 2010 Birgitte Maarup (Denmark) I love Private Practice! It's fun, it's sunny and it's intriguing.
I really like this season, but oh I thought I was gonna die when I saw the last ep! The cliffhanger is seriously devastating and I just wanted to watch more!
Be aware of the teaser/trailer-ish thing before ep. 1 which you easily can enter without knowing it when pressing play. I was wondering through a couple of episodes if it was a recap of what had happened since we saw season 1 as I'd seen in the bonus material from season 1 that it wouldn't begin right where we left off, so I was really confused. Big bommer that you know how a lot of the episodes will end out. So skip it! Apart from that it's just great, and I can't wait for season 3!!
DO NOT WATCH THE CATCH UP!!!!!! March 23, 2010 Bob's Mum (UK) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Which bonkers DVD making person made the very first episode, the supposed 'catch up', actually a catch-up of season 1 and a complete summary of season 2? I very nearly made the world record for leaping up and stopping a dvd when I realised!!! Sadly had some of my enjoyment of season 2 was lost as I already 'knew' what was coming next. Be warned! DO NOT WATCH THE 'CATCH UP'.
That said, I still enjoyed PP season 2, with its brilliant dovetail back into Greys Anatomy (shan't spoil anything!!) and following the beautiful LA doctors lives, loves and lattes!
Private Practice has a long way to go before reaching the incredible highs of its Big Brother Greys in my opinion, but it is nonetheless funny, clever, heartwarming and shocking - and just as watchable.
Enjoy - just avoid the stupid 'catch-up'.
