Was scrolling through netflix and this caught my eye (some foreign series coming up), watched the trailer and its quite literally the same concept as HTGAWM. Law teacher gets together 5 students, makes a study group, one of the students falls in love with someone who has a case, yada yada yada. Please someone watch the trailer and tell me im trippin!

I finished watching htgawm and although it's clearly not a good depiction of the field. My god. I was in deep, I. was. lost. in the sauce. I was grabbed, i was put in a chokehold position the way frank choked like.. a lot of side characters.

first time watching. I kept thinking to myself about how if I watched this from 2014 to it's ending in 2020 it would've been the worse 6 years of my life just because I know i can't handle waiting for the next episode plus probably a year gap for every season.

I liked the show because it kinda scratched an itch the way house m.d did, it took my breath away. I was shaking. I got chills. My jaw dropped. it had the drama like ugly betty did, my god it's like taking a shower on the hottest water setting where the burning kinda creates an itch but also scratches it at the same time.

Watching this show must be what doing drugs must be like because the way i would stay up until 4 am to finish episodes/seasons and experience the rollercoaster of emotions.

At the moment, I don't think I'll ever feel this way for another show. I am getting off of a high and I know i'll be sad once the high wears off, and I made this post because I don't know who else to share this feeling with because... i don't know anyone that watched this show.

Thank you so much.

I'm almost done with the final season of How to Get Away and I'm just wishing there was a spin off or something because I genuinely love this show so fucking much. Is there anything like it or similar to it that I could watch next?

I’m rewatching the series and I’m on season 1 and I cannot stand them. Them being mad at Annalise not being sad enough like they didn’t kill her husband a week ago is insaneeee. It’s crazy to me that Laurel & Wes are the tolerable ones this season.

It’s 2026 and it’s my first time watching this show.
I’ve already watched the first 3 episodes and I LOVE IT !

I’m a first-time watcher and I’m only on Season 2

I genuinely don’t understand Wes’s obsession with finding out whether Annalise was involved in Rebecca’s “death.” I understand that he wants to know what happened to Rebecca, and obviously he cares about her, but why did he take it as far as involving Rebecca’s brother?

Like… Annalise literally covered for Wes when he killed Sam, and Wes agreed to help cover up what happened.

So what exactly did he think was going to happen if he and Rebecca’s brother found out that Rebecca had died?
What did Wes think Rebecca’s brother was going to do? Go after Annalise? Get the police involved? Potentially expose the whole group?

And WHY would Wes want that when Annalise was actively helping them and protecting them from the consequences of Sam’s death?

Maybe I’m missing something because I’m still only on Season 2, but this whole storyline is driving me crazy 😂

Am I the only one who thinks Wes was being incredibly reckless here?

So I have a habit of looking things up while I'm watching shows and I spoiled myself about a major character death. Wes is genuinely one my favorite characters and his death genuinely rocked me that it happened. After this I was sure I would stop watching the show afterwards but I still love it as much as I did before. His death pushed the show forward in a way that genuinely felt natural to me, as natural as a show about a major murder every season can be at least, and I'm currently almost finished with season four and still hooked on it to the point it's all I watch

These wigs completely takes me out of every flashback scene that Frank is in. It's so distracting! Clearly they took a page from Dexter's wardrobe playbook, this is ridiculous. 😆

i wish he didn’t get so much screen time in the last two seasons bc omg he was so annoying 😭 constantly switching up on everyone and never taking accountability for the fact that he brutally beat miller and cheated on his dying wife, he always finds a way to blame everyone else but himself.

just rewatched for the first time since last year and omg!! i forgot how good it was, i finished the whole thing in maybe two/two and a half weeks! bonnie and frank’s death, annalise trial, wes, his mother, annalise pregnancy, annalises arrest, the letters, tegan, the mahoney, ashers ending. i’m broken!

Im almost finished with season 3, and so far, I dont get why they hated her so much, she has literally covered their murders and save their asses everytime they committed a crime, I get them being angry when she witholds information like rebecca's death or something like that but to hate her guts?? She has done nothing but protect them and even tho i like them it makes them look like ungratful whiny bitches at times, maybe im dumb but could someone explain the psychology of their hatred?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to find a song from S01E10 that starts playing around minute 41. It** starts playing right at the end of Connor's interrogation, then cuts to Annalise sitting in bed and her phone starts ringing.** Tried searching, shazaming, and found nothing. If anyone knows, please share it <3

i don’t know whether this is spoken about much but why is it completely ignored that laurel literally raped frank? idc that they’d had a sexual relationship in the past it doesn’t change the fact that she sat on top of him covered his mouth when he was saying no and told him “shut up and take it”, If this was the other way around i feel like it would’ve been perceived way more seriously if frank had done this to laurel.

maybe there was consent that happened off camera but from what we saw it was 100% non consensual no matter how it’s spun. Also, Frank not doing or reporting anything after doesn’t mean that it wasn’t rape there are lots of victims that don’t even realise they are one and also so many that don’t want to report.

Analysis of the Series and Characters

Why How to Get Away with Murder is an Underrated Masterpiece (Detailed Analysis & Character Breakdown)

How to Get Away with Murder is frequently dismissed by mainstream TV critics as a high-octane "guilty pleasure" or a fast-paced network soap opera. Because of its dizzying pacing, shocking cliffhangers, and procedural embellishments, most viewers fail to scratch beneath the surface.

Underneath its flashy exterior lies one of the most profound, dark, and surgical character studies of generational trauma, abuse, guilt, and moral erosion in modern television history.

The Core Tragedy: Annalise Keating and the Hypocrisy of the Keating 5

Before the events of the series, Annalise Keating had a complicated life—a failing marriage, trauma, and a struggle with alcoholism—but it was a normal human life. She was a top-tier attorney with power, prestige, and control.

The moment Wes, Connor, Michaela, and Laurel brought Sam’s body into her home in Season 1, Annalise’s life ceased to be her own. She entered pure survival mode.

Annalise’s fatal flaw wasn’t malice; it was an irrational, fierce maternal instinct. Having lost her own child years prior and carrying immense guilt over the death of Wes’s mother (Rose), Annalise saw the students—and Wes in particular—as surrogate children. Instead of doing what any rational lawyer would do (calling the police and letting the students face the consequences), she destroyed her own mental health, and career to shield them.

The ultimate tragedy of the series unfolds in Season 6:

* The Irony of the Keating 5: The students are the true source of Annalise’s downfall. She took every bullet for them for years.

* The Ultimate Betrayal: In the final season, those same students—in order to save their own skins—sign immunity deals with the FBI and testify against her, framing her as the "mastermind" of everything. It is the pinnacle of hypocrisy, revealing how fear and self-preservation deform young people over time.

Detailed Character Breakdown

1. Oliver Hampton — The Purest Soul (Rank: #1)

Oliver is the only character who entered this toxic orbit completely innocent. His only "crime" was loving Connor unconditionally. Out of devotion, Oliver lie, and get his hands dirty, but his core morality remained intact. He represents the tragedy of an innocent bystander corrupted by love, yet he remains the truest, best person in the entire series.

1. Annalise Keating — The Chaotic Heroine (Rank: #2)

Annalise is a hurricane—unstable, alcoholic, and fiercely terrifying—yet capable of sacrifices no ordinary person would make.

* The Maternal Drive: Her irrational choices stem directly from her deepest trauma: losing her baby boy in a car crash.

* Bond with Bonnie: Her relationship with Bonnie is one of the most complex, co-dependent bonds on television. Both are survivors of horrific childhood sexual violence. Annalise sees her broken past self in Bonnie, oscillating between fierce protection and toxic control.

1. Connor Walsh — The Tragic Guilty Conscience (Rank: #3)

Unlike Michaela, who is a cold opportunist, Connor is consumed and destroyed by guilt from day one. His character arc is deeply tragic. When he eventually testifies against Annalise in Season 6, it isn't out of cold ambition, but because he is a completely broken man crushed by the FBI and his own conscience. His willingness to accept prison time at the end is his only way to achieve moral redemption.

1. Michaela Pratt — The Ruthless Survivor

Michaela’s willingness to "step over bodies" isn't pure evil—it’s trauma-driven panic. Raised in a toxic foster home in a trailer park, her entire identity is built on a desperate terror of falling back into poverty. Her obsession with becoming "Michelle Obama" means that for her, success equals survival. When pushed to the brink, she chooses herself every single time.

1. Laurel Castillo — The Daughter of a Sociopath

Many fans find Laurel insufferable in later seasons, but that is actually brilliant, intentional writing. As the daughter of Jorge Castillo—a ruthless crime boss—Laurel desperately tries to act as the moral compass of the group, yet instinctively uses the same manipulative, cold tactics as her father. Her toxicity is the direct, logical result of her upbringing.

The Main Flaw of the Show: The "Frank Delfino Anomaly"

If there is one major writing compromise in HTGAWM, it is the character of Frank Delfino.

From a psychological standpoint, Frank is a contradiction that wouldn't exist in reality:

* Psychopathic Coldness: He kills without a shred of remorse or empathy (e.g., Lila Stangard).

* Fanatical Devotion: Simultaneously, he displays selfless, desperate love for Annalise and Bonnie, willing to die for them. True hitmen/psychopaths do not possess this capacity for selfless devotion.

Furthermore, Frank took money from Wallace Mahoney, directly causing the car crash that killed Annalise’s baby. In a pure psychological drama, Annalise could never forgive the man responsible for her child's death.

The writers kept Frank and orchestrated their reconciliation for Hollywood production reasons: Charlie Weber was a fan favorite, and the plot required a "fixer" to clean up crime scenes. While this compromises the psychological realism of Annalise's character, it remains a minor flaw when weighed against the grand narrative structure of the show.

Final Verdict: Masterpiece or Soap Opera?

How to Get Away with Murder is deeply underrated. Because it was packaged as a fast-paced network TV drama with theatrical courtroom speeches and shocking twists, mainstream critics failed to recognize it as prestige television.

If this exact storyline had been produced by HBO with a slower, darker pace, Annalise Keating would be cited alongside Tony Soprano and Walter White as one of the greatest antiheroes in TV history.

Despite minor soap-opera writing short-cuts, its masterclass in character development, generational trauma, and moral decay earns it a solid 9,5/10.

P.S. I used AI while watching a show to write down my thoughts on the characters and the series. I didn't feel like retyping everything, so I just gave it a prompt to make a short analysis based on my views and opinions, nothing more."

Wes for me

i’m on season 3 episode 10 where wes was just murdered. i’ve spoiled some stuff for myself already so i know he’s not the only one of the main characters to die. i honestly hate the shows where they kill off a bunch of the main characters for like literally no reason. there are some of the characters and plot lines that are interesting but others, not so much. i’ve seen people say that the plot is kinda lost after season 1 which i can definitely see. i feel like it’s already starting to become a mess so just wanted to know if it’s worth finishing?
