"Scandal" season 6 is swirling in its own dose of controversy as reports say that the Shonda Rhimes TV series is about to get axed. The followers of the TV series topbilled by Kerry Washington are not taking the "Scandal" season 6 cancellation news well, especially since there are still a lot of loose threads in the plot.
'Scandal' Season 6 Cancellation - Critics Saw It Coming?
The controversy of "Scandal" season 6 cancellation initially didn't come as a surprise to the TV show's critics. Although the postponement of "Scandal" season 6 was mainly tagged with Kerry Washington's pregnancy, some critics believe that the network is axing the show due to low ratings.
Adding injury to the "Scandal" season 6 cancellation news is the reported butchering of the upcoming show's episodes. "Scandal" season 6 will reportedly be comprised of only six episodes which, in the world of TV series, would indicate a show's impending end or lackluster.
