Welp, I've added about 150 tropes to this page, so it's time I write a review, right?
And considering I've added 150 tropes, you might have an idea of what I think about this show: I love Scandal.
If you're a Grey's fan, give it a try, although the political thriller bears little resemblance to the medical drama, outside of its initial ‘case of the week’ format, it definitely has the drama, romance and thrill that Grey’s delivers if not more. Acting is on-point, this cast won’t disappoint. The characters are funny, smart, and very gray on the morality scale, which makes some good drama. Olivia is the bold, beautiful, brilliant, black female lead TV needs more of. For me, it’s more of the characters than the plot that keeps me watching.
But that’s not to say the plot isn’t absolutely enticing; the first episode alone reveals Olivia had an affair with the President! And that’s not the only thing that wraps you into the plot: another girl is too. That drama also warps into its own mystery when something pretty big happens. Scandal is in essence a mystery that will keep you coming for more and it’s a fresh, intricate mystery. The suspense is killer—every episode ends with a cliffhanger of some sort, so you can imagine how jaw-dropping those season finales are.
So yeah, give it a try! I certainly loved it. It’s a Shonda show too, so that—a part from Private Practice if I’m being honest—should be enough reason to.
