"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes is the creative mind behind this ABC drama. Olivia Pope, a former media consultant to the president, is ready to move on with her life and opens her own crisis-management firm, but she can't seem to shake ties with her past. Olivia's staff includes Quinn Perkins, who has a complicated history, and hacker extraordinaire Huck. As she moves forward it becomes clear that, while her staffers may specialize in cleaning up the lives of other people, they can't seem to do the same for themselves.

Amanda Bell Entertainment Weekly If so, one thing's for sure: Olivia's gonna be maaaaaaad. Rated: B+ Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Taylor Ferber Us Weekly No amount of popcorn and red wine could help fans cope with the wild return of Scandal - clearly, Shonda Rhimes was coming for Us harder than Olivia Pope is now coming for Cyrus Beene. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox Where we are now... could give us one of the best Scandal seasons yet. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Paul Dailly TV Fanatic I was floored by the revelation that Luna was involved in all of the drama. Seriously, this show has got to stop with these crazy twists. They shock me to the core. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Meghan Demaria Refinery29 It's the United States of Beene now, and that's absolutely terrifying. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Andy Swift TV Line Nary an inch of scenery went unchewed during Thursday's Scandal as Olivia and her fellow Gladiators sought retribution against Rowan.

Audience Member When they say a show went from bad to worse, season 6 is the bad and 7 is the absolute worst. Season 6 still has a couple decent moments, but best to end it there if you can survive the insufferable boredom of the exact same story being replayed across multiple episodes. The heads of this show seemed to think they were innovative filmmakers and forgot that this is just a romantic drama, nothing more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Too bad Scandal will soon close its crazy book after what seems to be a brilliant second wind. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 6 is worst season ever Ridiculous Don't care what happens New writers?
