Can you believe that How To Get Away With Murder is a real show?

A show about a canonically bisexual, mentally ill, dark skinned black woman in a position of power (who frequently is seen with her natural hair and makeupless) teaching a group of students - including another dark skinned black woman, a gay sinnamon roll, a Haitian black boy, a Mexican American hardcore feminist, and a straight white boy who actually treats women with respect and admiration - how to stay the fuck out of prison while weaving in stories and messages about:

- transmisogyny 

- how HIV is not a death sentence

- adoption

- white people bringing up race when it suits them

- being a r*pe bystander

- sexual assault and abuse

- white male rage (when white men are mad that poc have something the white man doesn’t)

and let’s not forget these awesome tidbits:

- literally an entire episode about society sex shaming women

- “let the slut shaming begin” - actual words said as an entire courtroom hears about a sexual encounter a woman had with a man

- “he’s innocent and black”

- a woc calling out another woc for excusing racism 

- “you’re a misogynistic ass”

- a white man being told by a black woman that he is automatically favored by the justice system because he’s a white man

- calling out classism

- a man flat out refusing to have sex with a woman because she’s drunk (i mean yeah they do have sex anyway but she was really persistent and had absolutely no regrets the following day and they started a relationship so it’s not a bad thing) 

and some more little tidbits:

- an amazing soundtrack

- “oh what fun to kill someone and end up in jail”

- everyone is super hot

- “stop being a little bitch baby”

- nice, healthy, fleshed out relationships

- plot twists in every episode

i mean yeah, people get killed a lot but that’s not important
