Scandal Review

Scandal is back and it seems a bit more scandalous than ever. Last night, after another juicy episode of Grey's Anatomy (on its 10th season), ABC premiered its third season of the highly anticipated hit television show scandal. The ending of season two left us all hanging on the edge of our chairs begging for answers to the most intriguing questions while anticipating the wittiest answers. Writers of the show have a way of doing that to audience members. We were excitingly welcomed to season three by the publicized claims that the president was having an affair with Olivia Pope. Yes- yes- yes- the reveal has come.  Leave it to Shonda Rhimes to add the perfect twists in this upbeat series. The shows flow was well paced and Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope) does a great job keeping true up-beat flow of the show as she continues her take-charge, take-no-prisoners methods. But I must admit it’s crucial you pay attention to the bulky dialogue or you will get lost. I understand you have to squeeze a lot in but can we slow it down a td bit ABC? ... Just a suggestion.

                

           Aside from the spoilers and the delicious gossip (for those who are not caught up), I'm pretty sure we all were anticipating the infamous mistress Miss Pope and her latest fashion statements. The shows wardrobe team has done a great job keeping miss popes attire match the character perfectly. It has been a statement for miss "Pope" to wear all white, which usually symbolizes purity (ha-ha), which has definitely contributed to her character traits. I know we all love to see her revved up in the heels we all feel we need. Season three did not disappoint as far as fashion is concerned. Miss Pope looked professional but her outfits also let the public know why the president (Tony Goldwyn) has his eye on the sophisticated diva with a soft side.

Thus far the premiere episode did not disappoint and I am excited to see what else the show has to offer. I do fear however that writers may add too much twist in the show which may overwhelm us but I guess the only way to find out is to tune in and I’m willing to continue to give it a chance.

I decided to write my blog about the hit show Scandal and my writing style will be inspired by Maureen Ryan of the Huffington post. I chose Ms. Ryan because I enjoyed her writing style and topics she wrote about. Her reviews are a reflection of her personal opinion as well as thought that many audience members may share. I also enjoyed her comparison of shows, word choice and side comments as she critiqued and analyzed a show. Bellow are some examples of her work...
