I just watched season 4 and it did not disappoint. Other than a slight lull regarding the class action suit (which was still inspiring), it was a great season. I couldn't get past a couple seasons of Scandal because of the flip flopping of people's actions and character, but in this show, while the people are flawed, they are basically decent and likable, and maintain or improve in character. And while they continually have terrible things happen to them (or inadvertently cause them), the fun is in seeing "how on earth are they going to get out of this" with full confidence they will figure it out and overcome, at least until the next trial.

The acting and the direction is good but the story line is too complicated to wait each week for a new episode or even wait 6-7 months for a new season. Before starting to watch the new episode, you have to remember what each main character knows about the truth, what lies one of them has told another, what lies has been uncovered by some other person and which character believes what is the truth. It is too confusing at times. Its a good show but I would recommend that you binge watch this show when the series ends so the continuity remains and you don't get confused.

Why such low reviews? I LOVE this show - more more more! Great characters, brilliant storylines - exciting edge of the seat drama....

Not having watched any of this live, I was able to get the DVD discs of this series from my local public library. I hunted it up because of actress Karla Souza, raised in Mexico, after I saw her in a movie and I wanted to see her in something else.Viola Davis is the high-powered and difficult lawyer and professor Annalise Keating. She challenges her class of new students and part of her approach is to pick five outstanding ones for special work in her practice. One of the students is Karla Souza as Laurel Castillo, she is my favorite, I don't really pay much attention to the others. To maintain interest the show is scripted so that not everyone gets along, there is often petty jealousy and competition for no other reason. The title comes from a murder we find out about pretty early in season one but bits and pieces are shown as episodes go bu top keep the viewers guessing.My wife abandoned it after two episodes, it just didn't grab her interest. I rather like it, the characters and the situations. Let's just call it a "guilty pleasure." It is a TV show, made to entertain, and it does that most of the time.EDIT: I just finished watching all of season 1 and the last episode worked so well to begin tying everything together. Now I have season 2 from my library and episode 1 of season 2 reveals some new twists. All the characters are highly flawed and devious but that just all adds up to an entertaining guilty pleasure.
