Angel C @Angel157 01/12/2025 “A Riveting and Addictive Legal Thriller!” The first season of How to Get Away with Murder is nothing short of a masterpiece, blending intense drama, shocking twists, and unforgettable performances into one of the most compelling TV experiences in recent years. Shonda Rhimes and Peter Nowalk have created a legal thriller that is as smart as it is addictive, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. At the heart of the show is the phenomenal Viola Davis, whose portrayal of Annalise Keating is nothing short of iconic. She masterfully brings complexity and vulnerability to the sharp, commanding criminal defense professor, making her both awe-inspiring and deeply human. Davis’s Emmy-winning performance alone is reason enough to watch, but the show also delivers a dynamic ensemble cast, including standouts like Alfred Enoch, Aja Naomi King, and Jack Falahee. The narrative structure is innovative and gripping, using flash-forwards and flashbacks to unravel a tangled web of lies, murder, and betrayal. Each episode delivers jaw-dropping twists that keep you guessing and begging for more. The writing is razor-sharp, combining legal intrigue with personal drama in a way that feels fresh and exhilarating. Visually, the series is sleek and stylish, perfectly complementing the fast-paced storytelling. The courtroom scenes are electric, the character dynamics are rich, and the stakes are sky-high, making every moment feel vital and thrilling. How to Get Away with Murder is not just a legal drama—it’s a pulse-pounding mystery and a character-driven exploration of morality, ambition, and survival. Whether you’re a fan of crime thrillers or simply love exceptional storytelling, this show is a must-watch. Rating: 10/10 – A brilliant, edge-of-your-seat drama that redefines the genre. Don’t miss it! See more Benjamin G @BxDxGx 08/26/2024 I watched the series awhile back after its initial hype, and man what a messed up ride it was. As bizarre and wild (and farfetched) as its twists and turns are, I was pretty locked in through to the end. So I’ve decided to give it a second try. I like how the series takes place in a college setting, which always brings back nostalgia for me, but also because it has some smart writing that you don’t always get on TV. The show is a hot mess, however, it’s the character and relationship building, such as Frank and Laurel’s, that makes it an engaging watch. Long story short, it’s laughable how ridiculous it gets at times, which makes it entertaining in that respect, but makes it difficult to openly recommend to others. If you like mystery lawyer crime content with both young adult and adult themes, plus some genuinely bizarre moments, then HTGAWM might be right for you.

My legal knowledge was a bit of a curse because there was so much malpractice, I'm shocked she hasn't been disbarred already. This is just my opinion, but there was too much romance. It seems like everybody is cheating on everyone else. Also, contrary to the title of the show, the characters have been seen by so many people, it doesn't seem like they'll get away with murder.

If you want a long, drawn out, predictable story that is peppered with unnecessary cex scenes for 45 seconds a piece, this 'show' is for you. God awful acting, bad characters, bad writing. Plot holes galore, completely unrealistic scenarios in every facet break the 4th wall and make this shhhhh unwatchable. See more 02/02/2022 Not for me. Clunky dialogue, stereotypical characters. Boring. See more Read all reviews
