@katyazharova: Agree. One of the best TV shows I've ever seen. Already on season 4, but the position does not give up and it feels like it's getting even better, which is rare. In a word, it's brilliant.
I was fascinated by the series. I knew I had to start watching. Moreover, Shonda won't write bullshit. A sign that you watch a lot of TV shows is that in each new series you see at least one familiar actor. For example, here is the one who plays in Kane's "Hundred". And the actor who plays Huck also starred in the Britney Spears video) And when it comes to lawyers, you immediately want a crossover with "How to get away with murder."
"here is the one who plays in Kane's "Hundred" I didn't think that Desmond from Lost would be presented as some kind of devil from a series for teenage girls.)
@anivchenko: And there's also an actor from the TV series "Shoals" and another actress I know, but I don't remember where she starred. Yes, you can find familiar actors. And there is already a crossover, yes.
@Tasya_one: She appeared sporadically both in Grey's Anatomy and in Private Practice. Shonda clearly loves her. And I think it's important that she (the actress) is the wife of Paul Adelstein (one of the main actors in Private Practice). And I also love her in Gilmore Girls, Paris is cool :)
@Tasya_one: yes, she appeared there sporadically (in Anatomy in season 5, during the story with Izzy, and in the emergency I don't remember who, I just remember that she was in one episode))
"Scandal" is a series that is definitely worth watching. I watched with great pleasure, it was simply impossible to tear myself away. The characters are great, there are many unexpected twists and intrigues that fuel interest throughout the seasons.
I watched the first episode and perhaps I will express my humble opinion. As for me, everything here is too banal and obvious. The main character immediately decides who is guilty and who is not, based only on her supposedly "impeccable intuition", and then leads this point of view, trying to find evidence. It is worth admitting that she is very charismatic and attractive.And, of course, it's not worth making an unambiguous conclusion about the entire series based on just one episode, so I'll watch at least a few more and maybe change my mind. In general, as for me, the series is good, but no more. On 3 out of 5. P.S. It is curious that all the positive reviews are left exclusively by the weaker sex, they probably want to be as independent, smart and sexy as Olivia)
I am just more interested in the situation when the client turns out to be not a particularly good person, and I have no doubt that this will happen. Even here, when everyone was sure that the military was guilty, they began to look for ways to put him in the most positive light, and not just handed him over to the police.
The first few minutes are so full of pathos. AnnaLizK doesn't generate that much. What's more, Keating has it immediately clear that for a reason, it's just pure pathos. I wanted to turn it off, and then the templates got in general.. but that's what you were advised to do!) And then they told me that the first season "needs to be lived through".. eh
1.2 season is even more or less . But the third season is complete heresy. A pathetic president, with a pathetic Olivia . The only normal one is the president's wife, and she would have said everything bluntly and there would have been fewer problems. Everything else that happens is complete nonsense , it's not as interesting as the first season . I don't understand how this has stretched over 7 seasons and is coming out yet
From the very beginning, it is clear that this guy is gay. I've already seen it somewhere, it's true, I'm experiencing deja vu , but the characters are interesting, the characters are worked out, they are remembered quickly. At the moment, my favorite TV series is "How to Get Away with Murder" and I was recommended to watch "Scandal". Expectations are too high , I will watch, but the pilot series is 50/50. It's all too fast. It's like Doctor Who arrives for the redhead and an unexpected journey begins.
So far, I've only watched the first episode and it's hard to make an impression. But I don't like these moments of shooting, when someone is introduced, a photo is shown and the frames flash quickly. Is this how the whole series is going to be? :(
It's a good series, a kind of "house of cards" for girls. Scandals, intrigues, betrayals and a little romance. I don't really like melodramas, but I like "underhand games"!
I started watching because of the crossover with "How to get away with murder", where Olivia's character intrigued with her "omnipotence". While I'm watching the second season, the norm is coming in.
I went to write this comment in the middle of the series without reading the other comments. Just to test my intuition. Sally repeats very often that his girlfriend was his best friend every time he talks about her. Maybe she was just his friend?
The series is not bad, but for those who recently watched "And fires are smouldering everywhere" it's hard to look at gg, because Kerry Washington played a disgusting character there, and now I look at Olivia and see the same vile antics, brrr....
My God, how disgusting are TV series of this kind, where they really catch up with pathos in the FIRST minute! We don't know who Olivia Pope is, we haven't seen her in action, we don't fucking know you "gladiator in a suit", so can we have fucking simpler dialogues at the beginning? Can we reveal at least a little of the characters before catching up with the omnipotence and pizdatost? Is it possible without these idiotic inserts with Olivia during the interrogation of the lieutenant colonel? Horror. I had enough for 12 minutes, then I just threw up and turned off this shit. The enthusiastic exclamations here are simply shocking.
The first episode is frankly weak. They repeat too often about "intuition", but they don't show Olivia's skills, so it's hard to believe in her genius. The story of the military in general was resolved very simply and quickly and was somewhere in the background. But the concept of the series is interesting, so we'll watch it.
I'm not very impressed with the series yet either, but I decided to watch a few more episodes, but for me, there are too many cliches and there is not enough zest and depth in the series, I have seen several similar series. And according to the plot of the first episode, for the life of me, I don't understand if you're sleeping with the president, knowing that he's married and that he's a big shot, why the fuck are you talking about it?
There were no big expectations, as I decided to watch it as something relaxing, where you don't need to think about something much and be nervous. Everything is simple and easy here, the main character solves all problems, and her clients are always right and get out of the situation. But the huge disadvantage is that it was not clear at all who Olivia was, she was Cool, her team was Cool, but why they were cool was unclear. At least a couple of episodes showed them at work.
Also damn, I don't like it when Olivia is shown the whole face and these inserts of her words, "I always believe intuition", "I always warn" and so on, it's creepy. And I don't mind anything, of course, but I can't stop looking at her lips, I don't know if they're always in the center.
It's also funny that she's like, "it's over between us, I don't work for you," but she comes to the rescue.
Although not on business, I can't help but say how I'm almost always attracted to Tony Goldwyn's aura. And his look when he went to kiss her in the oval office, oh, it was hot
The first comments are confusing) It was enough for 3 episodes, I don't want to waste any more time. It's very fake, there's not much intrigue, somehow...Everything is sweet. And, of course, the main topic is definitely about gays and what a hooray! Gays and patriots are compatible, don't judge them.... It doesn't look particularly interesting right now. That's where the opposite opinion really appears 5 times in a series about the same hero, so this is "How to avoid punishment for murder", that's where the tension is.
I didn't think that Desmond from Lost would be presented as some kind of devil from a series for teenage girls.)
Not impressed
With each episode and each season, the series gets deeper. The only series that can be reviewed endlessly.

and definitely weaker than CILANTRO
