How to Get Away with Murder (TV Series) It's Called the Octopus (2015) User Reviews

A bit less tension with a bit more melancholy

[~AleXa~ · 8/10 · 9 October 2015]

The present scenes certainly have you on edge, and then the core of the episode falters. Annalise defends a woman who runs an anonymous sex party scheme after one of her clients dies of a heart attack while with her. The plot becomes a little ridiculous as the team discussed and explores their own sexuality... It's pretty boring in my opinion. The ep picks up again at the end where we're enthralled by why they're skulking around in the woods and now 'the cop' found then. I'm slightly irritated by the fact that the title of the episode is so non-sequitur, having little to do with the plot other than being mentioned. Still a decent ep, but it did strike me as slower than most.

I Found It Rather Tiresome

Once again we focus on the individual characters and their roles. Hanging over all this is that same bloody scene where everyone runs from the mansion. Annalise and Nate are at odds, even though he is a free man. There's too much screen time for sexual encounters. They really do nothing to move the plot along, not to mention everything is gratuitous to bring in viewers without imagination. Once again we are left with a cliffhanger.

TOO. MUCH. SEX.

I was bored with how everything revolved around sex in this episode - and this is a rather unwelcome trend which I also noticed in the past installment. I hope the series moves past this - more legal drama please, less sex scenes and boring characters' sex lives.
