Coming this fall on ABC is drama How to Get Away with Murder from Shonda Rhimes's Shondaland and created by Peter Nowalk.
It's the campus bonfire night, and while everyone is busy with the festivities, in the woods, four students are fighting what to do with the "body". When they can't agree on the same thing, they decide to do a coin toss to make a decision. The episode then flashes back to four months earlier .
It's the first day of classes at Middleton Law School. As the class settles down, professor of Criminal Law 100, Annalise Keating, announces to the class they will be helping her with a real case. She says that she will be picking 4 students to work in her firm one of which well get the trophy which will exempt them from any of her exams when handed in. This ensue a battle among the students in an attempt to outperform one another.
The scenes flashback and forward throughout the episode to show us the ongoings of the night of the murder and the case the students are helping with. The identity of the person who is killed, which is revealed later in the episode, left me surprised as it was not who I was expecting. Also featured throughout the episode is the investigation of a missing student Lila Stangard.
The shows is scandalous, sexy and salacious as can be seen in the pilot. Voila Davis proves to be an excellent lead for the series and the supporting characters are also fairly interesting. Not much is revealed about the characters in the pilot, but I am sure that will be seen as the show progresses. The shows has all the markings of a potential hit for ABC.
How to Get Away with Murder airs this fall on Thursdays 10/9c on ABC. Watch the promo and sneak peek below.
So ABC decieded to give you their pilots as well. I'm glad! Thanks for the short preview, I just hope Katie Findlay isn't the one to get dead right away.
ReplyDeleteThis show has guilty pleasure written all over it. Lisa Weil would've been enough for me, we saw what Shoda can do with her in 1 PP episode.
Lisa Weil isn't too heavily featured in the pilot episode.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the preview. I'm looking forward to this show. Nice to hear you liked it. : )
ReplyDeleteI assumed that withe her not getting a lot of space in the promos, but I meant overall I look forward to my weekly doze of Lisa.
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with this...
ReplyDeleteI'm even more excited about this drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey you stole my name haha.
ReplyDeleteI did not there as another Ben. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI know, I was kidding. :)
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this is a miniseries! It hasall the ingredients of aweomnes if they close the mystery at the end of the season...
ReplyDeleteIt's not. It's a limited series with each season having lesser number of episode than usual fall shows. The first season consists of 16 episodes.
ReplyDeleteBut by the end of the season we'll know who the body is and what happened, right?
ReplyDeleteAs I said in the preview, we find out whose body it is in the pilot. I am assuming season 1 will end in some kinda of closure, so the details of the murder should be revealed by then.
ReplyDeleteBut next season it will be another storyline? If they are just going to drag this into two/three/four seasons I may just skip it alltogether.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea about that, sorry.
ReplyDeleteWait one of the characters shown in the promos are the dead body?
ReplyDeleteThanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe big question, what will happen in the remaining 15 episodes?
ReplyDeletemy classmate's aunt makes $68 every hour on the
ReplyDeletecomputer . She has been fired for 7 months but last month her paycheck was
$15495 just working on the computer for a few hours. visit the site Cashfig.COM
It is! Dean Thomas!
ReplyDeleteSuper excited about this one!
ReplyDeleteI'll check it out and glad its only 16 episodes so far. With Shondra bringing in over 300 million for ABC i'm sure it will increase to 22 eps next year unless this is a complete flop..
ReplyDeleteFrom what I heard, it was a 16 episode order because of Volia Davis's availability.
ReplyDeleteIs the guy sleeping for evidence gay or one of those type of characters that will sleep with whoever to get ahead?
ReplyDeleteSomeone give me this pilot. I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm interested in as well!
ReplyDeleteThe producers already said that it'll probably be another mystery for season 2, maybe it'll be a new one each season. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/how-get-away-murder-boss-718719
ReplyDeleteMurder deatails like why, how, if anybody finds out, probably Annalise will defend the students; also the affair the professor has, the students career, new case, etc... Shonda, Peter and Betsy know how to add more and intriguing storylines
ReplyDeletethe show's creator Pete nowalk confirmed that the Conner character is indeed gay and not just trying to get evidence :) hope this helped!
ReplyDeleteGreat! now I'm looking forward to it! I was affraid they would pull a season 1 of The Killing...
ReplyDeleteWhat would you do if her character dies on the pilot? lol
ReplyDeleteI haen't seen The Killin but yes, I know what you mean, they won't drag too long the first murder :)
ReplyDeletehahahah that would be quite the turn off for me. But I like the rest of the cast so I'll stick for them.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. If I was you I would be so mad..
ReplyDeleteIf I tell you every name will you tell me if they die or if they don't?? Hahahahah
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be like Scandal where the first season has limited episode but I know this show has more but I think it could have a 22 episode second season.
