I was dragged into watching it from a political friend of mine two weeks ago. Watched all three seasons of it on Netflix. While I didn't hate and found it kind of addictive, this show is soooo awful. What are your thoughts on the over-dramatic scenes, which is EVERYONE...

Then you enjoyed watching it and it fulfilled it's intended purpose.

The show isn't some once in a generation tv show that's gonna win a ton of awards, but it's entertaining and it presents a broad story (and many many sub stories) that you can't wait to see play out.

That said, I'm halfway through season 3, and I'm fed up with Fitz. Dude is a spoiled, bratty, bitch.

Too dramatic for me. I know a lot of people that like it though.

I cannot stand Olivia Pope.

That character is a sanctimonious hypocritical brat.

If the show didn't focus so much on her I'd probably like it more though it's still pretty ridiculous for the most part.

I watch this show a lot yet I hate it so much because it basically glorifies infidelity. Thankfully they're moving away from that in the later half of season 3.

I hate Olivia because she stays with a married man constantly and has no problem breaking a family and marriage up. Same for fitz neglecting his wife and kids but he's showing signs of improvement and we could mellie and fitz rekindling their marriage next season. It'll be interesting to see what daddy pope's endgame is.

The wife loves it. I watched a few with her and was like "this feels like Greys Anatomy" and sure enough it's from the same creator and that's all I needed to know. I'll watch parts of episodes with her here and there, but I don't think I would enjoy binge watching 3 seasons. Way too much chick drama.

Despite the political chess setting, this is definitely a chick show.

The only demographic this show appeals to are black females.

Still not sure why.
