Fall Season – TV Show Review: How To Get Away With Murder

Standard

“How to Get Away with Murder” is one of the top hits this fall season and it’s been my favorite so far. The show is incredbily well written, directed, acted, edited and so on. There’s absolutely nothing about HTGAWM that I didn’t like.

The show follows a law professor (Annalise Keating) and a few of her students who get involved in a murder plot that changes everything. And the show builds this up mixing two times, two moments and two things. With flash-backs and creepy scenes, the show is sure to get your attention. It’s that kind of show that will leave you always waiting for more.

When it comes to the people involved, the show is also a hit. Firstly, the show is produced by Shonda Rhimes, who is best known for Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, two ABC hits. Secondly, it is written (mostly) by Peter Norwalk, who happened to create the show and to have worked with Shonda in both shows I listed!  There’s also a writing credit for Rob Fresco, who wrote 4 episodes of “Touch”, 6 episodes of “Heroes” and more!

There’s no fixed director but, according to IMDB, there have been/will be episodes directed by Randall Zisk (Scandal, The Mentalist, Monk), Michael Offer (Last Resort, Homeland), Mike Listo (Boston Public, Boston Legal, 90210) and Bill D’Elia (Grey’s Anatomy, The Crazy Ones, The West Wing, Chicago Hope).

Next up: Actors! Viola Davies, who is best known as Abileen Clark in “The Help” and was nominated for two oscars, plays Professor Annalise Keating! Her students are played by Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter Series!), Jack Falahee (Charlie McBride in Twisted), Aja Naomi King (Cassandra Kopelson in Emily Owens, M.D.), Matt McGorry (John Bennett in Orange is The New Black) and Karla Souza (Mostly known for Mexican productions).

Besides that, we’ve got Katie Findlay (The Carrie Diaries, The Killing), Charlie Weber (Gacy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Liza Weil (Bunheads, Scandal, Gilmore Girls), Tom Verica (Zodiac) and Billy Brown (Star Trek, Sons of Anarchy).

All in all, “How To Get Away with Murder” is a show you definetly cannot miss. Seriously.
