So here’s the deal: I’m a Netflix addict. I always have a series on the go, whether I’m rewatching Friends (for the billionth time) or catching up with the Gilmore Girls – I can’t get enough. I love high drama, a kick ass female lead and more than a few cliffhangers… enter: Scandal. Yet another incredible offering from the amaaaaaazing Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder), Scandal is just about the best series on Netflix. Based in Washington DC, Kerry Washington stars as Olivia Pope, a professional ‘fixer’ and former White House aide; the series focuses on Pope’s personal relationship with the President and the lives of her associates. The whole series is full of twists, turns and steamy affairs. Not to mention a lot of political drama and truly fantastic trouser suits. IT IS THE BEST, and this listicle is going to prove it.
