HTGAWM Recap

Although the episode had some excellent moments, a few really shattered the show’s believability. Frank setting up everything so effortlessly and Oliver’s flawless hacking skills are getting laughable. The whole drugs in the trunk scenario is so cliche and Frank managed to pull it off so easily that it was ludicrous. Finally, I nearly lost it, when Annalise asked Wes about his other classes.

That was really a terrible mistake and made the writers look very inept. Although these are minor flaws, they were easily noticeable and I was half paying attention. Overall a 6.5 out of 10 is deserved. Be sure to catch up with the other Season 2 How to Get Away with Murder episodes now!
