What BollyAI Thinks

Scandal's compressed seven-episode first season arrived in April 2012 and earned 87% on Rotten Tomatoes from 31 critics. Joshua Alston at Vulture described it as 'a solid appetizer that lays a solid foundation for Olivia's future, and it delivers one of the show's greatest finale twists.' Sarah Hughes at the Guardian noted it 'hurtles towards a climax that is simultaneously brilliant and crazy.' Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope - rapid-fire, imperious, and privately unravelling - was identified immediately as a rare creation: a network drama lead whose intelligence and authority were the premise rather than the aspiration. Alan Sepinwall at HitFix noted after four episodes that the show's world-building remained murky.
