KerryWashington dresses in white (a lot), drinks lots of red wine and walks... and talks very fast... ... enjoy this show as a guilty pleasure... because it might not have the content-enough to be more than that. One reviewer compared SCANDAL to DAMAGES, but for me: sorry, DAMAGES was superb, and far better than this series. Again, not bad as a guilty pleasure, but Ms.Washington.... a very attractive woman, who is beautifully costumed ( for the most part) is not devastatingly beautiful enough to convince me that she would... relentlessly, have such a knock-me-down impact on all the men who cross her path ( I definitely could see, let's say, VanessaWilliams in this role, and it would all be, then, much more plausible). None-the-less, Ms.Washington soldiers-on with the material-given, which relies far too much on "things happening" rather than character development. Two of the more interesting characters are Ms.FirstLady and Huck.... though both are drawn a bit too broadly ( sometimes approaching caricature) for my taste. But... if it's a choice between DAMAGES and SCANDAL.... there is no choice.
