How to Get Away with Murder (2014–2020)

A charismatic law professor takes a team of ambitious students under her wing, students who eventually find themselves accidentally involved in a complicated crime.

Another series from the large Shondaland family (Grey's Anatomy, Bridgerton, Scandal), which means scandal, sensational, incredible coincidences, unexpected consequences, spontaneity and enthusiasm uncharacteristic to anyone in the real world. In other words: an American soap opera with lawyers. The cast is well chosen, Viola Davis is electric, although maybe too negative too much of the time, the situations are interesting, with a temperate dose of cheesy and the addiction is easy to understand, given the short fragments of the "bait scene" that are fed to us from the first episode each season.

Liza Weil might be familiar from the Gilmore Girls and Charlie Weber was Ben from the Ben&Glory duo in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
