Last season, How to Get Away with Murder was ABC’s most-watched scripted series which is particularly impressive for a new series. The show had a fantastic debut but ratings dropped quite a bit over the course of the season. Will they keep falling in season two or will they grow? Cancelled or almost guaranteed to be renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
A legal-thriller TV series, How to Get Away with Murder revolves around a brilliant and seductive college professor/defense attorney (Viola Davis) who gets entangled with law students from her class. The rest of the cast includes Billy Brown, Alfred Enoch, Jack Falahee, Katie Findlay, Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, Karla Souza, Charlie Weber, and Liza Weil.

I watched season 1 and I liked it very much . but I never carried on . Now I don’t regret it because the three actors that took the boot were my favs
Oops sorry , wrong show, I was talking about Grey’s anatomy . I never watched HTGAWM
I stopped watching when she made her remarks during the Emmy’s. From reading the comments I’m glad I dumped this show.
