Scandal (ABC)

[O]

This has turned into a pretty good show.

For a prime time network show, it doesn't get much better then this!

It took the better part of two days for my wife and I to watch the first 24 episodes of this series. Pretty entertaining. It's a little contrived (especially early in the show) but it gets addictive. I could do without the typical Shonda Rhimes nobody-can-restrain-their-sexual-urges routine but it's a lot of fun nonetheless.

this show has become one of my favorites twists that unlike every other network drama I didn't see coming.

I didn't know this show is loosely based on a real person.

I just started watching this on Netflix (at the urging of a friend). It's getting addictive!

The Oliva character is indeed based on a real person, but I doubt she had a romance with the President, lol.

This show has turned it up a notch and is rocking!

Watched the first two seasons on Netflix. This is the part that I don't like about the show - I ended up fast forwarding the Olivia/Fitz scenes - just stupidly done.

I have never watched this show until last night. My wife was watching it while I watched football on my phone.

God it is stupid and awful and terrible and pointless!!!!


Scene 1: "My professor raped me." Oh really? That will be hard to prove. See, he is well-regarded and you went home and took a shower after. And it was like two years ago. Sure, I'll take the case!

Scene 2: Although.... If he did it once, maybe it's a pattern over several decades. Of course, let's make that leap because it is the Bill Cosby episode. Okay. Yeah, but finding other victims will be almost impossible...

Scene 3: Or not. Interviews with several victims, all uneasy to come forward, but super-willing to spill every seedy detail to a total stranger on the street.

Scene 4: Yay, they found like 20+ victims to all show up at a public event and tell their stories all at once! That only took about three days! After decades of silent suffering, they are all ready to share their most traumatic event in the most public of forums. Yay for Olivia Pope (because they have to say both her names in every. single. scene!) Isn't she such a bad ass?

Barf. Even for Shonda, that is some crap storytelling.
