There are many shows which go on and on, far beyond their ‘expiry date’.
Scandal should have ended in Season 5. It had gone its limit. We’ve seen the most repulsive characters, ever. We’ve been assaulted by plots so ridiculous they make cartoons seem serious. We’ve heard dialogue so unnatural one wonders if the writer lives on Earth.
One of the stupidest ideas was to have this character, Olivia Pope’s father, called ‘Command’ who is in charge of some secret group. This makes one think, even if they are anti-American, how pathetic the story line is, how unreal, untrue, and plain stupid.
The show begins with the star character, Olivia Pope. She is having an affair with the married President of the United States. It’s a bit interest provoking at the beginning, but when it is revealed her father is this super powerful babble train called Command who runs everything and everyone and does everything and gets away with it one feels like puking.
Olivia has a team which seems a mixture of private investigators, lobbyists, and assassins. Not that plausible but it sort of kind of worked.
Then it jumps into insanity.
The dialogue is annoying, unlike anything anyone speaks, and each character speaks the same. There is no full character, they are just objects, so one can’t link with them because they are all ephemeral.
Unlike shows where one knows the character, whether Worf on Star Trek, or Leroy Gibbs on NCIS. The characters on Scandal can do anything. Each one can kill, or cry, or lie, or steal, or trick or sell out… they are all the same.
They may seem different by appearance, but they all act the same. They all talk the same, and the plots get stupider and less real as the show progresses.
Eventually, one wonders why they are watching it.
If you’ve never watched it, don’t.

I don't watch that TV show. I was never a fan. I only suffered through a few episodes because my husband likes Kerry Washington. It's so boring.
I think repulsive more than boring. It is so far from reality. From the idiotic dialogue to the plots...
Agree. Repulsive is a much better description. Don't know how the series got so popular cause it ain't nothing but trash! I worked in D.C. I'm sure I wasn't aware of a lot of crap that was going on. But I wasn't that far out of the loop!! This show is just plain old ridiculous!!
When it first started... it might have had some interest, but over time... it's ridiculous. What makes it even more annoying is the dialogue... people don't talk like that.
It is so beyond reality... it makes Star Trek look like National Geographic
When it started, made us go see it every day, but now it is not as good and attractive to see as before, they stretch to let you set more time and make lots of new episodes but the story and the event is that same. It is nto the same as it started like they changed thte story and that is not good
Yes, each episode is worse and more silly than the previous
