This week on Yes, I’m Still Watching! Mallory, Esra, and Gina take a trip to Shondaland, and more specifically, to Washington, D.C., and the breakthrough thrills of Scandal. Mallory unpacks the many ways in which the show broke barriers and set new precedents; Esra dives into the creative specificities of Olivia Pope’s Blackness, and Gina asserts that Shonda Rhimes is our modern-day Jane Austen.
