Overall very enjoyable, intriguing, convincing acting, dense plots and a lot of well developed characters.
BUT the flashforwards used to foreshadow and/or justify certain plot progressions are frigging annoying as is the behaviour of the people involved in those flashforwards, at least of the crazy guy and the panicking woman. I wanna punch both of them so hard in the face when I see them. I tend to fast forward those scenes as they add nothing that I am interested in or can't already combine on my own from context for the most part.
Additionally, I am all for (real, two-way) equality, but the homosexual sex scenes feel like they are shoved down my throat despite not being too explicit. Especially considering we're only seeing gay sex, not lesbian sex. Why is that? Maybe because gay sex is more controversial than lesbian sex? Because you can provoke the audience better with it? It wouldn't be such a problem for me if it wouldn't feel like a deliberate attempt of showing homosexual sex only because it is useful for the plot (bc it is; the romance with the hacker is barely that than it is beneficial for the law student) and you can provoke the audience with it. That's just cheap and in my eyes almost the opposite of equality. This way it's not portrayed as "normal" but rather exploited. You can expect better from Shonda than that.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward, how this is gonna turn out.
