My Affair with Scandal












First of all, I don't want to spoil anything throughout this post and secondly, I'm not really sure what made me finally sit down to watch this show but I don't care. I get up to this show and I fall asleep to this show. I'm pretty sure I've even had dreams about this show. I love how one minute I'm predicting what will happen and then it turns out to be the complete opposite. Getting into it was easy. The story of a woman that's had an affair with the President is always interesting but what's even better is that it's so much more than that. Each character of Olivia Pope's firm has a back story that reels you in for more. Then, there is the story of "Defiance." We don't get this story until a little later but we were shown bits and pieces of the characters that originated this conspiracy pretty early. Those are all the story lines that go between the ever struggling relationship between Fitz and Olivia. If you love to watch a show that has deep, intertwined stories with characters that are strong and even flawed, this will quench your everlasting thirst for an interesting watch.

Sherlock Series 4: Undoubtedly Precedent


It's happening! Finally a conformation for the fourth series has been announced. After watching series 3 in March (after the blue ray release) I have been avidly looking up to see when Moffat and Gatiss were confirming for the fourth series. Months have gone by and nothing. In American television, this process doesn't take very long because there are so many shows being produced on so many different networks that this kind of information is kept up to date. I mean, we literally have events called the "Upfronts" that tell us what shows are staying alive or getting axed, and what new shows will be premiering in the fall. When it comes to British television, we just have to sit and wait until the producers can confirm whether or not a series is coming back. Obviously we didn't have to worry about it because the show is globally acclaimed, so it was just having to wait out the rumors that there would be a movie instead of a series or it would take two years before they could all get together and make this thing... blah blah.

Here are the facts of series four:
1. There will be three full episodes of series 4.
2. There will also be a "minisode" beforehand like in 2013.
3. Premier date will be in 2016.
4. It will be everything we never expected.

The fact of the matter is, if you're not excited about this, go home and get to watching. It's all on Netflix and worth every minute to just sit there with your jaw to the ground because this show is without a doubt a jaw dropping, eye piercing, amazing piece of art.
Enjoy
