TV review - "Scandal" Season 1 and 2

Highly enjoyable "page turning" TV with twist upon twist upon twist and perhaps the greatest excuse for a couple to not get together on tv in ages: Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn love each other but he can't leave his wife because he's the Republican president and lunatic vice president Kate Burton would get in and push her Bible thumping agenda. Washington is a powerful independent woman who looks great but seems scared a lot of the time; everyone adores her. The show is unfortunately pro torture in that it consistently shows torture to be an effective method of information gaining.
