I never watched an episode until 2019!! Leave to me to be late and tardy to the party ALL THE TIME. I watched every episode of every season.. I'm hooked and because of this show, I'm always questioning politics..the OPTICS...I can so relate to some of the characters on the show. My so called friends are actually named Cyrus Rutherford Bean, who would proudly step on a dead relative's head to get ahead!!! I'm about to purchase HULU so that I can start the series over. As soon as my shift ends!!! Thanks Shonda
