Scandal, aka: a TV show written specifically FOR ME

[laceblade]

THIS SHOW, LAWD, THIS SHOW.

I finished catching up with Revenge yesterday after running some errands and thought, "Oh, I should start watching Scandal because it sounds like it's right up my alley."

FYI: ONCE YOU WATCH THE ENTIRE PILOT OF SCANDAL, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP UNTIL YOU GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH ALL 7 EPISODES OF SEASON ONE.

The show is like the early seasons of The West Wing, it's what I wanted from The Newsroom.
It's like watching Grey's Anatomy but I haven't yet seen 9 seasons of these characters, haven't yet started to know them like old friends.
The characterization, the storytelling, THE CLOTHING, everything is fucking flawless.

God, Joshua Malina I have missed your face. You are so awesome.

MELLIE.

CYRUS'S HUSBAND.

ALYSSA.

Huck is my favorite, likely surprising no one.

But this is a Shonda Rhimes show, so I actually like everyone, ever.
Also, is it really disturbing that I CAN TELL that every scene that takes place inside a hospital is on the Grey's Anatomy set?

SCANDAL IS SO GOOD OMG. AND YES. THE SAME THING HAPPENE DTO ME. I WATCHED IT ALL. IN ONE DAY.

I mean I watch everything in one day (or 5... I watched all of Doctor Who in 5 days this week. No life I tell you... lol) BUT STILL I DIDN'T WANT TO STOP.

The only bad thing about it is I hate how the president drags down Olivias character. SOBBB. And Abby... I would like Abby if she wasn't so... shaming.

BUT HENRY IAN CUSICK!! ♥
