There is a new series premiering soon titled How to get away with murder. I may watch the first episode to see where the plot line is going. But I don't see anything good coming from a show with such a title.

I was wondering about that myself. Just what we need a show telling you how to plan one.

Well, every crime mystery book does so. Fortunately 99.9% of the time the bad guy(s) make several mistakes. Not the least of which is bragging about it. If the show holds true to Hollywood standards, there will be more errors in it than holes in Swiss cheese.

Indeed. A show in which one actually gets away with murder would be really boring as it would kinda lack any form of drama and tension related to the murder itself.

Actually I think there is something to the notion that the 'perfect' murder is a paradox.

Yeah but Dexter requires a huge suspension of disbelief. I mean, you are telling me that no one notices how he walks in a place with kilometers of plastic sheets and then no one sees him walk out with hundreds of garbage bags in the middle of a big city?

He's a coroner who knows what a coroner does at a crime seen . YEh i know but still shows about murder usually end up with someone going to jail and from what i saw of the clip about it a cop was interviewing 2 killers so i don't think it will be what the title says . That's just hoollywood games to get people to watch it i bet they all get caught and go to jail

This one is about a law professor. I guess she is teaching potential defense attorneys how to get their clients acquitted even when guilty. Maybe the show is OK, I'm just not good with the title.
