I've been watching How to Get Away with Murder. Nikki recommended it to me ages ago, but for some reason I never got around to watching it until recently. It's pretty engaging. It reminds me a lot of Damages. Both are lawyer-centric dramas/crime thrillers; both feature powerful women in lead roles; and both show a stunning contempt for conventional morality. I will say, though, that the venerable Prof. Keating does seem to be a little less control of things than Patty Hewes, and a little more susceptible to being blindsided by developments that you would have thought she would have considered before anything else. But I guess that just boils down to the fact that they're different people, in different positions in life, with different responsibilities, and with different resources at their disposal. I will say, though, that I find Wes singularly annoying. His kind of goody-two-shoes is very reminiscent of Dean Thomas from Harry Potter, whom, incidentally, he played. I will refrain from writing any further till my face has ceased to be filled with doughnuts. (It's a good thing I've started running again, or I might have got fat by now.)
