How To Get Away With Murder: Discussion Thread

Viola is everything!

When she told Wes "Don't you leave this house", I almost cried. Annalise falls apart and pulls it back together w/in a matter of seconds and Viola does it effortlessly! Clearly THE best actress on television and we are only left to determine who gets Supporting Actress in a Drama series.

I really don't care if he's the typical bad boy Brian Kinney type or sorta naughty but heart of gold Justin type. His scenes just seemed a little over the top for me. Esp since it's not like it's Showtime or HBO. And there's a huge difference between visual and words. The lady said she simply wouldn't be able to walk....I hardly find that as envelope pushing as "he did things with his mouth to my...." or whatever the dead person said. I don't consider Connor an accessory to murder tho. The guy was a weak loser who couldn't handle the consequences and so he made his decision. I don't see why Connor should be held accountable for his actions. Esp since the guy thought he was playing Connor to begin with...

Last episode was pretty good. Liked the case but not sure if I liked how quickly they progressed to Laurel already having feelings for Frank.

Why do people care about this? Honest question - I see that brought up a lot. I don't have a dog in that fight about network vs. cable standards. From an adult viewer's perspective, it's all just TV to me, and the rest is up to the network censors and bean counters to care about. I'd love to see network television push the envelope a lot more when it comes to sex in the same way that foreign TV does; how many times are we subjected to gruesome murders and bloody surgical scenes on shows like CSI or Grey's Anatomy?

TBBT 4.1 Mom 2.7 2.5M 2.7 McCarthys 1.9….CBS

Scandal had a 3.0 Demo…..

​Was hoping for better numbers from the McCarthys…..oh well...

Not sure what the hell this was, but whatever.

I agree. I'm personally more freaked out over Derek Shepperd taking out half a brain on television, Moreover, I don't consider Conner's sex scenes any more overt than any of the others on television. Again it's not Queer As Folk.

you are exaggerating. The show is not tanking and is the second highest rated show on the network. This will be the first renewal ABC will announce since its season is so short.

Wildly overexaggerating at that.

Looking at the demo it's holding steady with Two and a Half Men and Mom (which were both premieres). It's not killing it like The Big Bang Theory and Scandal are, but I wouldn't say tied for third is a horrible position to be in. If it slides down to the 1.9's and lower than I say we have a bit of a problem. Right now it's keeping well with the other shows.

10 PM is a difficult slot.

McGory is cute and it's nice to see a show willing to exploit a man's body that way (and also to know that some guys look better with their clothes on), but those trousers are not flattering. He must not be close to the wardrobe people.

Finally, an episode where the highlighted character is actually developed.. especially one that has gotten less focus. Not only did it shed more light on Asher, but default.. we got some focus on Paris Gellar.. oops I mean Bonnie's character as well as Laurel/Frank's character.

I actually think Wes is miscast and having him be the focus is what is preventing this show from being great. Unlike Olivia Pope, Annalise has moments of weakness but gets down to business right away.

I disagree with pretty much all of this. We knew Asher was a Daddy's boy from the get go. What did we learn about Paris that we didn't know beforehand? That she likes to bang the interns too? Laurel/Frank is more of the same -- that we got from previous episodes. She shouldn't be sleeping with any of them. Olivia is more capable then Annalise to be honest.

The problem is that its dropping every week after its high premiere…..thats not good at all. The ratings haven't leveled off…they keep declining every week.
