It starred Viola Davis as Annalise Keating, a defence attorney and law professor at a prestigious university in Philadelphia who becomes entangled in a murder plot with five of her students.

The ensemble cast also included Alfred Enoch, Jack Falahee, Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, and Karla Souza as Annalise’s students, while Charlie Weber and Liza Weil played her employees.

The series was critically acclaimed while some viewers also said it was ‘by far one of the best TV shows I’ve ever watched’.  

It holds a 88% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes, with many fans sharing their thoughts on the series since it first aired.

‘Thrills and tension, with high energy drama and a kick-ass performance from Viola Davis make this addictively watchable,’ one posted after watching the first season.

‘Love this show!!! Twists and turns at every corner!!!,’ someone else shared.

‘I will warn you, once you start watching this you will not be able to stop! Great acting and the best cliff hangers I have seen. You have to suspend reality a bit with the story line and how much crazy stuff happens but if you accept that you really will enjoy this show,’ another added.

Meanwhile others said the show had ‘one of the best endings I’ve ever seen’.

Hearing the news they’d no longer be able to tune in on Netflix also left some devastated.

‘Y’all did not tell me How to Get Away With Murder was leaving Netflix! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?!’ Niki posted on X.

‘Naurrrrr! How To Get Away With Murder is leaving Netflix in December. I watch this once a quarter to make me feel better about my life choices,’ Reena shared.

‘Rewatching every season of how to get away with murder before Netflix snatches it away from me,’ another fan lamented.

In the final season review of How to Get Away with Murder, Metro explained the series as a ‘beautiful mess’.

‘To truly appreciate HTGAWM, you need to see it not as a serious courtroom thriller, but a murderous telenovela. It is trash TV, heightened with the cream of Hollywood – the television drama equivalent of Helen Mirren joining the cast of Fast and Furious. It gives us the award-worthy performances of Viola Davis teamed with storylines that would be at home on a soap, and that’s what makes it so good,’ it read.

‘There have been plenty of preposterous, nonsensical and downright terrible moments in HTGAWM, but it somehow transcends all its bad times, or rather, embraces the stupidity and runs with it.

‘Playing the twists straight allows you to laugh with it, not at it, and let the wave of the ridiculous whisk you away, with reality left at the door.’

How to Get Away with Murder is streaming on Netflix until December 8.
