What do you think? Do you like the How to Get Away with Murder TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love the show but you have to be a detective with a watchful eye!
Very strong show! … still love it! … Not for children… appropriate time. It touches a strong topic, infidelity…. so common nowadays … and ignored…. First show It gives a different perspective … infidelity, b***, hypocrisy, liars, hidden abuse, perversion to desires….. the “taboo” is exposed by bending the law ….
I , too, tried to keep this show in my “must see list.” I really like Viola Davis and had high hopes for the series. After a few episodes, I stopped watching. Maybe, not being in the demographic audience is finally getting to me. The show is very dark and I mean literally , too. It is hard to see all of the details in the scenes. The interactions between the students really is too frenetic and unnecessary in many ways. I like interesting plots with a few subplots but this one is a bit too difficult to follow for… Read more »
I so agree. Even when we have the room as dark as possible, it’s so hard to see! That is the same reason we stopped watching Revolution.
The show is dragging a bit and the cast isn’t all that likable.
I love this show. It always has me waiting for the next episode. I don’t think a love scene is needed in every episode, but I really do love the drama. I want this show to be renewed for another season!
Renew I love this show I can’t wait for the next episode
Way overboard on pushing the gay love scenes, it’s just over the top and doesn’t fit with a common sense story. Hey, we need info, time for Connor to screw someone! Yeah, backstory on characters would go a long way. Too much repetition…
Agree completely. It’s why my wife and I stopped watching it after the second show.
I agree. Too much for me. I quit watching it also. The scenes added nothing to the plot.
This show is great! Viola Davis is fierce. I hope they renew the show
Renewed!!!!!!
Please renew. This show is fun. Viola Davis is great as always.
Renewed!!!!
Show is terrible! Do we really need to teach people how to murder someone when our jails are overflowing?
Our jails are overflowing with real people convicted of minor drug crimes, not with fictional murders.
This show is too divorced from reality for me to suspend my disbelief. In addition, there has been little attempt to develop the characters, so they aren’t holding my interest. All in all, an embarrassment for Viola Davis, who is a great actress.
pretty steady drop in ratings from week to week. watched the pilot, not my cup of tea.
I love this show. Great concept. Great acting. Can’t wait for the next episode !!
Absolutely LOVE this show! Love the mystery and the endless possibilities!
