‘How To Get Away With Murder’ Finale Solves One Mystery, Then Sets Up Another (SPOILERS)
.
“Who killed Lila?” didn’tnning around playing junior detectives has always been the show’s weakest element, and that was no exception in the finale. Spending time with those characters, however, not only created opportunities for all kinds of sexual liaisons but also allowed the producers to slowly tease out the details of Annalise’s personal life, which proved more layered than one might have guessed.
One line in particular stood out from Thursday’s finale, when Annalise discusses who really killed Lila, saying they must choose “the version of the truth that makes the most sense and will let us move on.”
Yet like any good lawyer, that’s actually very artful doublespeak. Because what the finale was really designed to do was dish up a dollop of information – that Annalise’s employee Frank (Charlie Weber) committed the crime – in a manner that would deliver the feeling of a payoff in order to let the show keep moving along this track. (As a footnote, having played the aforementioned Rosie Larsen and now met another violent end, Katie Findlay really deserves a part in a nice, quiet comedy.)
In the short term, mission accomplished. As for how long Nowalk and company can get away with narratively spinning plates in this fashion, let’s just say the jury’s still out.
