TV Series Review: How To Get Away With Murder

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.

Hello readers,

I am here today to reviewed a latest legal drama television series, How To Get Away With Murder. I decided to watch the pilot episode today cause I am running out of television series to watched and also I heard about this series which I am curious what it is about.

How To Get Away With Murder is a television series about a law professor who decided to get students from her class to show their ability to handle the case about a woman, a man and the aspirin. I thought this series was about how a professor and students worked together to handle cases in courtroom but there is a bigger picture throughout the series.

In the opening of the pilot episode, the students were seen carrying out an unknown body and were arguing about the consequences of disposing of a body. Since the students were uncertained about their decision, one of the students decided to use the coin and flipped for the right decision. The scene soon showed a '3 months later' sequence where the students attended a class taught by Professor Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and she introduced the class which she like to called it, How To Get Away With Murder.

Viola Davis' performance as Professor Annalise Keating was impressive, although I am new to watching her acting. She portrayed the character as a tough woman who has seen many courtroom cases and yet at the same time, portrayed a character who is under pressure by marriage. The students' cast are not too bad, although I don't really remember them except for a few students. The plot of How To Get Away With Murder has many twists and as the pilot episode goes, there are many hints which may get you shocking. There are a few dirty tricks in the episode as the professor and students try to win the case. An example of dirty tricks is when student Connor (Jack Falahee) had sex with an I.T. nerd, just to get the evidence to help the case.

How To Get Away With Murder is a series which featured law in a twisted way and yet giving suspenseful hints throughout the pilot episode and maybe even the whole Season 1 of the series. Go watched the pilot episode and you will understand the review I wrote!

Ratings: 7/10

P.S. The series was created by executive producers of Scandal. I have to say both series' lead character are quite similar.
