A former media relations consultant to the President, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of our nation’s elite. After leaving the White House, the power consultant opened her own firm, hoping to start a new chapter — both professionally and personally — but she can’t seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her staff, who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, can’t quite fix the ones closest at hand — their own.
Political dramas in and of themselves do not do it for me, but these shows have a bit of pizazz, unusual twists and turns and acting I can get behind even when the characters sometimes irritate me or even creep me out. We live in an era of corruption these shows perhaps overaccentuate, but that is the fun of TV.
