Scandal season 5 review

Thursday night’s new episode of “Scandal” was almost a classic episode of the series in so many ways. How else would you describe an hour of TV that featured at one point Cyrus and Mellie trying to find a way to question someone perceived by the country as a hero? The main story for tonight’s episode […]

Even though Fitzgerald Grant may still be President of the United States on “Scandal,” there is one thing that we’re really starting to get a sense of: Nobody really seems to care. Much like true American politics, everyone is already starting to move on to the next election, and we feel like the writers are […]

For everyone out there who thought that Jake Ballard was starting to flounder on “Scandal” or have very little to do, we’d like to present you with Thursday night’s new episode of proof that this is a guy who still has some serious skills. What we ended up seeing Scott Foley’s character do in this […]

Thursday’s episode of “Scandal” may be one of the strongest of the season, at least in terms of performances. Tony Goldwyn, Kerry Washington, and Bellamy Young all killed it in “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” an episode that showed that while you may have everything that you think you want, you really don’t at all. In […]

As we started to get to the end of “Scandal” season 5 Thursday night, one thing is being made abundantly clear: Life was (once again) never going to be the same for Olivia Pope. First and foremost, let’s spend a minute or two discussing the whirlwind journey that we had for this character over the […]

How do you solve a problem like Elizabeth North? We imagine that this is a question that Cyrus was asking early and often on Thursday night’s “Scandal.” After supplanting her as the Chief of Staff for President Grant, she was ready and raring to go with her latest act of revenge: Going to Sally Langston […]

The story on “Scandal” this season can be described with one simple phrase: Out of this world. We had no idea that the show was going to be heading down the road of a potential Fitz – Olivia wedding story at the start of the season, but yet, here we are. While at first Olivia […]

The fifth season of “Scandal” started off in a relatively uncertain place, but it certainly feels clear that matters have changed ever since then. This is a story that has become about Olivia Pope coming clean and battling her demons, while at the same time Fitz is being challenged over the impeachment hearing. Through most […]

The moment that Olivia Pope admitted to being a mistress of President Fitzgerald Grant on “Scandal,” you knew that there was going to be some consequences … including when it comes to Fitz’s status in the White House. Impeachment talk started early in this episode, and it continued to spiral as more and more politicians […]

Thursday night’s new episode of “Scandal” may have very well been titled “Hitting the Reset” … or at least this is how we thought the story was going at one point. It looked like Cyrus was about to get her job back with the President, and that Mellie’s demands in order to keep things civil […]
