How to Get Away with Murder

via

As soon as I saw commercials for "How to Get Away with Murder", I couldn't wait to watch it. Although I'm only a paralegal, I really enjoy examining the facts of a case to come up with a strategy.   I think I'm already obsessed with this series. The pilot alone blew my mind. 

Professor Annalise Keating is a defense attorney teaching a criminal law class to group of law school students.  Her lesson plans are not your traditional courses, bringing the true meaning to hands-on learning. Professor Keating takes five students on a crash course into the down and dirty life of a defense attorney by helping her with her own cases. Watch as her and the team discredit witnesses and sabotage the prosecution, all while getting tangled in a murder that will change their lives forever.

This show is intense, but I'm not sure exactly how realistic the show is in portraying criminal law. I only do workers' compensation, so this show is NOTHING like the real world. However, its fun to get wrapped up in the fantasy for entertainment.

Tune in every Thursday night to watch Professor Keating help her clients get away with murder!

I know I'm late to the game on this one, but Modern Family is my new favorite show! I started watching last Fall because I heard such great things about it. I'm glad I did. I find myself laughing out loud at multiple points each episode.  

Modern Family is the perfect depiction of what a family of today may look like. The father remarries a gorgeous, younger single mom, the father's son is gay who adopts a little asian girl with his partner, the daughter is married to an awkwardly hilarious guy and they have three children. The oldest daughter is attractive without a brain, the middle child brainiac, and the corky, innocent, only son. It's a bit interesting when your son and your father's new wife's son are the same age. That also makes you and the new wife's son step-siblings! Lol.

Families now-a-days are made up of all shapes, religions, races, genders, dynamics, etc. Modern Family shows the day-to-day lives of a normal, family of the 2000s. Mike's favorite is Phil Dunphy, the awkwardly hilarious dad. The dynamic between characters make for hysterically funny scenes and episodes about simple and relatable things that a family may go through.

We're a bit behind, but Modern Family just aired their season five finale. The finale featured Cameron and Mitchell's (the gay couple) wedding. I can't wait to see it! And did you know that Cam is actually straight in real life? Blew my mind! He plays a wonderful gay man. I read that his co-star and partner on the show (who is gay in real life) said that Cam is "gay for pay." I died.

So, if you are looking for something to watch on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until season six starts on ABC, tune into USA Network for Modern Family marathons and prepare to laugh...a lot.
