The Unlikeables
Hitchcoc7 July 2020
I don't think anyone likes anyone else in this show. Annaliese has barbs out for everyone and has hurt everyone. Michaela won't listen to anyone and is obsessed. Frank is in deep doo doo. Then there is the ridiculous threesome that is being set up. There's more. The last five minutes has more stuff than three episodes combined. As is my soap opera prurience kicks in, I will watch again to see how they manipulate things.

The actual murder is of this show :(

This is so sad. This is the last season of the show, ever. We are never going to get any more of it. And they are spending their time like this? No spoilers, but now at least half of next episode is going to be spent with something that we can already guess the outcome of, because it's just painfully obvious. Nothing happened in this episode whatsoever. Nothing. Just occasional check offs like "coliver sex scene," "Annalise's messy love life," "is Tegan even trustworthy," "Asher's being goofy," "Gabriel - the perfect boyfriend but he's obnoxious again." The only character with a real storyline right now is Michaela. A storyline which 1) isn't very interesting because she's become so unlikable, and 2) feels off because it doesn't seem relevant to any mystery plot, yet we've already seen it done with Wes almost exactly alike. Originality lacks strongly, and again the outcome of this is pretty obvious, so, is this even HTGAWM? The fact that the showrunner/screenwriters learnt nothing of the different things there's been complaints about these last seasons, is incredible. It's why the show got canceled and they had to wrap it up now, a lot of people lose interest. And it's like the team don't even bother making up for it. The most exciting thing right now is probably figuring out Asher's new situation, what it even means. Because I mean, that's about the only thing that's not obvious right now.

***SPOILERS BELOW!*** To demonstrate the lack of mystery and clever plot, I'd say we can safely assume
  • Frank is going to survive (which will fill up next episode)
  • Michaela's dad have no relevance to the murder plot, so he's probably just going to help out whomever of them actually graduates in the end, considering his job and all, whenever Michaela is able to forgive him (this has been her whole journey, right)
  • Annalise will probably fake her death, hence also the Bahamas thing this episode, and then it really takes away from this season's whole mystery
  • Tegan really did kill Emmett, or not, because by now it doesn't really do anything either way
*FOURTH episode* Keep in mind that the depiction of the last seasons mysteries were quickly solved by fans like who died at the wedding even down to season three's big death, almost everybody guessed it, so most of these assumptions which can be seen in almost every comment section are *most* likely right. And we have no proof that anything exciting is going to show down actually. Like they haven't even promised that a main character or *anyone* of relevance is going to die like in season 3, only teasing it which is nothing new, so will it be as safe as season 4 and 5? Will it be someone or something random the blood is coming off of in the flash forward? If that is the question to keep us going, it only proves the point that we can stick around for the terrific actors and the characters we've come close to for 6 seasons, but the writers have not improved on their terrible plot making for a while yet. For a show about murder, it just doesn't seem to want to go there anymore. It's focus has been lost somewhere in all the mentioned above, trying to be powerful but gets caught up in shallowness and unneccessary often guilty pleasure cliches. Three stars for the performances and the small parts of the writing that worked, like Annalise's small monologue to that client or whomever he was. Quick scene but THAT was powerful. Here's to hoping things will turn out differently - and greater! I really, really hope so!
