What happened to the diversity on this show? Last night, Abbie was the only POC for most of the hour. That's so unlike Season 1. In Season 1, the diversity of the cast was one of the main things that drew me to this show. As I watched last night I kept wondering, where's Jenny? Where's Frank? Where's that lady that took Frank's place? What happened to Luke? I miss John Cho! <sigh>. If the addition of Hawley is going to push all of the other POC off the canvas, I'd rather not have him around.

Things I disliked: Connor So far, Conner is the gay version of the Stephen character from Season 1 of Scandal, and I'm underwhelmed by him for the same reason. All he ever does is use sex to get information. So I'm supposed to believe that, for every case, Conner will conveniently find just the right person to give him exactly the info he needs to break the case because he's just so sexually potent that resistance is futile? Okay. The overhyped 9 words ITA that most of us were probably already suspicious of the husband, so it wasn't all that surprising. Wes's obsession with helping Rebecca They really haven't given me a plausible reason for him to be going the extra mile for this charmless, unfriendly, ungrateful girl. The Clutter This show has too many meh characters that do the same things. I'd be fine with cutting 2 of the 5 law students and jettisoning both Associates. If Anni needs an Investigator and a researcher for the office, I'd rather she hire Nate and the cute Asian IT guy. I'd love for them to bring in Elizabeth Perkins as a regular to play Anni's friend. (See below). Things I liked: Viola Davis Annalise peeling off her layers in the final scene was great. Elizabeth Perkins as The Client She was fun. They need to make her a regular. The interaction between her and Anni made me realize that a light friendship is just what this show needs to balance the otherwise serious tone of the show. Annalise needs a good friend to confide in and share some lighter moments. Besides, if they ever need a crossover event, I'm sure that Elizabeth Perkin's character and Annalise would end up needing the services of Olivia Pope if they ever went off on a girlfriend weekend together. The Murder Mystery (or 2) I'm still intrigued by both murders, although I seem to be the only one who thinks Micheala is acting like she killed the husband. Every time they flash back to the crime scene, I'm struck by how traumatized she's acting. It makes me wonder if she was attacked by the husband and killed him while trying to fend off a sexual assault.
