9. "Scandal" is 100% art--nothing gratuitous--not even the sex

Thanks very much, Marta.

I have not figured out "Scandal" as the masterful work of art that I believe it is, except for parts of it. However, I am confident that the sex, and every line in the script, are there in service to the profound messages the series is bringing to us.
