How to Get Away with Murder

A sexy, suspense-driven legal thriller about a group of ambitious law students and their brilliant, mysterious criminal defense professor. They become entangled in a murder plot and will shake the entire university and change the course of their lives.
Admittedly there's not a lot to like about any of the characters except the main one. She's tough, hardened and trying y to do right by everyone which is how the whole thing goes south for her. A defense attorney is supposed to protect their clients innocent or guilty, so I think a lot of the bad reviews forget that.
But this is really about everyone makes bad decisions at one point or another. Do we hold someone accountable? Do they hold themselves? There's a consistent theme here and it's about good people do bad things and bad people often convince themselves they're good by being bad.
There's also a lot about how vindictive we can be as a society to the way we treat strong, straight up people and how easily we turn on the people who are the most honest with us and the ones that are most protective of us.
It ends with vindication (ironic how ation v ive changes a meaning so drastically). I think that's what bounces the show from an 8 to a 10. There's something cleansing about the ending being fair in a world we know often is not.
