The first season of “How to Get Away with Murder” is compelling from beginning to end and getting Viola Davis to headline was a brilliant move as she gives much needed weight and her ability to keep viewers off kilter helps to build momentum throughout the season.
Premature obviously is predicable but still is a nice twist on reliving the same day plot device and actually attempts to provide an explanation for it. The cast, which outside of Alan Tudyk and Katie Findlay (“The Killing,” “How to Get Away with Murder”) is mostly unknown, all work well with one another while the script has some funny, if not “American Pie”-inspired, humor.
