Thoughts on...How to Get Away with Murder

(Or "It's like Lost and Scandal had a baby and Viola Davis is the adopted mother.")

When someone recommends that I check out a show, I tend to mull it over for a while (unless it's like Gurren Lagann or something, then I nose-dive into it). I mean, I've just gotten to the part of Breaking Bad where Walter tries his best to become surpass Gus Fring/Tony Montana and kills Mike and then realizes that he didn't need to. He ultimately did it because feels.

...Power-Tripping Hal?

So, when the blitzkrieg of ads/reviews/Twitter folks (follow me at @JohnthanSpeed, by the way; gotta start updating that thing) suggested demanded I check out the newest Shonda Rhines-influenced show, I reluctantly did so. Viola Davis is a great actress, Shonda Rhines has some good people in her circle with regards to watchable shows, and the ads didn't give away much. So, it had all the makings of either a colossal failure or a dominating success. There will be spoilers, by the way. Many spoilers. So, if you don't want to read them, look away.
