Description: A group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defense professor become involved in a twisted murder plit that promises to change the course of their lives.
Review: The series is divided in two parts. The first part is the new cases criminal defense lawyer Annalise Keating and her two assistants Frank and Bonnie work on. Her office is set in het house, where she lives with her husband Sam. Annalise also teaches at a law school, with a class she calls ‘how to get away with murder’. Five students are privileged to work with her: Connor Walsh, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone, Laurel Castillo and Wes Gibbons.
The second part is the flashforwards that return in each episode, were we see these students who supposedly committed a crime and are trying to cover it up. In this season there is also one red thread, which is the case of the murdered student Lila Stangard.
In the 9th episode we find out what the crime is and after that, the rest of the season focuses on the aftermath and all the consequences this crime has for each of the individuals involved. And instead of flashforwards, we get flashbacks to tie all the loose ends together.
Each episode is captivating, even after episode 9. Viola Davis plays Annalise Keating and she is the strongest asset in this show. She carries it and is the star of the show. Her students, so far, I only sympathize with Laurel. She is the only one I actually like and who I feel has a conscience.
I will start season 2, just to see where the series is headed.
