How to Get Away with Murder (TV Series) Wes (2017) User Reviews

There Was Something Missing

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 1 June 2019]

Perhaps Season 4 will help, but this final one, while covering the bases pretty well, seemed to lack the kind of closure and finality the other have had. Annalise is emoting for the longest time. The bad guys don't really pay the prices they should. There are some good confrontations, but in the end, it just sort of drops off.

Great!

[vitjolashkurti · 10/10 · 8 March 2017]

This episode felt like season's 2 finale, not really SHOCKING, but pretty good and made a good story. I understand the viewers were probably expecting a shocking reveal of the murderer and that it would be one of the Keating 4 (Connor, Michaela,Laurel,Asher), but the reveal that Laurel's Dad did it was good too. First of all, no one could have really guessed he had anything to do with it. It came as a surprise, but i agree, not a ''shocking'' surprise, as the viewers were expecting something GREAT. However, this reveal is AMAZING because: We are always used to the small world of the TV show, just Annalise and her ''team'', the courtroom and her clients. With Laurel's dad being the killer, in the next season, we get out of this small world, and get into a bigger one. As we know, Laurel's dad is a huge businessman and his involvement in Wes' murder will make a great story line for season 4 which will hopefully answer questions. I'm excited for season 4, and I know it's going to be GREAT. The writers have made a great job on keeping the show on its feet, but what's really sad is that the show doesn't really get enough attention and it's underrated. I mean come on! Isn't it amazing?

Emotion

[andrewkempf · 10/10 · 23 January 2019]

Wow. So much emotion. I almost teared up seeing the final scene of Wes crawling away from his killer. And the final scene of Annalise talking at the AA meeting was definitely one of the most emotional scenes we have seen on this show. This show has been seriously the most entertaining show I've ever watched maybe with the exception of Breaking Bad. Unbelievable acting by Viola Davis. Alfred Enoch as well. Wes Gibbons will be missed as a character on this show.

A Great Release on the Building Up Tension

[yugimotoo · 10/10 · 25 February 2017]

This show has always fascinated me in the most compelling way. It's a dark, dark series with a set of incredibly creative writing staff behind it, that not only delivers a great story telling, but also somehow a therapeutic release driven by the deep thoughts you face watching this series. For three seasons now, we've been following the challenges these five students had been facing, rooting for them, and hoping that they do find peace, unconsciously ignoring the fact the we are rooting for a family of murderers. Is is because the show captures real life so well, that we see ourselves possibly in their shows one day? Feeling guilty, paranoid, broken and yet still trying to live in a lie that you are not a bad person despite all the horrible things you had done. It is this kind of conflict inside me that makes the darkness of this series so compelling to me; am I really rooting for the good guys or the bad guys? I might have personally felt disappointed with HTGAWM in the past, particularly in season two, and I could not have been any happier to say that I should not have felt disappointed. Everything the characters say, all down to the words, is study and crafted towards building those deep, deep layers of insecurities and conclusions that seem very surprising to us at first, but on a re- watch you realize how much sense everything made, and how obvious it was. In Wes, we first started the episode with an epic scene involving Annalise facing off Sylvia Mahoney and lying all cards on the table. Their face off gets intense when Annalise becomes offensive and Sylvia becomes extremely defensive, being totally blind of the fact her husband is responsible for Annalise's miscarriage, she defended him in such a great way that showed exactly how innocent she is in all of this. What's even more fascinating, is that how the scene ends with the camera zooming on Viola Davis' expressions that summed up this conclusion in just one look. The episode continues these revealing moments, where you'd be both shocked and convinced of the outcome. Keating takes things into her own hands to get Conner release, while the rest of K4 go into their own kind of missions: tracking down Charles Mahoney. That scene was an intense one, it shows us just how far our students are willing to go to face their fears, how long they're willing to go not to lie to themselves anymore, because knowing the truth is much better than convincing yourself any other thing. The scene, though, did not give us a conclusion, but rather a new surprise and many confusing question: Laurel runs into Wes' killer, and he's a friend of her family hired by her father to kill Wes! This means that they were wrong, and that the Mahoneys are innocent on this one, but then this hunts us down with another question: why would Laurel's father do this to her? The most powerful scenes I saw, though, have to be the ones involving Annalise and Wes. We got a conclusion on the night of the fire and learned what really happened to Wes, and we saw that being unfolded in a way that assures us even the characters know deep down that this is what actually happened to Wes; they can all tell he died that horrible, horrible death, and it's all about who's willing to fight and who's not. Annalise never called Wes her son, and we never really did a clear answer despite their emotions on what kind of relationship they had. It made me cry, that Annalise could not make sense of their relationship until Wes was gone, that he was her son, that she felt like a mother to him, and that she feels failure. She feels failure because both of her sons are dead, and it was all her fault. If only she wasn't selfish, trying to get close to him to feel like a mother to him, yet ignoring the fact that you are a poison to him that he should avoid?

Could not think of a better finale that sets you into thinking mode more than this epic finale.

Job perfectly done.

Truth and lies

[Alwaleed21 · 10/10 · 19 June 2020]

The end was a shock no one gonna guess that laurel father is behind all of this miss ! Conor ohhh i hate him always trying to be more selfish Honestly happy to see frank back the show will lose a magnificent character

HTGAWM S3: Maybe we should just go to jail.

[edicionccq · 9/10 · 19 December 2019]

The K5 are really trying moving on with their lives this time, but their past is always going going back to haunt them. Annalise (Viola Davis) keeps trying to deal with her reputation and personal life but things are inevitably going to get worse, especially in a couple of months when her house is on fire and someone she appreciates dies.

The most breathtaking and heartbreaking season so far. Every character is dealing with the guilt and the fear of getting caught after all they have done. The way every character is dealing with everything is pretty well acted, that's one of the aspects that make this show one of the best shows on TV. The acting is delivered flawlessly.

In fact, this season possesses some of the most marvellous scenes in the show so far. In 3x08 is the most amazing scene of the whole show that involves Viola Davis, Liza Weil and Charlie Weber delivering the most outstanding performance of the whole series. Also, in 3x12 Karla Souza delivers another flawless scene.

The murder of the season is awesome and the way it affects the whole show is stunning. So, this season gets 10 out of 10 because it's perfection. The sole thing I can complain about is the final twist, but it isn't as bad to ruin the season.

An Emotional Ending

[copperrd · 9/10 · 29 January 2018]

I'll admit, I did not believe this season would match seasons 1 or 2, but I was incredibly wrong. By this point in the show, you finally feel comfortable with all the characters, their history, and their relationships, thus, the show takes great advantage of this. Viola Davis has continuously impressed me throughout the show as every episode she grows stronger as an actress, and she really connects with her character. This episode marks a new high for her as she dove into Annalise's vulnerable side and we finally see her break. Yes, we have seen her cry, drink, take on cases as distractions and eat her heart out during several episodes, however, this one is different as she faces this tragedy head on, and does not deflect it away like she normally does. The final moments of the episode show her finally letting it all release, and you can feel all the pain she was building up through the season. I thought Wes's ending was handled very fairly, as they gave him more than just one episode for his character's closure. The mystery behind the fire was interesting as well since you could never fully guess who was behind it until this episode. Though it was a surprise to see Laurel's father orchestrating Wes's death, it was almost too much of a surprise. There was almost no connections made throughout the season with him to at least give the audience a chance of understanding why he did it, but perhaps that is what season 4 will cover. Laurel, Michaela, Asher, Conner, and Oliver have a comforting relationship with each other as they really unite and become a family this season. They still bicker and fight, but by the final episode they are all protecting and looking out for each other

Dissapointed final

[nicofreezer · 6/10 · 8 May 2021]

An overall weak episode, with nothing great in it, stupid writting, characters are just doing non logical things.

Season 3 really jump the shark , I Hope next season would be better.

6.5/10.

binge watching On Netflix

[sssss-157-979746 · 3/10 · 27 September 2020]

I am hopefully only going straight to the point.

Edit: this going to look all over the place, my apologies in advance.

I hated this, I mean from the beginning you try to relate to any character, but they keep doing stupid stuff, every one of them except for Asher and then he goes and kills an innocent person, but maybe there's a way to like them back, and I enjoyed the series and accepted it so far, and I rated every episode from 8, 9 and 10. But I kept hoping that Wes is not dead because he was one of the best of them if not the best of them but they handle it poorly, the writers they could've killed others but they didn't, and now they will try to bring Laurel's father into it. Maybe Wes's existence would threaten his money or something that doesn't make any sense like Frank killing Laila or whatever. And I hate to say it but I don't think they would bring anything to make me like the show as I did before.



Lastly, I hated with all my guts how Bonnie reacted when Laurel accused her of killing Rebecca like she had nothing to do with it and her acting like a child by killing Rebecca like it's nothing, and how Annalise agreed to put all on Wes and calling him her son after everything she has done. Or you could take everything that I have said and blame it on the writing without a plan, that's probably is the reason.

And honestly, I don't know what to rate it, but hopefully, 3 make sense.



I am sorry to sound off like this but I am just so frustrated, anyway if anyone wants to talk to me about this or the show this is my Instagram or Twitter account: ( Twitter, happiness1997aa ) ( Instagram, happiness1997a)
