I avoided this show because it's Shonda Rhimes and I hate Grays Anatomy.
It's got lots of buzz on Twitter so I thought I'd try it out on Netflix.
I'm addicted.
I watched 30 episodes in about a week and Season 3 premiers tomorrow night (Thursday)
So many great characters. Compelling story lines, some are kind of hokey ala Grays, but over all an excellent show.

I never watched Grays but I'm hooked on Scandal and can hardly wait until Thursday. The actors can keep up with the fast dialog but I can only watch with CC turned on. Columbus Short sounds like an auctioneer.
In Gunnyman's defense, all of Shonda Rhimes' shows have a similar feel to them, even if the subject matter is different. It's the way the dialogue is written.
Can't stand Rhimes' other shows and my wife and I enjoy Scandal. We binged on it this summer. I am not sure how much either of us will remember, though, because a lot of the binging was in the hospital when my wife was recovering from surgery and/or in mild sepsis.
It was really good and needs to be re-watched because I always miss something. Loved "I am the Hell and the Highwater" Dad, "Lawd-Lawd" Sally, "I'll turn on you in a minute" Cyrus, and "I got it all figured out" Mellie.
Does anyone really thing Olivia's mom is actually dead and if she is, she died in an accident?
A good portion of scandal and the 30 minutes preceding it were pre-empted coverage of a storm that was 45 minutes northeast of the primary viewing area. Going to have to watch it via other means.

Now that they've given us the info on Olivia's Mom, nope, don't believe she's dead. I suspect Diahann Carroll will show up as Mom sometime this season (pure speculation on my part, I've seen nothing reported anywhere.)
The guy is super talented It's good to see him getting some better material to work with. Eureka was a joke in terms of writing.
I highly recommend a film Morton was in called Lone Star (1996). It was arguably John Sayles' last great film.
