I really used to like Scandal. The first 4 seasons were really good. The following seasons, were not as good, in my opinion.
I'm just a little disappointed.
But, Kudos to Joe Morton for an outstanding performance again!
The two kids looking at Olivia's Portrait, though? Are they Olivia's daughters, so the scene is set in the future? Or does the protrait means she became the first female black president? Shonda Rhimes did not want to answer that and said it was a "secret" on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I think. It's up to us to imagine and assume, then.
Nevertheless, thank you Scandal for a decent 6 years of entertainment.
I will always remember the iconic Olivia Pope every time I grab a glass of wine or/and some popcorn. :)
Cyrus resigned?????? I'm dissappointed. He should be in Jacksonville jail, side by side with Jack. Too good for him. Satan himself. Did the writers got tired at the end?
OMG... Poor David. He was the only good guy. I didn't like that he died.
I'm glad Jake and Cyrus end up with nothing left. I always thought that one of them or both were going to died at the end. They did so many bad things and deserve a better punishment.
I'm glad Quinn and Bernard had their happy ending.
Mellie did good! She was better than the others.
Olivia and Fitz. I knew they will end together.
I'm going to miss this show. The characters were so good and the drama too. Thank you for all the entertainment.
Wow, that was complete and utter bullshit. I can't count all the sharks this show has been jumping over in the last 2-3 seasons and I'm very glad this was the last one.
Watchable, but not the best season by far.
New men of power than have suddenly just appeared from thin air.
Liv is a top notch twat. But somehow only needs three episodes to redeem 3 seasons of utter twatness.
Jake, the man who wanted out, is now suddenly power hungry.
Huck just whimpers all season.
Don’t even get me started on Cyrus having totally different goals this season.
And Dave. Noooo, Dave!
Eli deciding that Olivia (his actual child) and Jake (his essentially adopted child) were never enough to make him soft but some random woman he kidnaps’ baby is all he needs in life.
Fitz was pretty pointless this entire last season.
Only really Charlie and Mellie that seemed to stay in character and actually offer anything to the series.
I am content. I always thought I needed more intense and dramatic end to Scandal but we had 2 dramatic and tense episodes earlier. The whole season was pretty much resolved very quickly. Olivia's fight with the Gladiators was about one "bad" decision, not like any of them made so much bad decisions and killed so many, right? The reconciliation was in return very slow considering how quickly they all wanted to burn her. Yet, when they all started working together it was exactly old Scandal as I loved which made me so happy and that's why I am content. It could be worse, like the finale of The Good Wife...
I am still so confused why I like Jake. He's so awesome when he's good but so revolting when he's bad. He was always my favourite bad character as he wasn't all bad and Olivia still to the end cared about him. Even at the end he couldn't be caged. He was calm and able to be in that happy place in his memories of when I loved him so much.
I only wanted Cyrus to be dead or imprisoned. I even thought he would kill himself when he was talking with Olivia about a drink.
And Eli.... That's a great character as well. We still don't know if he's a mastermind who was so bad and yet at the end tricked everyone to have his daughter back, or maybe he's crazy?
This end is a subjective one bc we don't really know anything. What was Olivia's painting at the end? Did Jake really got imprisoned? Will being yet again thrown out of the WH do anything for Cyrus to become a better person or at least feel it as a punishment? Your guess is as good as mine.
I just wish a better ending scene with Liv and Fitz, in bed, marriage, working together... anything else.
Series finale. I think they should all end up in jail. You have to be stupid to do that. A final very ... without words. It's over, finally
In what world does Cyrus resigning and David dying equal good ending? David has been a pillar for good most the shows life. Yes he has had his hiccups but they are the size of mustard seeds compared to the transgressions of everyone else. Is this like an allegory for what DC does to people IRL?? Smh
They didn't deserve there "happy ending" at all ! They should and up in jail. Very ,very, very bad end of series.
As many others I hoped the authors would have the courage to kick them all in a maximum security prison, but what to expect from a poor show if not a poor ending?
I used to like Scandal, it was stupid since the beginning but enjoyable and entertaining too, a perfect guilty pleasure. I even believed that there was a sort of message, about how power could corrupt even well-meaning people. In my opinion it jumped the shark with Olivia's kidnapping, and it just kept getting worse from there.
Characters are a bunch of horrible people: they lie, manipulate, blackmail, threaten, torture - litterally! - and even murder, nevertheless they dare to call themself "gladiators", "white knights", "good guys".
In every season someone crosses the line, but then a bigger bad conveniently appears, the so-called good guy has the opportunity to redime themself, the problem is fixed with a cheap and convenient twist and the team gets together one more time - and who's care if in the course of events they do enough shit to be thrown in jail for the rest of their lives!
This final season does nothing but repeat the formula once more, but this time it's more disappointing because it's the end.
Icing on the cake: it's implied that Olivia and Fitz get together again. He is one of the most stupid and annoying characters I've ever seen, I can't say how much I can't stand him!
final season was disappointing. the final episode was a major let down. scandal was one of the greatest TV shows. the truly sad part is we know they could've done better.
Not a good end of show finale The episode before this one was more intense.
Good thing its over. It overstayed by 3 series
What an epic disappointment. Been waiting for Cyrus’s epic downfall for seven seasons... only to see that? That show had so strength, such passion... I will definitely miss the very first seasons. Sad that Scandal jumped the shark so many times and that nothing, absolutely nothing has been done to make it amazing again. Solid cast of actors, though. I’ll miss the Gladiators for sure.

What a disappointing ending to a weak season. All was solved too easily and conveniently. The good guy dies and the bad guy walks.
