More Show More Episodes How to Get Away With Murder: Season 1 Photos View All Photos (314) Tv Season Info In the first season of this crime drama produced by Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland, cold-blooded criminal-defense lawyer and no-nonsense law professor Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) selects a group of her brightest pupils at a prestigious Philadelphia university—Laurel Castillo (Karla Souza), Wes Gibbins (Alfred Enoch), Asher Millstone (Matt McGorry), Michaela Pratt (Aja Naomi King) and Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee)—to work at her firm. Eager to learn no matter the cost, they take turns succeeding and failing under the tutelage of associate attorney Bonnie Winterbottom (Liza Weil) and jack-of-all-trades Frank Delfino (Charlie Weber). Little do they know, however, is that the show's titular lesson will hit very close to home when a sorority girl's missing body is found in the house's water tank, and a series of flashbacks and flash-forwards unravels their entanglement in a real-life murder conspiracy. Other cast members include Billy Brown, Tom Verica, Katie Findlay and Marcia Gay Harden. Genre: Drama Network: ABC Premiere Date: Sep 25, 2014 Creator: Peter Nowalk Exec.

Sep 25, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic The pilot is ingenious but at moments maybe a little too smart for its own good. Sep 25, 2014 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Davis is such a phenomenal actress that it's tempting and easy to say that she's better than the material she's given here, but hopefully she can elevate the show around to her level. Sep 24, 2014 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Murder jumps around a lot, to the point where it's perhaps too much. Sep 24, 2014 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Davis is a marvel. She is guilty of being fabulous, and fabulous goes a long way these days. Sep 23, 2014 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic The pilot is nerve-wrackingly frantic, but if anyone can make this flaming Paper Chase exciting, it's Lady Rhimes-a-lot. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic Is How to Get Away With Murder a scam? Sure. Addictive. Definitely and with a Viola Davis dedicated to the cause. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 16, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) If you care about law -- or even complex characters -- this isn't the show for you. Filled with more twists than a bowl of fusilli... a blithely shameless romp whose plotting wants to get away with murder, too. Jul 13, 2017 | Full Review… John Powers Vogue With its quick-paced nature and multiple twists and reveals, we're left wondering if this new series will become our next Scandal-like obsession. Mar 7, 2017 | Full Review… Patricia Garcia Vogue The filmmakers (some Grey's alum) have given us another winning factor: characters to either identify with or like. Ms. Davis, certainly delivers a quality performance. Sep 25, 2014 | Full Review… Darwyn Carson leonardmaltin.com View All Critic Reviews (56) Audience Reviews for How to Get Away With Murder: Season 1 how can i download the whole season one with all the episodes? Jeswin F I will warn you, once you start watching this you will not be able to stop! Great acting and the best cliff hangers I have seen. You have to suspend reality a bit with the story line and how much crazy stuff happens but if you accept that you really will enjoy this show. Emma G Maybe the worst tv show I have ever watched!!! Dimitra K BY FAR the best show on television at this time Completely original and dramatic. Shonda completely Pulls viewers in with her strong interpretation of what getting swindled up in a murder can do to you. Not to mention Viola Davis is absolutely outstanding In her role. Along with other newcoming actors who Have shown their chops. I honestly hope this show never ends. Sister R Awful. Repetitive, repetitively sensationalistic and repetitively titillating codswollop with plot holes so enormous you could sail a supertanker through them. All the characters are moral imbecils. Dan C Hard to get into but DON'T give up it gets very addictive! I made it to season 4 I'm gutted It's over. Roll on season 5 Miss%20 W The best murder thriller drama ever. This is my favorite new show of 2014. The screenplays and storylines are fantastic. The cast all give stupendous performances especially Viola Davis, Jack Falahee, Carla Souza, Alfred Enoch, Katie Findlay, Liza Weil, Aja Naomi King, and Billy Brown. Noah M How to Get Away From Murder: Season 1 is created by Peter Nowalk, and it stars Viola Davis, Billy Brown, Alfred Enoch, Jack Falahee, Katie Findlay, and Aja Naomi King in a legal drama mystery about a group of college students that help out with Annalise Keating's (Viola Davis) court victims, while, a few months after this, dealing with a body that they murdered and try to get away from murder. The premise alone got me interested from a class that is being taught of getting away with it, and I left it on my Netflix list, but I haven't caught on of seeing it. What got me into watching it however, was my best friend who recommended on seeing this, which is quite rare for her to do that. So for a few days, I watched the season, and I can say that with recommendations, it can either get you to hate it, or genuinely be surprising, and this is a surprise. The acting from the college students is great, not one weak link there, and Viola Davis is magnificent here as you can see in the way she acts that the character has a lot of experience in what she's doing, and she doesn't mess around with it, while making us want to know a lot about her character. We get to know the group too with a good amount of information, and I did find the mystery plot to be an interesting one. The twists I thought were well done, and I really had no idea about where it's going. The only issue that I can think of, is that while a few court episodes were interesting and I understand why they use it, but at times, I wanted to see more of the story about how they are getting rid of a body, and that it was a bit repetitive to say. So with How to Get Away From Murder: Season 1, I can say that I was grateful of seeing this season after my best friend tells me to go see it, and it made me a fan of the show already. Brandon W Feels to much like scandal, but is amazing otherwise joseph h A promising first three episodes, then got bad. But Viola Davis is outstanding, Alfred Enoch's performance is outstanding but frustratingly wasted, and their characters are interesting enough.
