...to cancel the ridiculous "Scandal" series? I made the mistake of watching the first couple of seasons on Netflix, but as it started to get more and more fantastic and farfetched, I kept watching just to see how much more ridiculous it could possibly get.
And boy, is it ridiculous! It just gets ludicrous and I have to ask myself how Shonda Rhimes got away with it for so long!?!? She is the creator of this embarrassing and mortifying show about keeping power in Washington and the Oval Office at any and all costs. But who was the casting director???? The guy playing the president, Tony Goldwyn -- gee, wonder how he got the part? -- is a weak pussy. Here are a few other preposterous characters:
Olivia Pope -- desperately hysterical and absurd;
Susan...something or other -- the VP, played by an overweight dummie who could not possibly be a VP in reality;
The auditor general -- having an affair with the VP!
The chief of staff -- a gay guy who thinks he can make it to the presidency!
The president's ex-wife -- a giddy freak becomes president!
The Director of the FBI -- now here's the capper! A young, black, female disco-Queen type. Feature it! Just feature it! FBI director!!
Ms. Rhimes is black and black music and characters are everywhere. So over-the-top and obviously an over-compensation for.....whatever Ms. Rhimes has experienced in her own personal background.
The plot is beggars belief. I am now watching just to see how much more ludicrous it can possibly get! Don't bother -- unless you need a dose of 'Monty Python'. Now, that interpretation works.
