This Viola Davis helmed show is coming up on its fifth season, so if you're not into it by now, you may never get into it. The synopsis on IMDB reads: A group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defense professor become involved in a twisted murder plot that promises to change the course of their lives." I've never seen the show myself, but at five season, they must be doing something right.
You don't need to jump into this show now if you haven't already, but you also can't deny the power of Viola Davis. I could watch her do just about anything, especially anything involving crime. Still, at five seasons, you may want to at least watch the pilot to understand what's going on first. Then again, there's a lot of other TV watching to get to.
