4/5
Murder is that delicious, bittersweet final bite in ABC's three-course ShondaLand feast. Go to Full Review Marc Snetiker Entertainment Weekly 10/14/2015
I like to think #HTGAWM is a juicy mix of Pretty Little Liars ("We have to hide this body, girls!") and Legally Blonde ("FOUR of you will come join me at my firm!") with just a little hint of A Few Good Men to keep things classy. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club 10/14/2015

It's ambitious, for sure, to pack so much meat into a pilot. And part of what rescues How To Get Away With Murder from collapsing under the weight of its narrative is that it's fun to watch. Go to Full Review Jenna Johnson The Young Folks 10/16/2015
It's got all of the makings of a hit: compelling characters, an intriguing mystery, and immeasurable potential to grow as a series. At this point I can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out. Go to Full Review Lesley Brock Paste Magazine 10/16/2015

The most highly-anticipated fall TV thriller did not disappoint. Go to Full Review Michael Slezak TV Line 10/16/2015
In other words, WTGAWM - Rated W...for WHAT?! Whoa! - is the most delicious thing to come along since the cronut (but with only one-third to one-half the calories, dependent on how much red wine you guzzled during Scandal.) Go to Full Review Read all reviews
