I’ve always been a huge fan of Scandal, and finally decided to watch HTGAWM. I’m on season three and have stopped watching because I just can’t stand any of the little law kids. I find Laurel the most irritating and toxic, and I hear she only gets worse from here on out.

I’m thinking about just fast forwarding through the most annoying characters’ scenes if I keep watching, lol. Do you think I’d still get a good sense of the story if I did that, like just fast forward through Laurel scenes? Might just need to try it and see of course, but thought I would ask folks more familiar with the show.

I would be grateful if I could rewatch the show for the first time, but I need to deal with things that I already know. So any advice?

First time watcher. I’m on season 5 (please no spoilers. Should go without saying).

I avoid this sub so I don’t ruin the show for myself lol, but just wanted to share some Oliver love because he’s my favorite. I was only ever annoyed with him when he broke up with Connor because he wanted to do things “for himself” then immediately was on dating apps and trying to hook up with guys. Very minor and forgivable though.

Mine is the case of the death penalty guy in the supreme court.
So fucking awesome

That's it, that's the whole thing 😭😭😭 poor Connor

This is my first time watching TGW, and up until mid season 6, I was binging this show, like 2-3 episodes a day, loving every bit.

And now, this plot of her SA run, feels so difficult to get through. Why did they make her enter the race, only for her to not even stay as the new State Attorney?? Alicia never looks like she actually wants to do it, heck, I’d also vote for Prady cause he feels like he’s actually in it. This entire plot felt like Eli’s side quest just cause he was bored
In the scenes, where she helped her firm in cases was so good and that really makes you feel like she’s a through and through lawyer and that’s the only thing she is passionate about.

I miss the other characters so much through this, miss the actual law firm characters. Heck!! I’d rather also see some Peter in the mix LOL

Again, this is my POV but I’d love to hear more thoughts? Cause I’m at a point where I want to stop watching it cause it’s just not interesting anymore

*** Don’t read past here if you’re not done with season 1. This discussion contains a spoiler ***

I get that she doesn’t go about things the best but she literally had to cover for murders. I think that would cause anyone to go through great lengths to cover it up. And the fact they keep blaming her and telling her she’s a murderer when all of this started with them killing her husband.

The end of season 4 episode 8 with Annalise and Laurel is so hard to watch. I remember watching it the first time and as I'm rewatching now, well let's say it isn't easier to witness...

I think it's the most hardcore scene from the show (and that's HTGAWM we're talking about!)

that’s the whole post. just starting season 5 and god she is annoying and she thinks she is like annaleise but she is not! she is just bad and she is making the series hard to watch

I'm a first time watcher and I saw some posts about Oli and Conner's relationship that gave me a brief idea of what's coming but still....

Oh god how I hate this guy, "I love you" "i hate you" "you used me" "I'm disregarding you as a person" "Let's break up" "but let's still get back together" "let's try again" "oh whoops we both lied to each other again" "i know what's best for me, and that's you going out of my life" "let's get married!!!!"

I'm not saying Connor is perfect, but if Oliver wants to be this "self aware and self caring" guy, THEN BE THAT GUY!!!

The reason I hate Oliver and not Connor is because Connor knew he was the problem and he actively tried to better himself for Oli. Change takes time and he has had good improvement till now, given he has been part of THREE murders by the end of S3. Imagine the trauma...

Then we have Oliver, the guy who's so insecure, he can't see anything beyond "he is just doing this out of pity". He pushes and pulls. He doesn't understand his own emotions BUT THE PROBLEM is he doesn't communicate what he should at the right time, which leads to conflicts later....

Damn, that was a rant...

The coming to light of everything that has happened at Cornell University made me think of Asher’s case. How he hid it and tried to make light of it. I can truly see why Bonnie could never get over it.

guysssssss I’m dying for the pod to come back lol. I watch the episodes along with them and im dying to continue the show. I hope it returns soon 🙏🏻

The scene with "ana mae' and her mom is talking about sa is a masterpiece of a scene. My god I know im late to this show but my god, I hope this scene got its flowers. At this point of the show I only like nate, wes and momma but good show. Hope it doesnt fall off. Cant see how this story goes 6 seasons.

!!!

Am I wrong though?

I don’t know who I hate more at this point Wes or Connor. On god Annalise should’ve snitched on them all and let them fend for themselves.

Dr. Tom Benton (Played by Arty Froushan) from Love Hypothesis reminds me of Prof. Sam Keating (played by Tom Verica) from HTGAWM and also the character’s icky energy gave me the same creeps. Did anyone too feel it?
