The hype this ABC show generated on social media caught my attention and before I could say Jack Robinson, I had the DVD of it alongside some other movies just incase it was boring.
Guess what? It was predictable at the beginning. I had guessed Olivia Pope's job was to solve scandalous problems for her clients to which she buckled down to doing.
Her visit to the white house and kissing the president was so out of the blues like where is this coming from? At that moment, the movie was ejected and placed aside where it gathered dust for months.
Yet again the power of social media and the nudging of a friend made me pick up the DVD again. At some point the series got so boring that staying awake became a struggle not until i was awaken by the loud music played at the scene of "take off your clothes". My eyes opened to see Olivia pampering the hairy chest of President Fitz. My goodness what was that? Now i see what the social media fantasy was about and the fact that Olivia's cases were not the scandal but these very things that i was beholding right before my very eyes. Wow! Now my eyes were wide open, awake and alert to the Olitz super power magical love story.
This TV series has been the brain work of these three women who have exemplified functions beyond the ordinary. To Judy Smith for being the Inspiration, Shonda Rhimes for creating the play and Kerry Washington for stellar performance of working the inspiration into the play, kudos!
