Mysteries arise that test everyone's limits and reveal dark truths
."
I tend to always ask people to recommend me new shows to watch; something interesting, thrilling and edgy. A few weeks back a friend of mine told me that show is a must watch, but then I went and started asking people to tell me about something that would ease the pain of waiting for Season 7 of Game of Thrones; it’s a very tortures, long wait you guys; practically everyone recommended How to Get Away with Murder.

So, as the very curious person I tend to be, I decided to pull myself together and see what all the fuss is about; and holy crap I can’t stop watching; I started it two weeks ago and now I’m starting season 3. It’s crazy; and here’s why:

It starts with an insane flash-forward
Right when you press the play button on the very first episode, a roller-coaster jump starts to an insane scene in the middle of the season. It makes it very much impossible to stop now that you’ve began.

Mysterious characters
The story revolves around 7 main characters; ones that will definitely haunt your thoughts. They’re all extremely tough, forceful and very relatable. None is like the other and their stories are revealed bit by bit throughout the episodes and at this point I still don’t completely get them.

Fast paced
If you think it’s just boring lawyer-ing stuff, well you’re very wrong my friend. Each season is 15 crazy episodes; things evolve and spiral so fast. No time to rest and at some point you’ll find yourself short of breath with how insane things are happening.

Plot twists
If you think that you’re smart enough to figure out the plot from the few first episodes; you need to think again because Annalise will definitely make you feel stupid.

Criminal thinking 101
Throughout the show, you start understanding how the law works; I can’t help myself but think of this Cassandra Clare quote “The Law is Hard but It is the Law”. However, with Annalise thinks are extremely unpredictable. Nothing stops this woman; losing is not even in her vocabulary. Each episode has a new different case and the more you watch the more of a lawyer you become.

Don’t postpone; I advice to rip the band-aid, buckle up as soon as possible and get on this insane ride; it is SO worth it.
