The LONG PILL:
Every law school student in Philadelphia’s Middleton University wants to enroll in the defense course of the prominent criminal defense lawyer, Annalise Keating. But aside from having a slot in her class, everyone wants to be part of the prestigious Keating 5, an exclusive group of students who get to train with her in real court cases. But while working on various high-profile cases, the lawyer and her students had to do everything to protect each other and cover the evidence about their involvement in the death of Annalise’s husband. This drama also showed that evidence can be altered to avoid paying for one’s crimes, especially if you have an excellent lawyer.
Hard Pill to Swallow
The on-again, off-again alcohol addiction of the lead character can be annoying. It has become a major distraction in some of the most interesting plot twists of the drama.
