I just started watching this a few weeks ago on Netflix; it was amazing I would come home and go straight to watching it, but now I could be bothered. Once they introduced Jake Ballard it got a little ehh. Not because of him, but things just got repetitive and tiring around that time.
I just want Olivia and Fitz to be together already, enough with the back and forth -- so tiring. It's still a great show regardless, it was just better before.
I think Olivia as First Lady is what we really needed, and they didn`t give that to us. Her mum disappearing and Fitz`s son dying was where things jumped the shark for me.
The show-killing move was when they 'outed' Olivia as Fitz's mistress at the end of season two. That either should have been the titular, series finale scandal, or there should have been something else obviously brewing in the background. Without that ticking timebomb the show feels completely at sea, flailing from one plot line to the next and desperately trying to squeeze in scenes for the Argos catalogue of awful characters that can still describe themselves as series regulars.
Bellamy Young is literally the only reason I'm still watching, and she deserves better.
