Synopsis – A group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defense professor become involved in a twisted murder plot that promises to change the course of their lives.
Episode – S01E01 “Pilot”
My Take – Compared to the long list of mystery/police procedural shows already running on TV, How to Get Away with Murder, well based on the pilot, seems to have a new definitive spin by portraying the legal procedures in the court! Now before I talk more about the premiere, let me warn you, their are potential spoilers ahead! Most crime shows are all about justice, which is great but sometimes it’s nice to see the opposite side of things. Plus the shifting between two timelines makes things exciting!! There’s so many dynamic characters in this show, it adds interest. Viola Davis is amazing in this. She’s such a strong actress and her acting is very believable and on point. I find this show, sexy, interesting and very dramatic. It’s the perfect mix! I say give it a watch or wait for the season to get over, nonetheless this show seems to have started on a strong note!
