Been watching How to Get Away With Murder with Jenn

[conuly]

And that first season is totally unnecessary. I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but they're not real people. They're TV characters, and I think I know enough of TV law to say that any decent lawyer could make sure they never went to prison for murder - if it even went to trial.

I can think of a few ways to shape the truth a little, but even if they just went in there blind and strictly honest, let's look at the facts:

he's absolutely a murderer

he absolutely tried to kill Rebecca in front of multiple witnesses

his death still was an accident

Now, I probably would've said that Rebecca went there to confront him rather than to hack his laptop, and I would've at least implied that the gang was there for legitimate work/study purposes rather than shenanigans, but still - it's not the accidental death due to self-defense that's gonna get them, it's their amateur-hour attempts at a cover-up.

If they'd all just agreed on a version of the truth that kept everybody's noses clean (except Sam, because he's a murderer) and then stuck to that story, they'd've been in the clear.

Let's be honest, we were all watching for the queer and POC rep, not for the plot.

SO many women judges and lawyers. Like, *so* many.

The title of this show makes me laugh - it's just so prosaic.
There's another one that I started watching 'Mary Kills people" - which is in the same vein

It's a deeply, deeply ridiculous & over the top show. I think I made it a bit into s2 before it wore thin for me, which isn't so bad.

Ridiculous isn't half the word.
