BingeConnect’s Opinion BingeConnect feels that this show is INTENSE. Like the vibes coming of Annalise are super badass and she is an absolute inspiration. The plot and cases touch on sensitive issues and when watched late at night certain episodes will freak you out. Super great show BingeConnect recommends. Resources for Fans:

Quotes from Critics
Entertainment Weekly
“How to Get Away With Murder begins with an actual murder--a group of hyper-competitive law students are fighting over what to do with the body--before it flashes back to their first day in Keating's class, quickly establishing each character before discrediting our first impressions.... Thanks to Davis' powerfully layered performance, it's impossible to read Keating.”
Washington Post
“Davis is overqualified for the material, and, yet, like Kerry Washington before her, she brings an added dimension to the part of an intimidating yet vulnerable woman. Meanwhile, through the hammy uses of flash-forwarding, it’s barely any time at all before Annalise’s ambitious students are tasked with covering up their own homicidal tendencies.”
New York Post
“How to Get Away with Murder is no “Good Wife” in the sophistication (or writing) departments, and when key turning points in the case involve witnesses who are color blind, you just want to Skype with Jessica Fletcher from “Murder, She Wrote” to wrap this one up.”
