Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I was so against watching this show when it came out , then I finally caved when it was airing the 5th season on television. I thought wow an ABC show going on longer than 2-3 seasons must be worth watching. So I binge watched the first 4 seasons, I absolutely loved the first couple of seasons and then around season 3 and on it got worse and worse. I was really disappointed with the plot lines and the far fetched "scandals." Just watch seasons 1-3 instead of wasting time on the last few seasons.

Liked the finale except for David Rosen poisoning made me LOL. Poisoning was tried once before with failed attempt to kill Cyrus. To revisit this rehash again is hilarious and took me right out of the episode. C'mon, writers -- couldn't find a more imaginative way to kill off Rosen? Seriously? As for Stevie Wonder's new song in the season finale -- it sucks! No disrespect but he ain't no Will.I.Am and doesn't have to be. Why didn't he stick to his genre instead of rapping? I love his music but this ridiculous rap song for season finale really made the finale SUCK for me as I had high expectations of a song that nailed it (no disrespect to the actors). Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul (a woman) should have had the honour of doing the season finale song! R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!! End of story!!! Thank you to all the stellar actors of Scandal! I will truly miss this series. Cheers!!!

Oh my god, what has happened to this show? Simply awful, watching Olivia and her mother's over acting is making me cringe. Yikes, thank god this is the last season.

I don't need to add anymore about the horrible writing , summed up by another reviewer who called the dialog "50 Chihuahuas going after one hot dog". This program is nothing more than a 30 minute 70's soap opera saturated with product placement. The premise that Olivia Pope is a power player is absurd. She is a compromised incompetent cluster*@ck that could not solve anything in real life.This may be the laziest writing and research for technical background I have ever seen on a major TV show. Their lack of knowledge and terminology how thing work in real life is either lazy or incompetent. From " two F-15's are waiting on the Carrier ready to take off" (try Wikipedia) to numerous medical, security and government protocols that could never occur in real life, only shows that this program only wants to be about comical love stories made for 16 year olds.Unbelievable on too many fronts for anyone to not just laugh.
