Episode F001 – Pilot

EVERYONE HAS SECRETS, BUT ONLY OLIVIA POPE CAN MAKE THEM GO AWAY

In the series premiere, young lawyer Quinn Perkins is offered a job with the crisis management firm Olivia Pope and Associates. Quinn is in awe. Olivia Pope is the former communications director to the President. She and her team of "gladiators in suites" will do whatever it takes to make their clients' problems go away, and newbie Quinn is initiated into the group with trial by fire on day one. Olivia's former boss, President Fitzgerald Grant and his chief of staff, Cyrus Beene are never far from her beat - and when a White House intern accuses the President of having an affair, Olivia is the only one they trust to diffuse the problem. But the news hits close to home for Olivia, and Quinn soon realizes Olivia's clients aren't the only ones with secrets.

    Muh!  Maybe it's just me, but this leaves me cold.
    Does anyone really care if the President gets accused of having an affair?
    We've already had it in real life, so where's the surprise?

    I also don't know why writers seem to have the tendency to repeat the same names all the time.
    There's already an Olivia in Fringe. They could have called the protagonist a million other names.

    Thinking the same thing. There's another Olivia in Ringer. At least we seem to be over the bevy of Kates from a while back.

    Yes, everybody cares if the president has an affair. Also, everybody cares about the president's birth certificate. Not too many people care about what's going on in world affairs. Sad.

    I don't know about this one. I like Kerry Washington but don't know if she can carry a whole show. I'll wait and watch what others have to say before I decide to get into this.

     I agree, the politicians having an affair scenario has been done to death both in real life and on screen. Besides, I suspect it will be way over the top on the show with a presidential scandal. Meh.

    It's different. I am willing to give it a try.
