I'm looking at the sum of the parts, if that makes sense. Believability was ridiculous in season 2, but any show that starts its very first episode with the lead character killing a dog is not going for realism. It executed WHAT IT IS (ELITE hyperdrama, what Scandal dreams to be) exceptionally well, and anyone who says otherwise is just plain wrong (it's possible it's just out of your taste range, which is fine). Even the completely blind Academy got that. Based on what got nominated from the show, they clearly watched it, minus the Kate Mara Guest Actress EMMY nom.
Right now, it's in my top 10 for the year, but I don't know if it will stay there. It has a good shot.

Did you know that an actor's performance in a bad TV show can actually get nominated for EMMYs? Jeff Daniels inhabits Will McAvoy, and he is absolutely deserving of being there, even though that show is pretty damn awful overall. Did you know he actually won last year? Sit back and let that stew a minute.
