Has it jumped the shark? I still find it entertaining but am thinking maybe Shonda needs to wrap it up next season.

I agree it getting a bit silly....I'm still watching, but not enjoying it as much as previous series.

It has totally jumped the shark. I am fed up of Olivia's pained expression all the time. The only two characters I like are Mellie and the Vice President. I'm bored by it now.

I always liked Carlos from Desperate Housewives so I'm glad to see him show up, and I like Susan Ross too but why has David Rosen become such a creep? Also, are there hints that Cyrus and agent Tom are sleeping together?

Loving the brighter colours Olivia is wearing now, and Liz North's wardrobe of wide legged trousers and pussy-bow blouses is fab too.

I also always thought it would end with Olivia as the president but think it's lost it's way a bit now.

I'm couldn't agree more.Last night I was catching up with the latest episode to air in America and kept thinking that I miss how the 'Gladiators' used to have a new client each week and would deal with said clients issue, then the main storyline would kind of continue in the background. Now it's like there is no Gladiators anymore, I don't see how any of them are even getting paid as they don't seem to do much work except for being Liv's personal spies.
Must say I absolutely love Mellie though

oneowlgirl · 05/04/2016 19:46

Complete agree with all the comments but still enjoy it.

Absolutely love Mellie & Susan Ross & loved Susan telling Fitz she didn't want his public support.

I wish they'd get back to being gladiators again too & get rid of Olivia's dad but I read he's been promoted to series regular.

Also hate that David Rosen has been turned into a 2-timing cheat. Abby is bugging me too - can't stand her whiny voice.

I do enjoy it though Grin

Olivia's dad was good in small doses (and I figured out who he was from the moment he appeared) but now every time he appears on screen I think "here comes the monologue..." And Jake used to be hot but now he's just a bit gross.

That is very true Cer - you're spot on (unfortunately!).

Adventuregame · 06/04/2016 12:31

Used to really enjoy it but prefer Madame Secretary now which is AMAZING !!!

oneowlgirl · 08/04/2016 13:56

I loved last nights episode - seemed back to form!

Cerseirys · 08/04/2016 21:56

Yes, and I KNEW Cyrus and a Agent Tom were shagging!

Oh no, Olivia has gone to the dark side. I really hoped she would remain on the side of good.

Adventuregame · 13/05/2016 13:34

So over Rowan being evil now !!
And Jake - he's good, he's bad, he's good , he's bad..........

youngestisapsycho · 15/05/2016 08:19

Surely one of them should just kill Rowan!

Adventuregame · 16/05/2016 15:22

Agreed ! They've got plenty of guns - just shoot him !

Adventuregame · 25/05/2016 08:39

Confused - so is that what Rowan wanted all along ? Bit of an anti climax ?

PaulAnkaTheDog · 25/05/2016 11:23

It's shit now. Think I will stop watching now.

youngestisapsycho · 25/05/2016 11:41

It is getting silly... as I said above, anyone could easily kill Rowan and then everything would be OK... and Cyrus, he could be offed too!

Adventuregame · 26/05/2016 08:42

Think there is only one more episode this season ?

youngestisapsycho · 26/05/2016 09:53

Last week was the last one....

Adventuregame · 27/05/2016 13:36

What ? That was the end ? Urggghhhhh

paniniswapx3 · 27/05/2016 22:07

I thought that too Adventure when I realised it last night.

eternalopt · 29/05/2016 22:20

What? Last week was the finale? Huh. Did my realise that! Came onto this thread to see if anyone knew what happened to this weeks episode! Not a great finale.
