Derek Shepherd isn't all that dreamy
Some viewers hold the opinion that dearly departed Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Demspey) isn't as charming as he's made out to be. It's a pretty surprising opinion, considering that Derek is portrayed as the ultimate good guy. On the surface, he perfectly represents that trope. However, fans on Reddit have voiced how they really feel about Derek Shepherd and they make some valid points.
Although Meredith and Derek's remain one of the show's more notable pairings, there are those who think that the couple is overrated. "Honestly after my 5th rewatch, the epic romance of Meredith and Derek started to falter and I just started seeing him as an entitled a****** who was condescending and saw Meredith as an addition to his "greatness," writes Reddit u/Funmiby (https://www.reddit.com/r/greysanatomy/comments/v2bgfb/derek_is_the_absolute_worst_i_cannot_understand/).
Even the most stalwart MerDer shippers have to give some credit to this. In Season 5, Meredith has to convince Derek to credit her properly when he dubs a surgical technique, which they developed together, as the Shepherd Method. When Meredith asks for a little acknowledgement, Derek callously dismisses her as immature. This entitlement is cited as another reason viewers dislike the character. "He's so cocky and despite being a very good doctor and surgeon, he makes so many decisions based on ego. For a grown man, it's so embarrassing," said Reddit u/sneezingbees (https://www.reddit.com/r/greysanatomy/comments/v2bgfb/derek_is_the_absolute_worst_i_cannot_understand/).
Whatever your thoughts on the late neurosurgeon, the nuances in his personality make him one of the most memorable characters to ever appear on "Grey's Anatomy."
