How To Get Away With Murder (REVIEW)

 

I just finished watching "How To Get Away With Murder". I spent the last two days going crazy over this TV show and I finally finished the first season. Many of you may say that my game is too weak, like "Did you watch a season in two days?? Such a greenhorn!". 

Well, I'm a newbie in this TV series world and I like to think that I'm too busy doing other stuff to watch fifteen episodes in one go. 

Anyway, How to Get Away With Murder. The most practical module I've ever seen in my life. Thank God I'm not a law student. 

The show is about five law students, Wes Gibbins, Connor Walsh, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone, Laurel Castillo, chosen by the lecturer and lawyer Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) to be part of her team among with Bonnie Winterbottom (Liza Weil) and Fran DelFino (Charlie Weber). 

Among all the background stories that are all the cases that Prof. Keating works on with her team, there is the main story, the murder of one of the students of the Middleton University, Lila Stangard, and subsequently the murder of her alleged lover, professor at the same university and no other than Annalise Keating's husband Sam Keating. And all of the students will be unexpectedly involved in it.

HTGAWM (this is how it abbreviated, it is easier to call it with its full name though) really caught me. I listened spellbound to Viola Davis' harangues in court and I admire her, it doesn't matter how many bad things she did in her life. I've always wanted to be able to argue like she does. Always ready to answer properly to the question. 


It is also full of plot twists. A few of them are quite obvious, other not. I didn't see many things coming in this show and I'm not here to spoil everything, but wow. Really, wow.

So, at first, it might look like a show about a bunch of spoilt, rich and extremely gorgeous law students learning how to do their job, but it is not. 

Besides, you don't want to miss Mr. Alfred Enoch AKA Dean Thomas from Harry Potter playing the leading role. He grew up and he did it really well.

Italy's 'Tangentopoli' Scandal - 1992.

Image
“1992”.  For many of you it’s just a number, or more likely, a year. What happened? Probably you’re thinking about the separation of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, or that John Major was Prime Minister, or even Britain’s infamous currency crash. But during 1992, in another EU nation, a crisis was brewing - the year when Italy became aware of the corruption inside her political world and, moreover, the year when the biggest political scandal in history came to light. On the left: Antonio Di Pietro, Gherardo Colombo and Francesco Saverio Borrelli. “ Mani Pulite ” (literally “clean hands”), better known as Tangentopoli, was an investigation that, before it was over, would see many influential members of Italy’s political and industrial spheres imprisoned for the first (and not the last) time.  Everything started on the 17th of February, when Antonio Di Pietro, the prosecutor who started the investigations, arrested Mario Chiesa, a member of the PSI (Italian Socialist

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop.

The Hobbit: The End of an Era.

(Please, read this post listening to this song . Thanks.) It always happen. It's inevitable. Everything has a beginning and an end. I will not ever get used to it. I will never be ready to the end of a saga. But here I am. Talking about the last chapter of " The Hobbit ".  I admit I was really skeptical when I watched for the first time " The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ". I thought it was a way to make more money and make happy the "Lord of The Rings" fans. But then I changed my mind.  I totally loved these films: I loved Bilbo, Gandalf the Grey, Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarfs. I loved how they popped up at Baggins' house. I loved how Bilbo changed through the movies.  I even loved Thranduil. I pitied Legolas because of his love for Tauriel. And I cried for the impossible love between Tauriel and Kìli (I know it's not in the book but I want to thank Peter Jackson for that).  I'm sad for Smaug. People talked a lot about
