It’s been three or four years since I’ve posted about How To Get Away With Murder. It was a very difficult show to attempt to recap. But back then there was a procedural case every week so that everything wasn’t about Annalise and the Keating Five. Since then I have watched most if not all of the rest of the seasons. But, a couple of years ago, Shonda Rimes took a $150,000,000 contract with Netflix and somehow I became less interested.
Then Scandal ended. Grey’s Anatomy just became something I watched while working online. Then there is HTGAWM. This is the final season for that show. I just watched the premiere and I realized I must have missed a lot last season. I barely remember what is going on. I found the premiere hard to follow. I am hoping some of you are still watching and explain the show to me. They seem to be worried about having killed someone. Why? They pretty much kill someone every episode. And it looks like the guy who died in the finale last year was killed by the lawyer who wanted, and got, his job.
I have no idea what happened to Laurel and the baby.
What I do know for sure is that whenever Viola Davis is on the screen, I stop what I am doing and give Annalise my full attention. Viola Davis is just brilliant. So even when I don’t recall all the plot lines, it’s worth watching just for her. It looks like she is going to die this season. The question, which of the many possible ways will be the way it finally happens. I am all in on HTGAWM. Are you?
I’m also watching Grey’s. This is season SIXTEEN! And there will be at least one more. Season seventeen is supposed to be the last. I feel like I need to finish off Shondaland.
For those of you who Neflix, you have a lot more Shondaland in your future, but this is where Shonda and I part ways.
So, Is anyone still watching?
I agree. I thought I had watched last season but it’s been so long I didn’t remember details. I watch because of Viola Davis. I’m glad it’s the last season. This show was stretched for too long.
I am still watching, but I have seen the season premiere yet. I plan on watching it when I get home from dinner (Outback Steakhouse for my birthday). It’s always been a show that is difficult to follow if you aren’t paying close enough attention, which is why I record it. I guess I’ll also be parting ways with Shonda because I don’t Netflix. There aren’t enough hours in the day to watch the shows I watch now without adding another option to the list.
Happy Birthday! Have a blooming onion for me!
Thank you! I had the prime rib, a baked potato and the glorious bloomin’ onion. I brought the leftovers home so I’ll think of you when dig in later.
In watching .. it been very difficult thru the years. It’s to much that goes on that has nothing to do with the show. Like the two guys having loud sex. ???? Anyway I very glad this is it. I’m watching now and the last couple years because it automatically records. I dont know if I need more wine or stop drinking the wine. I always rewind this hour long show too many times to count just to understand. Wine one last season.
Great season premiere, kinda bummed that this is the last season but I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
I’ve been watching all along. But it’s really difficult to remember what happened from one season to the next. The one thing I do remember is that Annalise walked outside with Laurel and the baby and when she turned her head they were gone. Did Laurel leave of her own free will or did someone in her family kidnap them? I find it hard to believe that Annalise is really going to die but who knows?
I’m watching! I love this show.
I’m watching Grey’s.
I used to love Grey’s Anatomy, but it became a bit repetitive over the years and I gave up. I haven’t watched any of Shonda’s shows, but I really like the new show Bluff City Law on NBC.
Did Bluff City Law already start? What night is it on? I feel like this fall season is going to have more good shows than we can watch!
I’m struggling to get through the last season of The Affair. It seems 2019 is the year for really bad finale seasons.
It’s on at 10:00 (PDT) Monday’s. Pretty good. I still really like Jimmy Smitts.
I have The Good Doctor and Our Boys at that time. But since Our Boys is on HBO and I save it for the weekend, I can record a later airing. I’ll catch the first episode on Demand.
I shall be awake for a while now because I just had a GIANT COCKROACH fall out of the air vent in my living room ceiling. I took the grate thingy off years ago because it directed the air to the hot sunny window instead of the center of the room where the ceiling fan is. Sadly, it didn’t fit when facing the proper direction and I just left it off. Howe the hell can a roach get into an air conditioner and waddle it’s way down to the one vent that has no covering.
Ghetto life is getting worse by the day. IJS.
Cockroaches are either smart or lucky! But not as lucky as the Keating ? who are left. How can they have not gotten caught. When too many know a secret somebody ALWAYS gets drunk and blows it.
I think they just squash the leaky person. Like a cockroach. 🙂
I haven’t watched yet but, I’m here!! I’ll be back as soon as watch to put in my two cents. I love this show and I’m so happy we can watch the last season along with each other! Btw, our entire apartment building is infested with roaches. There was one in my refrigerator. I’m having nightmares and panic. The good news is that I only go to the kitchen for cold wine… so good for an unplanned diet I guess?
IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR? ARE YOU TRYING TO DRIVE ME OVER THE EDGE?
Here in the ghetto, we have rat season, cockroach season, gnat season, mosquito season, flea season, slug season, lizard season…. I don’t even know when they are anymore. I just know when it happens. But recently we had the DEAD POSSUM APOCALYPSE and the street was full of them. That was new. So I comforted myself by saying, “Well, it’s been an easy summer for the roaches.” (sssssh and rats). It was really a slow season for varmints until THE DEAD POSSUM APOCALPSE. And then that got better and they picked them all up.
Now I have cockroaches falling from my air conditioning vent. I am a lunatic who can barely wash a dish or wipe down a countertop anymore. Yet somehow there were no bugs in my kitchen. Now they are going to rain down from the ceiling? ARGH.
I’m sorry! It’s beyond gross. I get it!! I sent you an email with the highlights of my copious research. My hands are tied because I rent but, you can fix this!!
TT, you are killing me with the DEAD POSSUM APOCALYPSE references! Like cockroaches they are everywhere, you must continue to find a way to reference them in every new topic post from here on out please. ???
As for HTGAWM, I still have the last three eps parked on my DVR from last season. I keep meaning to finish sh but there always seems to be something more interesting to watch. Now that I know this is the last season I might have to buckle down and apply myself.
I hate a fucking cockroach. Worse than a stinkbug, IMO.
When we moved into this house in 1988, we had not one but two types of cockroach. I never knew they came in a variety pack. I tried taking care of the problem myself, but when one fell from the ceiling into the toaster, that was it.
Took a year of professional treatments to eradicate them. I use the plug-in sonic sound critter deterrents now. Easy peasy.
Oh, and all in on Viola Davis. She’s a marvel. So much so, I don’t care about the goofy plot lines anymore.
I am watching and haven’t missed an episode since the beginning yet I cannot remember shit to be able to catch you up. The last few seasons have just been meh because there were too many confusing side stories that seemed unrelated to the main storyline. Maybe it all gets tied together in this final season but it doesn’t seem like it’s going in that direction. I feel like I have so much invested that I must see it through to the end. And of course, because, Viola Davis.
I’m sorry about the ghetto situation but I’m getting skeeved out just reading about your horrors. I’ve been unfortunate to have dealt with the roaches, vermin and a possum incident in my past and I’m having flashbacks! I also had a fucking coyote come on my back porch of fenced yard in the previous house! Thank the baby Jesus our dog wasn’t out at the time. I’m convinced that these are the creatures that will somehow survive the actual apocalypse lol. I just can’t with the roaches and vermin!
I used to watch How to get away…because I love Viola as well. But the script/plot just got away from me and/or maybe they changed it to another night…that always screws with me also. I want to see Bluff City Law because I love Jimmy S. and I live near Memphis.
yeah the cockroach thing is a hard one and falling out of air vents would be hard to take…I have been dealing with brown recluses in my bathrooms and spiders and me have a bad history.
My lab once brought in a stunned possum at 1 am one night (through his doggy door) It was a juvenille so I picked him up by the nail and let him go out in the front yard. Sadly a few weeks later he came back and I found his body in the back yard. My lab is pretty fast and has killed at least 3 squirrels in my back yard so the poor possum should have stayed away when I gave him the chance.
Oh eek! My bff lives on a horse farm way out in Pennsyltucky. She got bit by a brown recluse one on her back, it was nasty, like raw hamburger meat. Get some people with serious chemicals in there pronto!
Boo that your friend got bit. Yay that someone else verifies the damage. People think I am mistaken when I say THERE ARE brown recluses in the US. My friend was bitten by one. Almost died, due to improper treatment.
Oh they exist. Used to catch them on glue traps while renting apt after hurricane damage years ago. Had it sprayed weekly but the place was infested. Dude that lived in apt next door got bitten on back of leg and was hospitalized for it. It looked gnarly. Couldn’t get myself and my kids out of there fast enough! Scary!
I keep thinking I’ll start rewatching HTGAWM then I remember that watching it means I’ll have to pay close attention, and that never goes well. Ekkk! Cockroaches freak me the hell out! If you want to move to Kansas (but let’s be honest-who would want to do that?) you can stay with me and the Unfortunately Named Fluffy in our renovated schoolhouse apartment. We did have black ants but the chalk remedy got rid of them.
SPOILERSTHEORYT!!!! H LOVE HTGAWM!!! And BB, and RH!! I want to watch show w Jimmy Smits too! Ahhh!! But, I think this is going to be her faking her death to get them all out of trouble!! I think she went to FBI, and ratted.. And then had them all touch that fire poker to place reasonable doubt! This is a lawyer show and how can I prove who killed her if all their prints r on murder weapon????? And Bonnie and Frank were w Police, and Nate was w Tegan.. who I think poisoned lawyer, and she ratted herself w that..when she said to cop he was poisoned? He could’ve had a heart attack or stroke, but she said poisoned?? And when Nate got a hold of autopsy, ( idk if Annalise had something to do w it going w body going to London becuz of thinking Tegan was guilty or if London was tryi gto cover and Nate? was on it) thank God he found out it was foul play, and I also think Nate did something to Tegen office when he was there! Also, I think Frank knows where Laurel and Christopher r? He took Christopher! Or something cuz that Key has something to do w her wherabouts? They don’t just give up on Laurel and a baby! Come on!! So, this will all play out all season like usual w the main murder and it will deal w flashbacks and we just have to pay close attention.. and I don’t doubt more ppl w die tho!! What do u think?
I found your comment as hard to follow as the show. I did get your fire poker theory though and that seems to make sense about the fingerprints.
I’m, I think your theory is awesome?!!!!
That was supposed to start with “Ummm”, not I’m lol
We had a possum family living under our deck. We had to trap and shoot them. Pea sized brains so they were hard to kill. First momma possum then baby possum then daddy possum. All of them ugly. It was a nightmare. What caused the apocalypse? That is strange.
Cockroaches are a sure sleep killer. If I know there is one around I will not stop until it is dead. Why are we so scared of them? Nasty little buggers! Best of luck with your varmint/insect seasons.
I stuck with Grey’s Anatomy (used to teach a lot of MD’s & RN’s) c. the first 13-14 years, then drifted away & didn’t miss it. After all that time I figured some characters should have developed more than a smidgen of maturity. Really like Viola Davis, but could never get into HTGAWM, maybe because it wasn’t ideal for multi-tasking. Fly Boy & I are true fans of Madame Secretary, though in real life he truly hates the State Dept. because of his 32 years of dealing with them.
Ditto to all of the above. My husband and I have watched HTGAWM from episode one and the plot lines have gotten super hard to follow; especially with the LONG lag time between seasons!
My hubby does not watch Grey’s but I am HUGE fan ?
And I will not be signing onto to Netflix to follow Ms Shonda.
On a side note, we watched the first episode of Stumptown and it was good!!!
I finally watched, like most of you I forgot so much. But, I do like Jaclyn’s theory about the poker. I also think Annalise hasn’t heard the last from her roommate at rehab. I can’t figure out why in the world she would admit she was complicit in the cover up unless she did it intentionally or made a huge slip up. She’s done both in the past, so it’s really hard to tell. I’m excited to see how they wrap this up though, it’s been one of my favorites since it started.
Glad I’m not the only one who has a hard time keeping up w/HTGAWM. After watching the last 3 episodes of last season, I saved them to rewatch before starting this season so I can hopefully keep up.
Obviously it’s not just me, the show has been hard to follow for the last few seasons. When it first came on I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m going to watch it till the end of the season though but still totally confused, LOL
I’m so here for these recaps woohoo!!!
I remember when this show first started, HTGAWM, and I remember loving it but somewhere either the second or third season it got way too complicated to follow for me to keep track of and I stopped watching it at some point. I don’t even remember anything much about the show really. Wasn’t there a gay character who has sex with another guy in like the first few episodes? I dimly remember that and only because at the time you didn’t see that that ofeton network TV.
