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.

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....

10 curiosities you have to know about The Avengers: Age of Ultron

Are you excited to watch Marvel's new movie "Avengers: Age of Ultron"? Well, me too. I waited for so long and finally the day is close! Before watching it, here are 10 curiosities you must know about the Behind-the-Scenes. 1) To avoid Scarlett Johansson's baby bump being seen, the production casted three stand-ins of the beautiful actress. It confounded people on set, especially Chris Evans, who confused one of the doubles with his long-time friend. 2) Tony Stark will be armoured in his Mark XLIII , the new version of the Mark 42 . What are the differences? Exchangeable face, LED light-up eyes, arc reactor and a new range of repulsors. 3) James Spader, who will play Ultron, was chosen for this role thanks to his "calming and hypnotic voice". 4) In Seoul, to film the most extreme and special scenes, they used drones and remote control cars. 5) The costumes used in the film were created by the sports clothing line Unde...

You've Got Mail

Hello, people! I already failed my purpose of writing every day, but here I am. Last night I watched "You've Got Mail", a film from 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I already watched it a few years ago, but yesterday I looked at it with different eyes. When you get old you look at things in a different way.  It's quite amusing to watch a romantic comedy about two people that never met having a sort of relationship online in 1998. Even better when they talk about virtual sex and stuff like that. It's fun how the film shows how the computer worked at that time, making that weird noise every time they connected to the web. Or when Meg Ryan explains her frustration in waiting for the computer to connects to see her emails. "You've Got Mail" was released 17 years ago, but it is extremely ongoing.  They are two people that apparently never met but know a lot about each other, insomuch to fall in love. But at the same time, th...
