Who's Watching "How To Get Away With Murder"?

PeggyC said:
Well, it's true, I said the same thing last season. Why do I keep watching a show that annoys me??? I haven't a clue.

Me too!  But I've decided there are far too many important things to ponder other than this.  LOL!

And many better shows to focus on! I wonder if I am giving HTGAWM the benefit of the doubt because it's Shonda Rimes? I tend to expect better from her, but this one isn't cutting it yet.

I think that Bonnie eventually killed her father and Annalise defended her which is how their relationship started...anyone else?

Could be! I can't remember the details of her conversation with Annalise about it, but Annalise kept saying she had saved Bonnie, IIRC. But it makes sense.

Oh, wow, YES!  Annalise has something on everybody there, Frank, Bonnie, Nate and the students.  That's why they're so "loyal" to her.

it isn't only that she "has something on everybody," though... I have noticed she seems to have some kind of complex that makes her want to rescue all these people who do crazy, awful things. What's up with that?

OK, Peggy, THIS is why we keep watching:

Believe it or not, the sexy stuff on the show is just one more weird thing about it, IMO. And, sad to say, I totally fail to understand why so many people want to fall into bed with Annalise. I cannot find anything attractive in her. I just can't.

I agree.  All the sex is gratuitous and unappealing.  But Nate's six-pack?  Come on, girlfriend!  LOL!

Well, yeah, but it's just a walk-on role.  A cameo, as it were.

And I'm not necessarily against gratuitous sex. I just find the sex on this show to always be somehow... wrong. Icky. Unattractive. No turn-on at all.

Quite a train wreck finale.

YES indeed. Jeez.

Has anyone started watching again, or has this thread finally crashed and burned?  (I recorded it, plan to watch it today.)

From where I sit, don't bother. I just watched the first episode, and it was an hour of sheer boredom and confusion. And I don't care any more. Final answer.

LOL!  And you were my last holdout!

I just watched it and I didn't think it was boring (yes, they're setting up for the rest of the season), but it was utterly confusing.  I don't know what to think!    

Sorry, I just can't anymore. I took it off my DVR list. Maybe I'll like the next project Shonda has in the works.   

Well we just watched the most recent episode. Yes, it was an almighty mess and trying to sort things out was tough.  

My biggest problem with the show is finding any characters to like. I was actually starting to like Asher and then that kind of hit the skids,  as it were.

Yep, not a single likable character. That is a big problem.

Very true.

Just finished watching the season finale.  Three words:  OH MY GOD!!!!!!!      

Very fine acting by Viola Davis and Cicely Tyson in the finale. 

(And at least with this finale, a lot has been revealed.)

Agreed!  And I think I hear Emmy rumblings for both of them.
