Review of Your Funeral

How to Get Away with Murder: Your Funeral (2018)
Season 5, Episode 1
It's good... but it's just the same
29 September 2018
The first two seasons of this show has been my all time favorites as they were always bringing the non-stopping excitement with twists and turn with the writing and answers always mark a good finish to the seasons. Season 3 is not that fun but always kept bringing new concepts and moments to it. Season 4, in the aftermath of Wes' death, get too much melodramas and uncountable number of sobbing scenes, gets boring and only bring up the notch at the two mid-season episodes. The answer to Wes' death was barely have way through just brought more plot holes and absurdities to the show. And here we are, at season 5, the writers and producers putting in a completely new character and mystery, pretending that Wes and the unsolved stories revolving him never existed.

Now, forget what just happened in all the previous seasons, we have a new show, again at the clinic, students compete again and a flash-forward in the future shows a deadly crime. Things work in a repeated loop. It would be just as exciting as season 1 if I obliviate myself to be new to the show. I thought the show would be special: a limited 4 season show that gives a satisfying explanation of everything at the end. Then I forgot this is a Shonda Rhimes show, which is full of dramas. Things are kept going over and over again, even murder, all for profit I think.

I know many people would disagree and say that it oh how the last scene would always shock them but it doesn't work the same for me. The amazing first two season convinced me I must turn my brain max on watching the show. Apparently, I was wrong doing that with the recent seasons.
