How to Get Away with Murder

In the first season of How to Get Away with Murder, each episode opened with a section relating to college student Lila's murder. At first it created interest and maintained suspense as the mystery went unsolved. At first it appeared to be an interesting and unique chronological setup. Soon though, it became tiring and old. The murderer's reveal in the finale felt abrupt and sloppy.

In the second season, though, all of the show's flaws not only persisted, but became even more annoying. The plots gradually became less interesting as well. The execution was poor and the organization distasteful. I do not fear vulgarity in the least, but How to Get Away with Murder has become all crime and no substance. It's a mess of murder, court cases, and social conflicts. Overall a disappointing watch.
