"When Shonda Rhimes left ABC for Netflix, network TV lost its most popular female voice," says Robert Rorke. Rhimes, he says, "was able to bring a sense of adult romance, mischief and menace to such staples as medical and legal dramas, and made significant inroads in multi-cultural casting — believing it no big deal to have characters from different races working, living and loving together. She was also a starmaker, making household names out of Ellen Pompeo, Katherine Heigl, Sandra Oh and reigniting the careers of Patrick Dempsey and Kerry Washington. Without her unique perspective, we will live in a TV world ruled by Dick Wolf and Greg Berlanti. Call it bro world."
