So happy about this....

Also, it was reported today that the show nabbed the biggest Premiere Week (when you factor in the Live + 3 day ratings)!

I hear ya Toups but then again would she jump at trying to hug this man if she felt like that?

[ThePrinceOfSunspear]

I hope they don't go there with that innocent young boy and the teacher. That would be scandalous lol. Save that mess for Season 4

[Mr. Vixen]

No you did not just say Season 4.

[ThePrinceOfSunspear]

Lol with these kinda ratings and Shonda's track record you already know she planning on it! Unless something completely disastrous occurs in S2 this has the potential to become a long running series for ABC.

[Mr. Vixen]

How is it that Viola's wig be looking so good from the front but crooked as hell from the back? It looks like her real hair is just hanging out.

Creepy gay sex undertones.

I wonder who Viola is gonna get eaten by today?

I hear they're planning this for season 8!

What an eppy! Loved every second of it. Of course we will see the murdering hubby back, and I can't be happier. Viola was earning every penny last night. I freaking love this woman! With the exception of Wes, none of these students hold my attention. Thank goodness for powerhouse V to offset it. Queen V and Tom Verica produced some damn good heat! Gonna watch this eppy at least 5 times over the wet dreary weekend [and then go see The Equalizer again]

Viola Davis has pretty much already locked up an Emmy nod on #HTGAWM http://huff.to/YZDRpd

11.8 Total Viewers and 3.2 Demo.....thats down from 14 million and 3.9 demo from last week.

This is a strong show with an interesting premise, but it's already becoming pretty formulaic. The way this episode was written is the same way the pilot was written. It's becoming a procedural show. Set up the case of the week, do something illegal to find evidence to discredit a witness, have the client lie about something they did in the past to put them in a sticky place, add in a compromising sex scene, have a flashback to a murder, have Viola Davis' character do something unsavory to get the client acquitted, close the show with a cliff hanger.

I liked the pilot, but the second episode was just more of the same.

[YRBB]

Agreed! It was a complete retread and I found my interest nosediving.

These are only overnights but the show dropped from a 9.3 rating to a 7.7 rating.....all shows tend to drop during the 2nd and 3rd week.....

I havent seen yesterdays show but everyone is saying the same thing...same old rehash.....So I am assuming they are still on the same murder....they should have done a murder mystery per week.....

I thought yesterday's eppy was twice as good as the premiere.
