I love the way this show is set out switching from past to current events keeping the audience guessing as more and more information unfolds!

finally something refreshing on tv! this show's the best new thing since Orange is The New Black.

Overall very enjoyable, intriguing, convincing acting, dense plots and a lot of well developed characters.

BUT the flashforwards used to foreshadow and/or justify certain plot progressions are frigging annoying as is the behaviour of the people involved in those flashforwards, at least of the crazy guy and the panicking woman. I wanna punch both of them so hard in the face when I see them.
I tend to fast forward those scenes as they add nothing that I am interested in or can't already combine on my own from context for the most part.

Additionally, I am all for (real, two-way) equality, but the homosexual sex scenes feel like they are shoved down my throat despite not being too explicit. Especially considering we're only seeing gay sex, not lesbian sex. Why is that?
Maybe because gay sex is more controversial than lesbian sex? Because you can provoke the audience better with it?
It wouldn't be such a problem for me if it wouldn't feel like a deliberate attempt of showing homosexual sex only because it is useful for the plot (bc it is; the romance with the hacker is barely that than it is beneficial for the law student) and you can provoke the audience with it.
That's just cheap and in my eyes almost the opposite of equality.
This way it's not portrayed as "normal" but rather exploited. You can expect better from Shonda than that.

Nevertheless, I am looking forward, how this is gonna turn out.

Why does a law professor also run a high stakes law firm, expecting her entry level students to do all the leg work of a field they know nothing about?
Imagine walking into your first science class, only to have the teacher yell at you for not knowing advanced quantum mechanics already, then failing you if you don't cure cancer.

Season one was SO good but honestly it went downhill pretty fast after that.

Just one of those shows that really turned me off, at some point I really didn't like the characters even though I felt invested in it, it just really turned me off.

I can't handle this anymore
I got up to S02E12 and its just... bleugh

I find myself checking Twitter more than watching this

oh, how i missed this show. thank god it's back!

Admittedly there's not a lot to like about any of the characters except the main one. She's tough, hardened and trying y to do right by everyone which is how the whole thing goes south for her. A defense attorney is supposed to protect their clients innocent or guilty, so I think a lot of the bad reviews forget that.

But this is really about everyone makes bad decisions at one point or another. Do we hold someone accountable? Do they hold themselves? There's a consistent theme here and it's about good people do bad things and bad people often convince themselves they're good by being bad.

There's also a lot about how vindictive we can be as a society to the way we treat strong, straight up people and how easily we turn on the people who are the most honest with us and the ones that are most protective of us.

It ends with vindication (ironic how ation v ive changes a meaning so drastically). I think that's what bounces the show from an 8 to a 10. There's something cleansing about the ending being fair in a world we know often is not.

I didn't think I'd like this show this much at first, but now , the only thing I can say about it it's that it was an incredible show. In addition to the story, topics such as racism, the good representation of the LGBT community, the inspirational strong women we can see on the screen are just important things that really deserves to be seen on TV more often. It's a good show that deserves to be watched.

I wanted to like the show because it had an interesting premise and there a so many positive reviews, but I just couldn’t.

First off, nobody in the cast is likable except the main black student played by Alfred Enoch, who I really thought was interesting. I wouldn’t work for that lady (played by Viola Davis) if she was the last person on earth, all the students except for one are unethical and sometimes immoral. Honestly, though, what really turned me off was the constantly aggressive gay sex scenes in literally every episode (and, by the way, zero straight sex scenes) that served no purpose and were over the top and often were precursors to unethical data farming, some on the verge of (or perhaps even) illegal. I have nothing against same sex relationships but it really is over the top and when I read the shows creators responses to anyone who dared say that they were a bit much ended it for me, she is a vapid twat.

Absolutely brilliant till the end

Absolutely love it. The suspense drives me mad every week and i can’t get enough. Good job Shonda
