HTGAWM 'It's War' Recap: Yeah, It's About To Go Down

So I can't be the only one that’s been low-key bored with this second half of the season right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. It’s been a while since I’ve written about the show but honestly, there hasn’t been anything to share. At least not until this week’s episode. The Keating 4 have been slandering Annalise ever since she was arrested and now that she’s back home it continues and I’m over it. We still don’t know #WhoKilledWes but at this point, I’m over it and all of the buildup. That was until I realized next week is the season finale and it’s also 2 hours long! That means we’re going to find out everything (we better, or I’ll stop watching) that happened the day that Wes “died”. Let us discuss.

HTGAWM 'Who's Dead' Winter Finale Recap: I'm Still Shook

How To Get Away With Murder finally returns tomorrow and I haven’t been this excited in my life. Now, as I’m sure y’all know, Wes was the one who ended up under the sheet. The question that remains is who killed him before the fire!? Finding out that he was dead is one thing, but finding out that he was dead before he partially burned in Annalise’s house fire a la Two-Face was even crazier!

There are definitely a lot of questions that we need answered ASAP! First one being who blew up Annalise’s house? Was it Frank?  Last week, we thought he'd end up killing himself but he didnt. We didn’t see him as everyone piled into the hospital one by one. Or was it Nate? We saw him go into the house before the fire also. Next question is why did Annalise tell everyone to meet her at the house? Was she planning to light them all up? Cause that’s what it sounds like to me. Next question, is Laurel still pregnant? She was the only other person in the house besides Wes when it went up in flames. All of that smoke inhalation can't be good for her or the baby. Also, we still don’t know who the father of this child is. Next question, was Wes the anonymous source that ratted out Annalise or was there someone else?

Everyone on Twitter was dead af when we all saw that it was Wes. Many people even said that they hoped Wes wasn’t dead and that he had a twin that was instead which I thought was hilarious. I hadn’t thought about it until I learned that the show was coming back last week, the 19^th, that’s when I started freaking out again and finding as many theories as I could. But then TGIT got pushed back a week and I had time to chill. I’m very excited to see where this half of the season is going to take us, I know that we’re in for a ride because, at the end of the day, Peter Nowalk is an evil mastermind.

How To Get Away With Murder returns tomorrow at 10pm on ABC.

HTGAWM 'Call It Mother's Intuition' Recap: Guess Who's Back?

Honestly, I don’t know how much longer I can take theorizing about who could possibly be dead. This week’s episode confirmed that it’s time for me to take a break and let the body fall as it may! I can no longer stress myself during the episodes trying to decide who I do/don’t want to be under the sheet. Last week, we found out that Asher was alive, which was fab. ‘Call It Mother’s Intuition’ was the episode that reminded us that the Five were actually all Annalise’s children even though they thought she was trash AF and ruined their lives. Let’s talk about it.

HTGAWM 'Is Somebody Really Dead' Recap: Snitches Will Get Stitches

I don’t think there will be another episode that’ll top the iconic performances from last week. But this week’s episode did take us one step closer to finding out who might be #undertesheet. Honestly, I’m confused about who I think it is, but the confusion comes from a place of me not wanting it to be Connor. ‘Is Somebody Really Dead’ was that episode that reminds you how close we are to the big reveal that it doesn’t offer too much new information but a time stamp. It was still worth the watch, though. Let’s chat.

HTGAWM 'It's About Frank' Recap: Michaela Gives Me Life

Looking back on last week’s episode the reactions it brought were nothing compared to those this week. This had to be the best episode of the series so far in my opinion. The acting was so on point that I couldn’t contain myself. There were so many things that happened this episode. We found out who was posting the flyers, who isn’t dead, as well as more about our favorite psycho, Frank. Let’s chat!

HTGAWM 'Don't Tell Annalise' Recap: Guess Who's Pregnant?!

Last week we found out that Bonnie was next on the list of fire survivors, Laurel and her dad have some real issues, and Annalise has a strong back hand. This week, though, I was more shook than I’ve ever been before when it comes to this show. The flash forward this week literally ruined my life, I actually screamed. This was a great episode. Eve was back and then gone again, Annalise completed the first step towards recovery, and Wes had a party as awkward as his tension with Laurel. Let’s dig into it!

HTGAWM 'Always Bet Black' Recap: The One With Laurel's Dad

We’re getting closer to finding out #whosunderthesheet every week and I’m dying. Last week, we ended with Oliver being the first to be on the still alive list when he showed up to the crime scene. The next person to emerge this week wasn’t a shock to me, but I still thought one of the others would appear first. This episode finally gave us a look into Laurel’s life and it isn’t as good as we thought. Let’s get into it!

'Conviction' Series Premiere Review: Should You Keep Watching?

Like many, I had watched the trailers for the show and anticipated its premiere. I never watched Agent Carter but was a fan of Haley Atwell from Captain America so I was interested in seeing her act in something outside of the Marvel Universe. Once Agent Carter was cancelled, everyone was basically ready to boycott ABC, but then Conviction happened.

Looking at the trailers and reading about the show's premise, it was very easy to compare it to the rest of the ABC lineup, more specifically Shondaland productions like Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder. Compared to them, Conviction is different in an I might be trying too hard to be different kind of way.

The show follows Hayes Morrison (Haley Atwell) a former first daughter whose mother is now running for Senate. She's also a lawyer who graduated at the top of her class at Harvard, had a 95% conviction rate as an ADA, and taught Law classes at a top university. What’s the catch? She made headlines for being photographed nude, sleeping with her students, and using drugs. The show actually opens with her in jail for cocaine possession. Apparently, it was a high enough amount that she could've been charged with intent to distribute. It sounds a little cliché because it is. The former good girl turned party girl and won't let anyone forget it storyline has been done before. But I decided to let that go and continue to watch. She's chosen to head up the new Conviction Integrity Unit by Connor Wallace, the golden boy District Attorney who only cares about upping his image before he runs for Mayor. Something about him makes it easy to see past his good looks and play with the idea that he has a hidden agenda and might be a bad guy, but we'll see. Turns out he was in cahoots with Hayes's mother and basically blackmailed her into the position because her mom asked Connor for "help". There seems to be some kind of sexual tension between the two but I can't tell if it's real or not. Hayes's team is made up of your typical characters the former NYPD Detective, the ex-con, the paralegal, and the person who was passed over for the job played by Merrin Dungey, Manny Montana, Emily Kinney, and Shawn Ashmore respectively. Throughout the episode, it's shown how intuitive she is as she's a step ahead of her team in knowing everything about them a la House, but she continuously had to make it known that she doesn't care and that she isn't a good person.

The one thing that I think is kind of dumb about the show is that the team is given a random five days to solve each case they reopen. I don't think the time frame was necessary. The writers could've just set it up like any Law and Order episode where the case is solved in the respective timeframe without the countdown of how long it's been.

I thought the episode was decent compared to other reviews. I went into it fingers crossed that it wouldn't be trash, and it wasn't. I think you should watch for yourself and decide.  I'll have to see what next week has to offer to decide if I'll stick with it or not. What did you think of the premiere?

Conviction airs Mondays on ABC at 10PM

HTGAWM 'There Are Worse Things Than Murder' Recap: The Who's Not Dead Games Have Begun!

So, we’re only two episodes in and I can already tell that this show is going to ruin my life (in a good way). The cliffhangers continue to leave me looking around the room in shock questioning how Pete Nowalk could do this to me. Last week we caught up with everyone and learned what they got into over the summer and we also learned that each week we’d find out who wasn’t killed in the fire at Annalise’s house. That alone is enough to cause me to have no nails left to chew on for the season! This week’s episode gave us a few more minutes of time with Annalise after finding out who was dead and we also got into a case that definitely hit home for one of the Keating Five. Let’s jump into it!

'How To Get Away With Murder' Season 3 Premiere Recap: The Keating Five Are Back In Town

                                 

Remember when you were young and would jump out of bed on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought you? Well, that was me on Thursday morning when I realized that the day was finally here, HTGAWM was back for season 3!

This episode was ironically titled “We’re Good People Now” and we could all tell that the theory would be proven within the first few minutes. The premiere was chock full of hilarious dialogue and a more familial feel between all of the characters because I mean, they did all get away with murder twice. This episode was a great start to the season and showed the audience that we’re definitely going on a wild ride this season. Let’s get into it!
