Why this series still plays
Olivia Pope and her gladiators clean up D.C. disasters she half-created — white hats, soapy twists, live-tweet national sport. Shonda Rhimes put Kerry Washington at the center of network drama in a way primetime had not sustained for decades. Seven seasons of #TGIT fixer chic. Political pulp as Thursday religion, representation stakes included, subtlety optional.

Tony Goldwyn's president, Jeff Perry's Cyrus, Columbus Short, Darby Stanchfield, the firm keeping the pulp operatic. Political soap meets romance at full velocity.
