Spot on. My brother is a lawyer. I'll have to get him to watch. While he doesn't teach law, I'm sure he'll get a kick out of all the malpractice you point out in the show.
@@alski200 Six Feet Under (which is a show I totally enjoyed and loved) had something in their DVD extra stuff where they interviewed actual undertakers who talked about the show. Obviously in contrast to independent UA-camrs, they could just cherry-pick. But at least from what I learned there, Six Feet Under totally made sure to portray the life at such a funeral home and the professional materials and work and stuff as genuine as possible.
Morgan Allen Yes it does . Just a lot of questionable stuff happens and the characters start to become real annoying like wes and laurel Also shit starts to get real as the seasons go on like a butterfly affect !
@Morgan Allen I think everyone is forgetting that this is a tv show FOR ENTERTAINMENT. The writers and producers never came out and said "this is how law school is and how practicing law works" It's for pure entertainment and if people can't understand that then that's there problem
if they were speaking the truth then you know how many murderer is would get away with this if it was real they have to fake something so no one will know how-to-get-away-with-murder it's just a show obviously no one's going to really tell us how to get away with killing some one
My gf used to love this show... until she completed her first year of law school ... then we couldn't get through an episode without her tearing it apart 😂
Well something is wrong with her, it's called entertainment. Us African Americans have a lot to say I'd how white producers portray us. People like you all are annoying.
Do you know what entertainment means? Just imagine taking seriously great shows like Dr. House Or just imagine the following: Real housewives reacting to desperate housewives. You are not smart, you are just a pain in the ass no one wants to spend time with.
@Felutia's Fans Uh.. what? Your post sounds AI generated - like it's so close to meaning something but ultimately none of it actually makes any sense. I really have no idea what you're even trying to say.
Meh, I've gotta give it a pretty low grade for realism. Not nearly enough bodies, dude didn't even die. No information or advice on how to actually get away with murdering your boss. D+, and I'm being generous.
Well you missed her opening statement in the class...She said she wasn’t there to teach them law, she said she would be teaching them how to get away with murder😂😂😂
@@katnblu nope. she didnt say that she would actually teach them how to get away with murder, she said that she named her teaching strategies, techniques and uniqueness "how to get away with murder".
imagine going to the hospital for a gynecological procedure and discovering that because it's a teaching hospital all the doctor's students will be watching as you are examined ...

I can't believe how many comments are pointing out it's a TV show and not understanding that the point of videos like this is to teach those that want to learn more. We all know it's a TV show and doesn't need to be realistic, but it's interesting to learn more about how the legal system works. He's not criticising the show for choosing entertainment over realism, he's just using it as a way to teach people how real law works.
He is teaching people how real law works?????? HAHAHAHAHAHA sorry but, Are you that stupid? My God XDDD I hope you are not a lawyer or a law student. This is UA-cam. You don't come here to learn how LAW WORKS.

I don't put real life stuff in show. Cause then I won't be able to enjoy it. Cause then I'm be like this lawer n say everything is wrong about this show.

Lol I love doing that. Since the Navy, where I found out our graduation photos in front of the flag has us wearing some random ass dress white top and cap, while wearing cami bottoms and boots. Now I think it whenever I see anyone at a desk
My mother is a Harvard graduate Attorney, and she does this exact kind of reaction when she watches crime shows. It's the best to see someone else reacting this way.
Jessica that’s kind of how these types of videos go. Not sure what you were expecting exactly. The context clues in the title insinuates the content of the video. Aka a guy, who spent a lot of money to go to law school, being incredibly frustrated by extreme misrepresentations of something he spent a lot of time at.
14:05 Analisse: How'd you get this? Connor: It wasn't exactly "legal" Analisse: Then we just have to get creative The lawyer: *Doesn't contradict or says that's something lawyers don't do*
Ja'Liyah Warren Nah. Being a lawyer is about UNCOVERING the truth, not hiding it. Think about it. You don’t know if a murder charge is true, so a group of people get together to either enforce the law and justice or prove the charge incorrect and protecting innocents. It’s a wonderful job.
Theres a reason why that specific boy(Asher) said that he interned for a judge its because his dads a corrupt judge as we see further into the series. He had connections
I watched him rate an episode of SpongeBob the other day. That episode got a C+ for legal realism. This legal drama got a lower score than an episode of SpongeBob. That's outstanding.
Truth! This is a one episode review of a pilot. There are definitely better episodes he could've reviewed that are more legally accurate. But again, this is a pilot. Something created just to get the network to approve the actual show.
For instance, one of the first thing he pointed out was how Asher couldn't be an intern for a Chief Justice. What Legal Eagle does not know, is that Asher is the son of a federal judge. It's not unlikely that a his father wouldn't pull strings for him to intern for another federal judge. But since this is the pilot, a lot of these things are unrealistic to us, the viewer.
A seriously hilarious scene, that one. If you ever need a reason to not watch forensics dramas (aside from "enhance the image"), just remember that TV producers put that kind of thing in their shows.
When you said "This is SCREAMING MAL PRACTICE" was so funny... because this whole show is based on her unethical behavior throughout her professional and personal life, and I think this is what makes this show likeable and so friggin addictive
It also makes entirely inaccurate and not based even remotely in reality. No one acts like a real person in this show especially the lawyers. Its like watching a baby kill 100 men with a pair of chopsticks. Actually nvm that sounds great
I was overwhelmed by how precisely Ms. Davis mimics the cadence and enunciation of Professor Snape’s intro speech in hers. It’s perfect homage from one great actor to another great actor.
Objection! Does Ms. Jackson have an objection to " all these handsome lawyers and doctors on UA-cam"? I would like to see more "lawyers and doctors on UA-cam" OF COLOR and/or female. One love. Come on in,the UA-cam's fine!
I like how kept his calm in the bee movie, eventhough the "lawyer" was a florist, but has a complete meltdown when it comes to malpractice regarding client-lawyer privilige
@@leaffinite2001 I think it's actually because of how badly she's misled and endangered her client, when she's a real attorney and should know better. I bet if lawyer-florist was actually licensed to practice and invited a bunch of student lawyer-florists to a bee witness interview he'd be just as upset lol.
I now have to wonder how much of what it did wrong was intentional. Annalise is a lying -----. How much of it was the writers playing with that and how much was them being clueless?
I think the show title gives you a major clue as to how many shits this show gives to law and its (ethical) practice. It's about murder, the most sensational of crimes and the "How to Get Away With..." implies several seasons worth of pointless in-universe scandals.
Scott Mew ... couldn’t put in better words ... then again it was created by the same writers of another stupid show Grey’s Anatomy ... which shows what’s shouldn’t happen at any good Hospital!
I dont know why the comment thread is butthurt. He is reviewing as a lawyer and how realistic the show and practice is ( even though it is a drama). Its interesting to hear what it actually should be like and someone pointing out the malpractice. I am a trained social worker and i would do thr exact same if i saw how social workers acted in dramas
I know right!! He never said it was a bad show, just what parts wouldn't be correct. I can still enjoy the show after watching this. I like the show, but it's fun to see what's illogical and wrong about it too.
Also, he’s not doing it to pretentiously deconstruct inconsistencies in pop culture, but rather as a launching point to give good tips on the essentials of practicing law
From the view of fact, some of the dramas can be quite incorrect when it comes to scene with professionals. So, this guy here points out the flaws of the dramas based on his profession. Some people just couldn't take the critics 😑
Actually, the funny thing is that of the videos that I've seen, he's actually complimented the show or movie for how realistic it was. The Social Network and the Good Wife. This is the first one where he's trashed it the whole time.
14:42 "This probably isn't interesting to anyone but fellow lawyers..." Objection, Legal Eagle makes an unsustainable assumption. I, as a non-lawyer, find all of this interesting.
No, assumption means taking without much or any proof that a thing is true. Speculation means prior thinking or meditating on a subject before making a guess. Essentially, speculation means putting more logic or research behind an assumption. Still, both words deal with personal guesses, so the word "probably" gives no preference toward either term. I can't know how much evidence gathering and logic Legal Eagle used to support his claim that non lawyers wouldn't find that particular bit interesting, but unless you personally helped him craft this episode, neither can you. :) But from the time given to that guess (the single line and then dropped), I'm going with "assumption" as the correct term. Speculation would probably have more time devoted to it, or else why use logic or do research and not share it? Assumption is still the best term here. Objection sustained! 😂😂😂
Just finished the entire series which kept me glued for the past two months as I binge watched all 6 seasons. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I got jealous, I got turned on, I got perplexed, I got hurt. But most importantly, I was satisfied because I felt so much love from the very start to the very end!.... This is one hell of a show!....
@@QuirkyFactos It absolutely is worth watching. I work in the medical field and when I watch TV series that are based around Emergency Rooms, Patients, Doctors and they way handle certain scenarios, I always find myself rolling my eyes because I know they are so way off and wrong. But at the same time, they take situations and cases that would normally not be intresting whatsoever and turn it into some of my favorite episodes. I'm just so glad that you are watching it, once you make it to season 2, there's no turning back and things are about to start popping off my friend and you will hooked to the very end!... Enjoy!....
I dont even know why i watch these im not in law school and will never go into law school but I'm interested in the vids Edit holy shit thanks for the likes
Honestly, same, but they're kind of entertaining and educational. I'm not the least bit interested in becoming a lawyer at all, but I find this fascinating.
I know its intended to make the professor look like a prodigy of law practice, but the simple fact that she shanghaied a bunch of know-nothing first year law students into her WITNESS INTERVIEW for a trial she has in TWO DAYS makes it seem like this crazy lady actually has no idea what she's doing and she's bringing her class on board to pick and poach their brains about ideas that she can't think of on her own and to have a scapegoat if the trial doesn't go her way.
@Proud Mudhutter : I think he knows that more than you do. Still, it's a _bad_ TV series, for the reasons he provided, among others. Most of us would rather see a _good_ show than a _bad_ one, see.
@PhantomSavage: AND she doesn't give a crap-care about her job, her clients, nor the Law nor a proper, legitimate, and functional Legal System. She says so herself in the previews! I'd bet that she's a New York City Socialist Worker in her spare time, given what you've described.
@@Missyydebbyy : There's no way in hell I'm watching that shit. It's gutter-junk trash-crap like untreated sewage and I don't have to torture myself watching that. Why, are you gonna pay me to sit and watch that god-awfulness...? Ooo, I bet the paper check is already in the snail-mail oh so expediently even right now as I write this!
SUSTAINED! These shows, especially medical, legal, or police dramas are all the same. A hard-ass instructor, students who get reamed out, narcissistic students, lots of strutting around, and a lack of caring about what it's really like in those professions. Props to you for calling it out!
That's why I like "the rockie" in police dramas, ok, so as it's continued, it's become way too preachy & lost what made it great, but I love that it doesn't stick to the stereotypes, the hard arse instructor (Tim) gets a second rockie to train who is former military & so he goes the total opposite way, teaching her to appreciate butterflies & making her feel good about herself & when his first rookie, who he was super hard on confronts him about it, he explains to her that she needed to see the dangers, the new one already does & needs to see people as people, not enemies & it makes it clear that he is in fact a genuinely good instructor, genuinely responding to whatever his rookies need. Same with the students, hugely diverse, not narcissists & genuinely caring about the job, but all for different reasons
To be fair, the further into the show I got (halfway through now), it seems like the underlying idea is that Annalise is wildly unethical, constantly breaks legal standards, and should've been disbarred years ago xD
@@rhaenentargaryen9996 No, that wasn't the point of this segment at all. They didn't in any way indicate that this was a purposeful violation of the code of ethics, or even a violation at all (and to what end? It would have been a disaster for the client).The writers are just dumb and expect their audience to be too.
...did you even watch the video? Are you a lawyer? I am. This show is insultingly dumb and inaccurate. The video does a good job of pointing out numerous of those basic inaccuracies.
Naw hahaha it's just funny because it's exactly what not to do when you're a lawyer. And that's what the whole show is about. And it doesn't look like he watched the show which makes it even funnier!
It might be the case that this show is about lawyers using unorthodox method to win murder case. However, he's right; it doesn't excuse how she treat her students. How can a student learn anything when the basic is not even taught to them.
I 100% agree with you, I was just saying that the entire show is basically about how she ruins her core student's lives and only wins cases by breaking the law instead of employing actual legal strategies. In fact, the show even goes out of it's way to show what a bad mentor she is by showing the core character's grades to be in the bottom 20% (or something I don't remember the exact figure) because they are so busy at her practice all the time but not actually learning anything.
I binged this show in a week. So addictive. Thinking of law school and I’m glad I won’t have to worry about having to cover up murders for my law professors. 😌
Ok at first it's hilarious how upset he gets. But then I thought about how as a dancer, seeing bad representations of dance in movies and TV is actually the most cringy thing ever, so I guess I understand why this bothered him so much.
That's why we need specialists! Not everyone can do everything or understand everything. When I was in college I worked as a bra fitter. And I used to cringe all time when I was out an about because I could tell just by looking at someones shirt if they were wearing the wrong size bra.
Things get like that no matter what profession you're in. Mind you, I just laugh and move on when I see "acid" eating through concrete. For those interested: about the only thing I know of that can wreck concrete that bad, that fast, is chlorine trifluoride...which would ignite said concrete, burn it like wood, and produce clouds of gaseous hydrofluoric acid as a bonus. Hydrofluoric acid passes through most things, including skin and latex, and goes straight to attacking your bones. And that's assuming you don't breath it in and get your lungs melted for your trouble. Basically, it results in a painful, prolonged screaming death for anyone in range of the "smoke" it produces. Not fun! You can probably see why a certain German dictator from the 1940's was considering using it in anti-bunker shells. Never did use it, though. Thankfully.
Objection! Nobody really watches HTGAWM for the impeccable use of law, we watch it for the DRAMA and the fact that the show leaves you speechless each episode haha
Y'all came to a channel about legal stuff to complain that this lawyer is taking the show too seriously...duh? He's not an entertainment reviewer, obviously he's going to talk about the actual LEGAL content and not how fun it is to watch Viola eviscerate law students.
Eidrian Christian That has nothing to do with this. He is critiquing the show based on its accuracy to law in general. Whether or not it’s reality or for purely entertainment does not really matter.
@@br5073 calm down, I'm not here to debate about his critique of the show. I'm just saying the show is neither reality TV nor a documentary for a reason, its not something you'd look for if you want actual law accuracies, so to critique it for that matter doesnt really make sense or is at least necessary. Nonetheless, his professional insight is intuitive.
Eidrian Christian How do you know I didn’t write that in a calm manner? You people on UA-cam are all the same. You try to explain yourself and people think you’re butthurt or upset.
House is a really good show but not a great representation of working in medicine. Which I don't think it's necessarily supposed to be. I watched some old ER episodes recently. It's for sale on youtube and still outpaces a lot of current medical drama, imo. But Code Black was pretty good.
Because we’re ALL pointing out the fact that the whole POINT of the show is to show how unethical Annalise Keating’s teaching methods are..that’s LITERALLY the synopsis of the show and he would know that if he did research before turning on the camera and getting so frustrated about a fictional TV show that he had to take a 1 hr break to cool off. It’s never that serious😂😂
People can get defensive of things they guard close to their heat. Anyway, they just salty, every othher channel on youtube does this and you'll get complaints like this. Still they continue to watch hahaha.
Probably wouldn't even have been a murder if Wes had run away. (Well, except that Sam still killed that poor girl. But no ensuing web of murders keeping the premise of the series going.)
You know, she ends up ruining their lives. You are right that she isn’t teaching them anything because later in the show they struggle to get those summer jobs and internships because they were studying under her. Some of them even end up failing their exams, too.
It's hilarious that Phoenix Wright with it's ridiculous tropes bothered him less than this show. How to Get Away With Murder certainly is out there lol.
maybe the fact that Phoenix Wright is supposed to be comedic and silly makes it so it doesn't really matter i they get the law wrong, just enjoy the ride. This show, on the other hand, is supposed to be realistic and taken seriously, therefore the laws should be represented well.
It helps, I think, that Pheonix Wright at least has the excuse that it's based more on the Japanese legal system, so it's easier to suspend your disbelief if you're not so intimately acquainted with that. How To Get Away With Murder, being set in the states, has no such excuse.
Phoenix Wright deserved more slack because it's taking place in an imaginary legal system and isn't really saying anything about how things work in the American system.
Phoenix Wright's legal system is more of a dystopian future kind of deal. HtGAWM is the kind of show that wants to be "dark and realistic" but only manages one of those things.
I did always think it was strange the students were always at her house studying and never their school and library lol. Like didn’t they have other classes? Lol.
Thank you for doing this! I never could understand the concept behind the show: if you really wanted to focus on this teacher dragging students into her practice, why do it with first years who have literally no knowledge or any experience? Why not just do the same thing but with last years? What sense does it make for law students on their FIRST DAY to be treated like they should already know everything about the law and be capable of practicing it? That always just baffled me so much I couldn't stand watching it
Not a defense more of a clarification but you do realize they do that in anime because you're most likely talking about shonen anime which is target towards a younger demographic. So of course they'll have characters that their viewers are going to relate to more. Gundam Wing is a big offender of this, they had people that were in high military positions that were barely in their early 20's
So they can milk the series for seasons. Starting with year 3 also leaves little room for character development and events. Which this sort of "glamour drama" shows will do in the most shallow manner (offcourse).
What about the alliteration though? The Legal Eagle has a beagle, The Legal Beagle. How are you gonna make more puns like Steven Segel meets the Legal Eagle with Regal meal pleuuse beagle beagle beagle.
The requirement that every student must present a different defense is not realistic with hundreds of students. What is the last one supposed to plead? That the victim was, in fact, a chicken and that the killing of poultry is no criminal offense, maybe? At least no one else is going to propose pleading that...
I did : 9:50 - The woman clearly says "each of you" when talking to, at the very least, a few dozen of people. Furthermore, I am not commenting in a comment section for that specific scene but under a video made by Legal Eagle who, himself, declared at 9:22 that there are "literally hundreds of people". Last, but not least, you may not have realized that you were answering to what was basically a joke and even if I really had been incorrect about the facts you could still have decided to shut the hell up instead of answering something irrelevant, fractious and stupid.
I think the combination of you as a lawyer doing this and the show showing what it shows is art. As a show they obviously can’t spend the time to explain all of the legal concepts so as an audience we just have to assume they’re right however you as a lawyer are explaining to us the legal concepts because that’s what you do on your platform. So it really makes sense, as an art form, that they do not explain the legal side of things even though they’re in a classroom. And it’s really great that there’s someone like you explaining the legal side on the Internet
OBJECTION TO THE COMMENTS SECTION: this channel is about reviewing shows and other legal events so we can learn about legal practice. For TV shows they are reviewed for how representative they are for the legal profession. They are not reviewed based upon why people watch the show, what the motives of the characters are or even what the purpose of the show is. They are simply reviewed on the basis of how accurately the shows reflect the legal profession, no more, no less.
HOWEVER his viewerbase seems to not understand this because people are saying the lack of accuracy is drawing them away from the show! As if every police show like NCIS or whatever is accurate! They are getting pulled from an amazing opportunity. This isn't shameless or orange is the new black. This show has the best writers I've ever seen.
I’m pretty sure the amount of malpractice recognisable in this for an attorney would be like a doctor watching a show about a supposed medical professional who somehow got access and permission to perform several surgeries, botched a dozen of them (out of universe, but apparently in-universe the patient’s surgery is perfect because soap opera), teaches students as a professor in medical school, regularly have them handle real-time patients without proper sanitisation or procedure, and end up fine while romanticising and championing flaws that just shouldn’t exist in any drama show concerning these types of professions. *How to get away with inducing a pandemic* Also you’d have to be a good lawyer to let a client get away with murder, if anyone hired her they’d do nothing save for being convicted.
Actually what he is saying ties in. If the prosecution can pick apart the defense, its the fastest way to get your client in jail. also if you are dismissed on the grounds of malpractice, all your cases would be reopened.
@Second Wizards i dont agree with OP, but your insult was way off base and kinda awkward ngl. if youre gonna comment insults on a law video, at least make it factual and not just another ad hominem
ALSO let’s point out the fact that’s it’s just a show and it’s for entertainment purposes. It’s not like we all believe we’re gonna he lawyers after this show

I can't believe how many comments are pointing out it's a TV show and not understanding that the point of videos like this is to teach those that want to learn more.

Also the stupid show pretends that it’s about law, it’s not
He is teaching people how real law works?????? HAHAHAHAHAHA sorry but, Are you that stupid? My God XDDD I hope you are not a lawyer or a law student. This is UA-cam. You don't come here to learn how LAW WORKS.

He was almost more horrified by the law students at the witness interview than the corpse desecration videotape in Better Call Saul.
“They fucked a head!”
“Better than fucking the public perception of the legal system by making an inaccurate bastardization of it in a show.”
well, to be fair he did appreciate it as the right tactic from a legal standpoint (the videotape, not the students :)
To be completely fair, the head's already dead. No one's gonna have their trial screwed over if their dead body gets desecrated by trust fund brats.

Theres a reason why that specific boy(Asher) said that he interned for a judge its because his dads a corrupt judge as we see further into the series. He had connections

Truth! This is a one episode review of a pilot. There are definitely better episodes he could've reviewed that are more legally accurate. But again, this is a pilot. Something created just to get the network to approve the actual show.
For instance, one of the first thing he pointed out was how Asher couldn't be an intern for a Chief Justice. What Legal Eagle does not know, is that Asher is the son of a federal judge. It's not unlikely that a his father wouldn't pull strings for him to intern for another federal judge. But since this is the pilot, a lot of these things are unrealistic to us, the viewer.
I'm in IT. Watching you lose your mind reminded me of when I watched that episode of NCIS where two people use a keyboard at the same time.

I think the show title gives you a major clue as to how many shits this show gives to law and its (ethical) practice. It's about murder, the most sensational of crimes and the "How to Get Away With..." implies several seasons worth of pointless in-universe scandals.
Scott Mew ... couldn’t put in better words ... then again it was created by the same writers of another stupid show Grey’s Anatomy ... which shows what’s shouldn’t happen at any good Hospital!
You'd think, you'd really think that these shows would hire actual lawyers to provide accurate information, hence giving a more realistic experience.
I dont know why the comment thread is butthurt. He is reviewing as a lawyer and how realistic the show and practice is ( even though it is a drama). Its interesting to hear what it actually should be like and someone pointing out the malpractice. I am a trained social worker and i would do thr exact same if i saw how social workers acted in dramas
I know right!! He never said it was a bad show, just what parts wouldn't be correct. I can still enjoy the show after watching this. I like the show, but it's fun to see what's illogical and wrong about it too.
Also, he’s not doing it to pretentiously deconstruct inconsistencies in pop culture, but rather as a launching point to give good tips on the essentials of practicing law
I find it really interesting to see his opinion on the show, I don’t really understand why people are getting upset he’s just explaining things 😂
From the view of fact, some of the dramas can be quite incorrect when it comes to scene with professionals. So, this guy here points out the flaws of the dramas based on his profession. Some people just couldn't take the critics 😑
Actually, the funny thing is that of the videos that I've seen, he's actually complimented the show or movie for how realistic it was. The Social Network and the Good Wife. This is the first one where he's trashed it the whole time.
14:42 "This probably isn't interesting to anyone but fellow lawyers..." Objection, Legal Eagle makes an unsustainable assumption. I, as a non-lawyer, find all of this interesting.
Sustained. It's great!
He did not make an assumption. He made a speculation. It was qualified by the word "probably". Overruled! 😂
No, assumption means taking without much or any proof that a thing is true. Speculation means prior thinking or meditating on a subject before making a guess. Essentially, speculation means putting more logic or research behind an assumption. Still, both words deal with personal guesses, so the word "probably" gives no preference toward either term.
I can't know how much evidence gathering and logic Legal Eagle used to support his claim that non lawyers wouldn't find that particular bit interesting, but unless you personally helped him craft this episode, neither can you. :) But from the time given to that guess (the single line and then dropped), I'm going with "assumption" as the correct term. Speculation would probably have more time devoted to it, or else why use logic or do research and not share it?
Assumption is still the best term here. Objection sustained! 😂😂😂

I'm not gonna spoil the rest of the show without saying too much, but that professor shows how great of a lawyer she is multiple times
I know its intended to make the professor look like a prodigy of law practice, but the simple fact that she shanghaied a bunch of know-nothing first year law students into her WITNESS INTERVIEW for a trial she has in TWO DAYS makes it seem like this crazy lady actually has no idea what she's doing and she's bringing her class on board to pick and poach their brains about ideas that she can't think of on her own and to have a scapegoat if the trial doesn't go her way.

SUSTAINED! These shows, especially medical, legal, or police dramas are all the same. A hard-ass instructor, students who get reamed out, narcissistic students, lots of strutting around, and a lack of caring about what it's really like in those professions. Props to you for calling it out!
I agree its why I love the NCIS shows they're really good at being friendly with each other, you'd want to be relaxed in that field
That's why I like "the rockie" in police dramas, ok, so as it's continued, it's become way too preachy & lost what made it great, but I love that it doesn't stick to the stereotypes, the hard arse instructor (Tim) gets a second rockie to train who is former military & so he goes the total opposite way, teaching her to appreciate butterflies & making her feel good about herself & when his first rookie, who he was super hard on confronts him about it, he explains to her that she needed to see the dangers, the new one already does & needs to see people as people, not enemies & it makes it clear that he is in fact a genuinely good instructor, genuinely responding to whatever his rookies need. Same with the students, hugely diverse, not narcissists & genuinely caring about the job, but all for different reasons
To be fair, the further into the show I got (halfway through now), it seems like the underlying idea is that Annalise is wildly unethical, constantly breaks legal standards, and should've been disbarred years ago xD

Naw hahaha it's just funny because it's exactly what not to do when you're a lawyer. And that's what the whole show is about. And it doesn't look like he watched the show which makes it even funnier!
It might be the case that this show is about lawyers using unorthodox method to win murder case.
However, he's right; it doesn't excuse how she treat her students.
How can a student learn anything when the basic is not even taught to them.
I 100% agree with you, I was just saying that the entire show is basically about how she ruins her core student's lives and only wins cases by breaking the law instead of employing actual legal strategies. In fact, the show even goes out of it's way to show what a bad mentor she is by showing the core character's grades to be in the bottom 20% (or something I don't remember the exact figure) because they are so busy at her practice all the time but not actually learning anything.
Lol one of my favorite shows

Ok at first it's hilarious how upset he gets. But then I thought about how as a dancer, seeing bad representations of dance in movies and TV is actually the most cringy thing ever, so I guess I understand why this bothered him so much.
@Gabriel Do you need a nap? You sound like you need a nap.
That's why we need specialists! Not everyone can do everything or understand everything. When I was in college I worked as a bra fitter. And I used to cringe all time when I was out an about because I could tell just by looking at someones shirt if they were wearing the wrong size bra.
Man... He has all the reasons too, TV is much of poetry, but sometimes... Get's things a little too far...
Things get like that no matter what profession you're in. Mind you, I just laugh and move on when I see "acid" eating through concrete.
For those interested: about the only thing I know of that can wreck concrete that bad, that fast, is chlorine trifluoride...which would ignite said concrete, burn it like wood, and produce clouds of gaseous hydrofluoric acid as a bonus. Hydrofluoric acid passes through most things, including skin and latex, and goes straight to attacking your bones. And that's assuming you don't breath it in and get your lungs melted for your trouble.
Basically, it results in a painful, prolonged screaming death for anyone in range of the "smoke" it produces. Not fun! You can probably see why a certain German dictator from the 1940's was considering using it in anti-bunker shells. Never did use it, though. Thankfully.

Martirosyan Mikayel Objection! HTGAWM is a really ugly acronym.
Objection! The video isn't about why people watch it, it's about legal accuracy, as such why people watch it should have no impact on its grade.
then you are quite basic...
Damn right
The show is terrible altogether lol. Cringy acting and very unrealistic obviously over-dramatized scenes. Couldnt finish the first season.
now you know how an italian feels when they watch “seven delicious one pot pasta dishes” by Tasty
😂😂😂
Ahahahhaha accurate
😂😂😂😂
ahahaha sto malee
Hai ragione 😂
god he is such a laurel
Hhahahahaha omg.
lmao
He is so pressed 😂
Hahahahahahaha
LMAOOO
I’m obsessed with this show, the characters are unforgettable.
Y'all came to a channel about legal stuff to complain that this lawyer is taking the show too seriously...duh? He's not an entertainment reviewer, obviously he's going to talk about the actual LEGAL content and not how fun it is to watch Viola eviscerate law students.
@Gabriel How about you get some common sense instead?
Gabriel I don’t understand the thinking behind this comment.
I mean this from the bottom of my heart:
Huh?
The show: *Does literally anything*
This dude: “um, actually...”
Tanner Well when the show is as inaccurate as this one what do you expect?
@@br5073 well its not reality TV for a reason
Eidrian Christian That has nothing to do with this. He is critiquing the show based on its accuracy to law in general. Whether or not it’s reality or for purely entertainment does not really matter.
@@br5073 calm down, I'm not here to debate about his critique of the show. I'm just saying the show is neither reality TV nor a documentary for a reason, its not something you'd look for if you want actual law accuracies, so to critique it for that matter doesnt really make sense or is at least necessary. Nonetheless, his professional insight is intuitive.
Eidrian Christian How do you know I didn’t write that in a calm manner? You people on UA-cam are all the same. You try to explain yourself and people think you’re butthurt or upset.
I object to your D+ on the grounds of *your reactions to the scenes* . Cmon, i see it in your eyes, its an F.
Is "F-" a thing? It's a bit overkill, but we can just tack on more minuses until the point is clear.
There was an additional comment saying “It’s not an F only so I’ll never see you again” XD
After watching this, I'm not sure what could possibly be worse.
May I request clarification aswhat constitutes an F? What are the jury instructions for assigning blame on this show
F in school means fail. So the show failed it's course and has to re-do it.
It calms my heart to hear that Annalise would fail to cause as much suffering in real life as in the show.
If it were realistic, it would be hella boring.
Saher Odeh lmao yea
Not if it was family law.
you're underestimating the number of weird shit that can happen.
honestly tho
Criminal law is interesting in a totally bizzare way.
civil law is hella boring except for family law
how to get away with murder is for lawyers how grey's anatomy is for surgeons.
Oluwaseun Fagbamila I get so frustrated with healthcare shows. So many get it SOOOO wrong.
The good doctor is a really good show
lol all those sappy love triangles on Grey's. Real doctors don't have time for all that.
Cerina Shippey none of them are good. Hasn’t been a good medical drama since ER
House is a really good show but not a great representation of working in medicine. Which I don't think it's necessarily supposed to be.
I watched some old ER episodes recently. It's for sale on youtube and still outpaces a lot of current medical drama, imo. But Code Black was pretty good.
How to Get Convicted of Malpractice-Episode 1
Nice. I wish I would have thought of that.
I'm literally laughing
Why’re people so salty over this video lmao, the whole point of it is to grade legal realism
Because we’re ALL pointing out the fact that the whole POINT of the show is to show how unethical Annalise Keating’s teaching methods are..that’s LITERALLY the synopsis of the show and he would know that if he did research before turning on the camera and getting so frustrated about a fictional TV show that he had to take a 1 hr break to cool off. It’s never that serious😂😂
@@bebop-p9s bruh I doubt this guy was genuinely getting mad over a show. It’s just a video, for the video
@@Cj-xt6tv that is a cool pfp
@@bebop-p9s it's just video
Why u got to be mad
People can get defensive of things they guard close to their heat. Anyway, they just salty, every othher channel on youtube does this and you'll get complaints like this. Still they continue to watch hahaha.
"Run away. RUN AWAY!" lol best part
Specially considering the outcomes for having taken the job. Poor Wes.
Probably wouldn't even have been a murder if Wes had run away. (Well, except that Sam still killed that poor girl. But no ensuing web of murders keeping the premise of the series going.)
He should’ve ran 😢
He already knows lol
You know, she ends up ruining their lives. You are right that she isn’t teaching them anything because later in the show they struggle to get those summer jobs and internships because they were studying under her. Some of them even end up failing their exams, too.
so what's the point of the show? i watch all episodes and i'm so lost because they use 'plot twist' without any real goal in-mind
lmao yo did not get the point of the show, did you?
The multiple murders may have had them a lil distracted tbf lol
They ruined it for themselves
@Nick The Great exactly
It's hilarious that Phoenix Wright with it's ridiculous tropes bothered him less than this show. How to Get Away With Murder certainly is out there lol.
maybe the fact that Phoenix Wright is supposed to be comedic and silly makes it so it doesn't really matter i they get the law wrong, just enjoy the ride.
This show, on the other hand, is supposed to be realistic and taken seriously, therefore the laws should be represented well.
They may know how to get away with murder, but they can't get away from a real lawyer!
It helps, I think, that Pheonix Wright at least has the excuse that it's based more on the Japanese legal system, so it's easier to suspend your disbelief if you're not so intimately acquainted with that. How To Get Away With Murder, being set in the states, has no such excuse.
Phoenix Wright deserved more slack because it's taking place in an imaginary legal system and isn't really saying anything about how things work in the American system.
Phoenix Wright's legal system is more of a dystopian future kind of deal. HtGAWM is the kind of show that wants to be "dark and realistic" but only manages one of those things.
I did always think it was strange the students were always at her house studying and never their school and library lol. Like didn’t they have other classes? Lol.
BTW, the person who "interned" for chief justice, the justice is his dad
Which makes it a million times more believable
No, his dad is a judge. His dad got him the intenship.
his dad was just a top lawyer not a justice
@@lkez2 His dad was a judge. Judge Millstone.
@@six.elev3stn738 lol SOMEBODY didnt watch the show. judge MILLSTONE for sure. rip lol... nah i take it back. he was trash hahaha
You should totally review the court scene from "To kill a mockingbird"
Oh my God
I agree!
He has to review it by today's standards though for maximum cringe.
Do NOT continue watching this series because you'll be shocked by how many illegal things they do (in court)
I mean... not really? The whole show is literally about how to get away with murder, no wonder there'll be illegal stuff going on.
I'm glad i never seen it, and i'll stay this way!
The whole show's premise is lawyers killing people and committing malpractice
@@alexchung736 I thought the show's premise was to teach the students how to defend clients accused of murder.
@@katr.9902 no I've watched it the entire premise is a law professor and her students committing malpractice and crimes.
With the way things panned out, telling Wes to run is actually really good advice
Thank you for doing this! I never could understand the concept behind the show: if you really wanted to focus on this teacher dragging students into her practice, why do it with first years who have literally no knowledge or any experience? Why not just do the same thing but with last years? What sense does it make for law students on their FIRST DAY to be treated like they should already know everything about the law and be capable of practicing it? That always just baffled me so much I couldn't stand watching it
If they had a class of about 12 3L students, it would be much more realistic.
Not a defense more of a clarification but you do realize they do that in anime because you're most likely talking about shonen anime which is target towards a younger demographic. So of course they'll have characters that their viewers are going to relate to more.
Gundam Wing is a big offender of this, they had people that were in high military positions that were barely in their early 20's
It's brain washing to get loyalty, start em' young. That's how China does it.
I felt like they acted like I should know everything.. and that was on my second day of 1L. 😭
So they can milk the series for seasons. Starting with year 3 also leaves little room for character development and events. Which this sort of "glamour drama" shows will do in the most shallow manner (offcourse).
It bothers me that your channel is not called leagles.
Shorthand version?
Maybe the show is legal eagles but the fan base are leagles? Either way, love that name
What about the alliteration though?
The Legal Eagle has a beagle, The Legal Beagle.
How are you gonna make more puns like Steven Segel meets the Legal Eagle with Regal meal pleuuse beagle beagle beagle.
The requirement that every student must present a different defense is not realistic with hundreds of students. What is the last one supposed to plead? That the victim was, in fact, a chicken and that the killing of poultry is no criminal offense, maybe? At least no one else is going to propose pleading that...
Djorgal there weren’t hundreds of students - that wasn’t for the whole class, it was for a handful of students
Djorgal watch the scene before commenting ffs
I did : 9:50 - The woman clearly says "each of you" when talking to, at the very least, a few dozen of people. Furthermore, I am not commenting in a comment section for that specific scene but under a video made by Legal Eagle who, himself, declared at 9:22 that there are "literally hundreds of people".
Last, but not least, you may not have realized that you were answering to what was basically a joke and even if I really had been incorrect about the facts you could still have decided to shut the hell up instead of answering something irrelevant, fractious and stupid.
@@Djorgal
There were not HUNDREDS of students though.
I think the combination of you as a lawyer doing this and the show showing what it shows is art. As a show they obviously can’t spend the time to explain all of the legal concepts so as an audience we just have to assume they’re right however you as a lawyer are explaining to us the legal concepts because that’s what you do on your platform. So it really makes sense, as an art form, that they do not explain the legal side of things even though they’re in a classroom. And it’s really great that there’s someone like you explaining the legal side on the Internet
It's fun to watch him get angry. I hope he does more episodes of this, so we can see his gradual descent into madness.
It wouldn't be gradual.
@@LegalEagle Sustained.
Absolutely LOLOL
OBJECTION TO THE COMMENTS SECTION: this channel is about reviewing shows and other legal events so we can learn about legal practice. For TV shows they are reviewed for how representative they are for the legal profession. They are not reviewed based upon why people watch the show, what the motives of the characters are or even what the purpose of the show is. They are simply reviewed on the basis of how accurately the shows reflect the legal profession, no more, no less.
Louis Baker Objection! This channel was for Law School Advice and Law School study tips.
I'll allow it
@@joostvanrens damn you beat me to it.
@@Toadsage64 you are correct. I was talking about this particular format on the channel and didn't make that clear.
HOWEVER his viewerbase seems to not understand this because people are saying the lack of accuracy is drawing them away from the show! As if every police show like NCIS or whatever is accurate! They are getting pulled from an amazing opportunity. This isn't shameless or orange is the new black. This show has the best writers I've ever seen.
He totally missed the title of the show. It's How to get away with Murder not How to properly be a Lawyer
I’m pretty sure the amount of malpractice recognisable in this for an attorney would be like a doctor watching a show about a supposed medical professional who somehow got access and permission to perform several surgeries, botched a dozen of them (out of universe, but apparently in-universe the patient’s surgery is perfect because soap opera), teaches students as a professor in medical school, regularly have them handle real-time patients without proper sanitisation or procedure, and end up fine while romanticising and championing flaws that just shouldn’t exist in any drama show concerning these types of professions.
*How to get away with inducing a pandemic*
Also you’d have to be a good lawyer to let a client get away with murder, if anyone hired her they’d do nothing save for being convicted.
Actually what he is saying ties in. If the prosecution can pick apart the defense, its the fastest way to get your client in jail. also if you are dismissed on the grounds of malpractice, all your cases would be reopened.
@Second Wizards i dont agree with OP, but your insult was way off base and kinda awkward ngl.
if youre gonna comment insults on a law video, at least make it factual and not just another ad hominem
ALSO let’s point out the fact that’s it’s just a show and it’s for entertainment purposes. It’s not like we all believe we’re gonna he lawyers after this show
very true
