	Author	Review
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"'Scandal' isn't a deep show, but it's bright enough"	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"If you like a show that's not afraid to go bananas, this might just be your type of low-hanging fruit"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"It is stylish, hammy, sexy, dirty, devilish, laughably bad TV, the guiltiest pleasure since the network unveiled 'Revenge'"	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"While there are moments that are downright laughable, 'Scandal' has flair and even sophistication"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"You can think of 'Scandal' as the modern equivalent of those old Sidney Sheldon miniseries and enjoy it at that level. Assuming you can get through the first hour. And past the main character (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"It's the new 'Revenge', but so much goofier and more shameless that it makes 'Revenge' look comparatively measured"	NEU
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"At once cynical and softhearted, 'Scandal' is a nighttime soap less believable than 'Private Practice'. Good acting, though"	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"To enjoy the show, though, you really have to suspend disbelief at many points, just as you do with 'Grey's'. There are moments when the frenetic drive for cleverness prompts some rather silly decisions about plot points"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"As usual, Rhimes' workplace characters talk very fast, but the manic visual style can't obscure a series flawed on most every level"	NEG
