8. Scandal (Season 3)
The Basics: Who doesn't know Ms. Olivia Pope? The mistress to the US President, crisis management firm owner and former White House Communications Director is who this series is all about. Believing in the system and trying to move on with her life after being romantically involved with the President, Olivia helps those who need it by "fixing" their dilemmas. Part PR, part lawyer, Olivia and her team have helped many in Washington's elite from various scandals all while political and shadowy goings-on have popped up in Ms. Pope's private life. But the one secret she has tried to keep from getting out finally has: she was the mistress to the President of the United States.
The Turn Up: Now that the secret is out and has began to affect Olivia's bottom line, the stakes not only turned up but have turned "the fixer" into an American version of MI5. Twists, turns, questions of loyalty and death. Finding out that Olivia's father, Rowan, is actually the mastermind behind some unsolved deaths was already a doozy in itself but, then, finding out he's also the head of the shadowy government agency, known as B613, was mind-blowing. But perhaps what was equally as mind-blowing was the revelation that Olivia's mother is still alive! I vote for this as one of the best twists of the season!
