How to Get Away with Murder (“HTGAWM”) has set the bar high with its suspenseful plot twists. It’s a TV series that will keep you guessing every episode until the very end. To be honest, HTGAWM is not for the weak. It requires mental strength to help you go from one episode to another. Of course, there’s also Viola Davis, who has been exceptional since day one. So, we can’t really blame you if you find yourself missing Annalise Keating and her brilliant mind.

The good news is that there are several TV series out there that can fill the HTGAWM-sized hole in your heart. But before anything else, we highly recommend you check your internet connection, whether it’s fiber or satellite internet, before binging on these masterpieces. Let’s get into it!

 

The Blacklist

The Blacklist is like a nonstop rollercoaster ride through the shadowy world of crime and suspense. The story begins with Raymond “Red” Reddington, a charismatic criminal mastermind who voluntarily surrenders to the FBI and offers to help them catch some of the world’s most dangerous criminals.

The catch? He’ll only work with Elizabeth Keen, a rookie profiler with secrets of her own. With every episode, you’ll be drawn deeper into a web of secrets and conspiracies. The timeless question: Who can you trust?

You can watch The Blacklist on various on-demand streaming platforms like Netflix and live TV subscriptions like Dish TV on the NBC channel.

 

Elite

Remember all the secrets and drama in HTGAWM? Well, “Elite” takes it up a notch. It’s set in a fancy Spanish school with murder mysteries, drama, and rich students who are hiding all sorts of secrets. If you think about it, it’s like a combination of Gossip Girl-style drama and murder mystery. Just imagine the suspense, right?

Unfortunately, Elite is a Netflix Original, so you can only watch it on Netflix at this time. But hopefully, it will also be available on other streaming platforms in the future.

 

Suits

Suits is surely a favorite of many when it comes to legal drama. Well, who wouldn’t? There’s this charismatic and sharp-witter lawyer named Harvey Specter and a brilliant college dropout who never went to law school but has a photographic memory named Mike Ross.

With this interesting duo, you’re in for a legal drama that’s not just about courtroom battles but also about razor-sharp wit and quick banter. You can watch Suits on select streaming services, including Netflix, Peacock, and Amazon Prime. It’s also available on Sling TV in the Sling Blue package.

 

Scandal

Scandal is a political drama that’s as addictive as it is intense. Created by Shonda Rhimes, the same brilliant mind behind HTGAWM, the show revolves around Olivia Pope, a crisis manager who specializes in fixing problems for Washington, D.C.’s political elite.

Behind the scenes of high-stakes political maneuvering, you’ll encounter jaw-dropping plot twists and characters with more skeletons in their closets than you can imagine. The moral complexities and ruthless decisions of Olivia Pope will keep you captivated.

 

American Crime Story

If you’re a fan of true crime stories, American Crime Story is your best choice. Each season explores a different high-profile criminal case, offering an in-depth look at the legal system’s complexities. The first season, The People v. O.J. Simpson, is a must-see. It’s like being in the jury box, but you get all the backstage drama too. Legal battles, high-profile trials, and a whole lot of intrigue – it’s a true crime lover’s dream.

 

 

The Bottom Line

We all understand the hangover you can get from finishing all seasons of How to Get Away with Murder. That’s why we’ve lined up these fantastic series to help you through it. Just a quick tip, though – before you start your binge-watching marathon, make sure your internet connection can handle the suspense. You don’t want buffering to ruin those moments. Have fun!
