  • Scandal

    Everyone knows an Olivia Pope, a fixer who gives great advice to friends that they can't seem to follow in their own messy personal life. In this case, though, said mess is a long, drawn-out entanglement with one very married POTUS. While your dignity may take a hit from a decision to backslide to your on-again off-again ex, at least it's unlikely to change the course of history.

    Glad It Wasn't Us: As Fitz's not-so-secret mistress, Olivia is abducted in a VP-hatched plot to get the president to declare war on West Angola (naturally).

  • Marriage is more of an on-again, off-again concept on Wisteria Lane, where you're practically a social pariah if you're not carrying around at least one adulterous, probably prosecutable secret. Be forewarned of the new tall dark stranger on the block that wants to borrow a cup of sugar - their intentions are rarely sweet, often murder-y.

    Glad It Wasn't Us: After her husband's highly public cheating scandal, Bree Van de Kamp falls from grace into the arms of a creepy pharmacist out to gaslight his way into her home and heart.

  • Gilmore Girls
    3

    Through seven seasons, both members of this beloved mother-daughter duo have recurring suitors about whom viewers hold passionate opinions. Despite the sleepy vibes of Stars Hollow, Lorelai and Rory manage to develop swoon-worthy romances, at one point with the rough-around-the-edges but ultimately tender-hearted men of their favorite local diner, who also happen to be related.

    Glad It Wasn't Us: Lorelai's ex and Rory's father, Christopher, has a pesky tendency to pop in and ruin all progress and growth from the Gilmore girls.

  • Tell Me Lies

    Tell Me Lies follows the relatable story of two people who can't seem to resist each other even though they really really (really) should. And while you may find the notion of having a former flame you can't quite shake all too familiar, this toxic cast of characters takes bad decision making to an unprecedented level.

    Glad It Wasn't Us: After spending an entire eight years of her life saying she doesn't want the drama, it may be time for Lucy Albright to admit that she is the drama.
