I too found this show promising in the early going. It had elements of the insightfully dramatic and elements of the cringe-worthy cartoonish. It had the opportunity to be developed in either direction. But just having watched the "Spies Like Us" episode, I have to say that the show opted for more cartoonishness rather than less.
Scandal has a good and believable cast. The background intrigue in its series plot arc is interesting and keeps you coming back. But then, wham, the conference room scene and you're left with questions of "what just happened" dramatically speaking.
Anyway, cartoonishness is not necessarily bad (it works on shows like Covert Affairs), but this show seems (or seemed) to want to be taken seriously as a political drama. It could have been, especially considering the cast. I'm not sure what happened or where the show is going now.
5/10 for good premise and cast, but there's just too many questions of tone and/or intent.
score 5/10
