Scandal Season 6: Delighted or Disappointed? Our record of the season

Scandal’s Season 6 ended on Thursday, May 18, on the US-based ABC. You are then invited to discover our general feeling about this new chapter of the Shonda Rhimes series.
We will finally accept that the seasons of Scandal will always be in halves with sometimes exciting episodes and sometimes big disappointments, to believe that the writers really have trouble managing the rhythm of their season. The good point of Scandal’s Season 6 is that there were fewer episodes – only 16 – thus concentrating the plot and avoiding too many lengths. On the other hand, if there were less lengths, the beginning of the season was marked by a lot of repetitions because of the excessive use of flashbacks. Season 6 started with a jump in time, The writers decided to make us discover what had happened in the meantime through flashbacks concerning each time a character in particular. If this narrative choice proved at first very interesting, it quickly became tiresome because we were too often seen the same scenes – so much so that we all know the speech of Francisco Vargas by heart now . Fortunately, this narrative system is not used throughout the season.
Moreover, if we appreciate that the writers decided to reverse a little the roles of the parents of Olivia Pope by putting them this time in “victims” , we find that they are characters who always take a little too much Especially because of their monologues. We really hope that Rowan will not occupy too much space in the last season, because Olivia deserves to reign. Speaking of Olivia Pope, our heroine is still one of the highlights of the series and we never tire of seeing her manage a crisis situation with all the class and ingenuity that she knows how to show . The more you go along with the seasons, the more Olivia knows what she wants and leaves no one getting in the way – not even her feelings for Fitz . Olivia seems much inspired by her parents, she is much less innocent than her gladiator beginnings which makes it even more interesting.
As for the great villains of the season, we must admit to being quite mixed on the issue. Peus and Samantha have never had our sympathy, we find that they are disappointing enemies. Certainly they were formidable and ready for anything to come to an end, but they lacked relief and depth. It is always more interesting to have a bad guy who is not 100%, with some redeeming qualities – like Rowan with Olivia – which was not the case here. On the other hand, the fact that the threat came mainly from outside allowed us to offer a nice coalition between all the other characters in the series who had to unite temporarily despite their differences. We will conclude our review by mentioning briefly what was for us the biggest disappointment of this season: the 100th episode . More felt like a kind of fan service than as an episode that would really question the series and the acts of the characters, the “and if?” Was very boring to follow, offering only too agreed intrigues. In any case, we hope that the series will offer a good end because Scandal season 7 will be the last and we expect an end up to what the series can be when it is at its best.
