Even at its least compelling, we could rely on Scandal for one thing: the chronic back-and-forth between Olivia Pope and President Fitzgerald Grant—one of the greatest, most infuriating televised relationships of our lifetime. Though she was quite often the most flawless woman in the room, Liv was also heavily flawed…
Earlier today, I was alerted to the occasion of a dragging at the hands of Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) in Thursday night’s episode of Scandal. Promptly, I perked up and watched the episode, but even if you haven’t, this scene requires little context. All you must know is that for …

On Thursday, Scandal will air its 100th episode. To commemorate this television feat, the cast and show creators sat down for an oral history of the show that had us all drinking red wine out of enormous glasses, eating popcorn for dinner and lusting after $10,00 white trench coats for the past five years.
Scandal has always felt like a (more) outrageous version of actual Washington politics on some level—the show is, after all, based on the real-life D.C. fixer Judy Smith. But like other politically-based TV series, it’s now directly and indirectly feeding off the energy of a bizarre election year that’s since become…
Scandal returned last night and with all the talk of how closely the series has predicted and mirrored reality, we had to expect the worst.
Shonda Rhimes’ unrelenting grip on your Thursday evening is back tonight with the premiere of the 6th season of Scandal and the mid-season return of Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder.
The storylines on Scandal have been strangely prescient, in the weird way that film and TV tend to mirror and predict real-life events because life is just an endless programming loop with only so many ideas to go around.

Last month, Sara Ramirez sent her fans into a tizzy when she tweeted something vaguely resembling a farewell to Grey’s Anatomy, where she has been a principal character since the show’s third season.
