But no matter how careful you are, when you do damage control for a living, you're bound to cause some damage to your own life. Each week, as Olivia and her team race against the clock to defuse intriguing new problems before they become full-blown disasters, they also have to deal with their own personal issues. They may call themselves ‘gladiators in suits’, but little by little, Olivia and her crew begin to reveal the chinks in their armour.

Scandal Review

“With a title like Scandal, surely you didn't expect subtlety to be on the menu of Shonda Rhimes' latest ABC potboiler. But as a companion piece to her enduring and still entertaining breakthrough Grey's Anatomy, it's just what the doctor ordered. If your doctor happens to be an indulgent "Dr. Feelgood” specializing in shameless guilty pleasures.

… the longer I watched the seven-episode tryout run, the more I realized what I was actually seeing (and eventually devouring): dirty, juicy fun, a rebirth of the old-fashioned miniseries — the Sidney Sheldon beach-read variety — a breathlessly overheated melodrama with gorgeous actors and gaudy plotting. Keep with it, and it soon becomes a preposterously propulsive exercise in popcorn TV. With crazy-sauce butter on top.

Quietly revolutionary in its matter-of-fact casting of an African-American female lead as a confrontational power broker who stands up to CEOs and dictators, Scandal turns up the heat as Olivia's employees (including Lost's Henry Ian Cusick in the underwritten role of a philandering lawyer) bend the law with their scorched-earth tactics. The case-of-the-week format soon becomes subsumed within a larger, loonier arc, as the firm is embroiled in a web of salacious events — think Monica Lewinsky, only worse — that lead all the way to the White House, where Olivia once worked very closely with the dashing president (Tony Goldwyn), whose administration is full of surprises.

In Scandal, very important people are caught with their pants down, sometimes literally, as the twists turn increasingly deadly and outrageous. This may not be Peabody material, but if you like a show that's not afraid to go bananas, this might just be your type of low-hanging fruit." TV Guide.com
