NJay Maldito not very impressive to me. She literally just got done saying it was obvious. So clearly the girl wasn’t trying to look smart. If anything, she was trying to move the class along. That dudes “learning opportunity” was holding up everyone else’s education.
The problem with answering a question in front of a crowd that is waiting for you is Anxiety - You start thinking about what everyone else is thinking about you - You realize that the entire class is waiting on you - Then you see that you aren't thinking about the question at all - Which then makes you even more anxious - You know that you are able to answer the question but the only thing stopping you is the fact that everyone thinks that you are stupid because you are taking too long This has been a problem for soooooo many people.
Lol. If that's the case then may be the law isn't for them! As a lawyer they will be required to go in front of court rooms and the media. What their classmates think should be the least of their worry. It's going to be a lot worse in the real world. I say hit the ground running. Start them out in the environment they are going to be in. That's how you find out who the serious ones are and who are the flakes! I'd run my classroom the same way!
And all those things that a person may feel anxious about, ultimately do not matter. Hopefully those students struggling with it, LEARN to let it all go, because LIFE does not care about those things.
I need to rewatch this show from the beginning once it’s finished. It’s one of the best shows of all time and the character development is amazing especially Annalise’s.
If I'm being honest, season 1 is by far my favorite season of the show. Don't get me wrong, the later seasons are still good, but they just don't compare to season 1 for me. The classroom scenes are just amazing and I wish we got more of them. I'm not going to get into spoilers like some of the other comments, just in case there is someone unfamiliar with the show reading this, but the main reason that the show got worse for me was that my favorite character was drastically changed by events that took place and it made them far less likable and interesting to me.
I agree that Season 1 might be my favorite as it had the best mystery and the best pay off to te mystery revolving around who killed Sam and who killed Lila. After that, while the acting from the cast still remained strong, the stories started getting a tad too complicated for their own good to the point that the fact that the characters going to class largely started getting overwritten by too much of them trying to cover their tracks. That’s probably why I liked Season 4 as the main case at hand (Annalise’s class action) didn’t get swept aside by Laurel trying to bring down her father.
@@adrianapineda1022 yes but while a wait listed college acceptance makes sense to be embarrassing, wouldn't the class wait list just mean that he was late to register?
@@nonconformist36 On a technical sense, you'd be right. But in reality not getting accepted means you don't have to try to keep up with those who scored better than you (unlike those who barely got in and have to put in extra effort just to keep up with the average classmate).
Went here after the finale, and dang, everything really went full circle: Annalise and Christopher's chalk-intro, the subtle connection between Laurel and Wes, Michaela, Connor, and Asher's characterization. Much love for this show!
Rewatching this makes me believe that Annalise was brilliant enough to pretend there really is no connection between her and Wes by scolding him and pretending that he's a 'waitlist'
The G Mesh I'm a law student. This is actually how it really is in law school lol. They call your name from the roll and you better be able to give an oral case brief on the case discussed 😂 It's *literally JUST* like this especially when everyone in class is a Type A person
@@somerealnews6312 depends on the teacher. But in most cases, yes. Most lecturers will find it disrespectful if you remain seated when answering. In smaller classes, they do not mind since you are easily recognizable. In medium classes, it depends on the specific lecturer and what they allow or don't allow. In large classes, you *have* to stand up or else the lecturer will ask you to. The key point is that they want to see who is answering
@@somerealnews6312 sorry for the super late response btw. You didn't reply directly to me so I did not see your comment until I actually returned to this video and happened to chance upon it
"Never take a learning opportunity away from another student" I love this and have had to incorporate it in to my life to stop being trodden on about how I live my life. There is a culture of helpers out there who are only too happy to rob you of the opportunity to help yourself without you asking for help in the first instance thereby robbing you of the chance of independence in place of codependence
Kept seeing this on Netflix and seeing the preview it shows when you highlight it. So thought I’ll RUclips the start (This video) and this alone has convinced me to watch it. That’s how every show needs to start
From the way they open their brief and grab the chalk to the way they say “How to get away with murder”, you can tell Christopher was heavily influenced by Annalise.
I think the only reason that Annalise bullies Wes on Day 1, is because she knows she's gonna play favorite to Wes later on. Annalise wants to make such a bad first impression towards Wes so the others will think when Annalise does Wes more favors, they'll just gonna shrug assuming he did something good outside of the class.
This really screws me up watching after we’ve seen the later seasons. She KNEW him and his horrible story growing up and still messes with him in front of the whole class??
I don't think she was messing with him. If anything, she was sincerely helping him by pushing him out of his comfort zone so what he learned would stick. Excellent teaching tool if you ask me
Wes as you call him went to the most elite school in the UK. It has an acceptance rate of just 1.3% and most of the students are super-smart geniuses who get into Oxford/Cambridge/Ivy's. What did you expect?
I wonder what their lives would be like if Wes didn't show up. Michaela would trying to get her life together after having a gay fiancee, Asher would still be a privilege little white boy, Connor would not be with Oliver, Keating would be divorced from Sam or even be killed by Sam after her suspicion of his murder of that girl, and Laurel would still be in the clutch of her father's tyranny.
She really sucked at explaining what mens rea means. She just translated it into "guilty mind" which doesn't really tell you anything if you think about it. The way she phrased it, it would actually seem more likely to mean the killer's motive rather than the planned act. No wonder he didn't know the answer.
Masticatious He didnt get a chance to think either way. The translation offers no hint at the right answer whatsoever. Like I said, it's actually misleading if anything. So it's a pure trivia question and if he didn't already know he answer, her translation didn't give him any chance to figure it out.
Of course it wouldn’t. What the audience never understand is that films and TV shows are written in a technique that doesn’t really represent an entirety of reality, otherwise entertainment pieces will be boring, mundane and flat, very much like our own perception of reality.
Well, did she really expect everyone to know everything even before the course officially began ,just because she emailed them ? What else will she do in the class then ? BTW Viola Davis was tremendous as Annaliese Keating . If HTGAWM was so interesting it is because of the way she played her role and the story.
Who’s here after that FINALE to see the intro WOW
Meeee!!! 😊
That is a perfect ending for the show
You got me😂😂😂😂😂😂
i cannnn't😭
the ending was the best of all endings
If i was in that class i would've failed
I would’ve cried
I would have dropped
I've would've shat myself
Elle woods would slay in this class
I would've left as soon as I got in.

sdf3123 nope she could have asked
sdf3123 The point is, no one asked her to answer the question, and telling from her expression, she obviously wanted to impress the teacher.
StarlightKY I disagree, checkmate
What a smooth and effortless way to introduce the main characters. Ugh, love it !
The way Viola PURRS “how to get away with murder” is legendary.
I know right....epic...😍😍😍😍
Love it
absolutely.
The main characters were presented in the first scene and we didn’t even know
I love you so very much because you are cute.
@@kylaallen596 wth
Do you have a good girl friend.
You could tell
yeah I could tell.
Are you is amazing friend.
Despite her harshness, which I love, she was being considerate when she said " Let me help you out. "
Poor Wes looked like Elle from Legally Blonde on her first day
lol right!!!
Yeah but wes is more beautiful
Yeah but Elle is more beautiful
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA a fellow one!
Exactly what i thought HHAHAHA
I loved the way Michaela took the turn without permission...
Well, Annalise did say anyone could answer
No
It's so Michaela tho but we didn't know that yet

This has been a problem for soooooo many people.
Serious Being I think it’s great preparation for aspiring lawyers! They have to think quickly with the spotlight on them.
Lol. If that's the case then may be the law isn't for them! As a lawyer they will be required to go in front of court rooms and the media. What their classmates think should be the least of their worry. It's going to be a lot worse in the real world. I say hit the ground running.

LMAO if that makes you anxious forget ever becoming an actual lawyer and going to the courtroom.
@@blackmenwomensuperpower305 Yes, if you have a problem, just give up. You must be really smart and successful.
And all those things that a person may feel anxious about, ultimately do not matter. Hopefully those students struggling with it, LEARN to let it all go, because LIFE does not care about those things.
Everyone raising their hand and Michaela stand up to say the answer is iconic.
Fr🙌
I need to rewatch this show from the beginning once it’s finished. It’s one of the best shows of all time and the character development is amazing especially Annalise’s.
I have to agree. I'm planning to rewatch season 1 as well.
I agree!Viola & HTGAWM deserved 3 Emmy's!Totally robbed!
I agree
If I'm being honest, season 1 is by far my favorite season of the show. Don't get me wrong, the later seasons are still good, but they just don't compare to season 1 for me.

mine's season 4
same, season 1 was my favorite. I loved the mystery behind sam's murder
Didn't they also make the class action case a two part episode AND a crossover? It was deserving of both.
your favourtie character was Michela wasnt it
Why is being on the wait list embarrassing ? Those other kids laughed. I felt sad for Wes here he’s so innocent and cute looking here.
Means they barely got in
@@adrianapineda1022 yes but while a wait listed college acceptance makes sense to be embarrassing, wouldn't the class wait list just mean that he was late to register?
@@rachele.3229 nope waitlisted means that you are the replacement if ever someone from the official list dropout
I think not getting in at all is much more embarassing than being wait-listed.
@@nonconformist36 On a technical sense, you'd be right. But in reality not getting accepted means you don't have to try to keep up with those who scored better than you (unlike those who barely got in and have to put in extra effort just to keep up with the average classmate).
They look so young and innocent: :’)

Annalise and Christopher's chalk-intro, the subtle connection between Laurel and Wes, Michaela, Connor, and Asher's characterization. Much love for this show!
The way she said How to get away with murder was EVERYTHING!!!! and then there came Hooooow to get away with a Scandal .UGH!!!! I LIVE!!
Anyone else here after the series finale??! What a good show this was, worth watching over again and again
Annalise is the type of professor I would admire but be scared sh*tless of. Love it.
Rewatching this makes me believe that Annalise was brilliant enough to pretend there really is no connection between her and Wes by scolding him and pretending that he's a 'waitlist'
why is everyone answering so dramatic

Just looking back at this scene with her and Wes its just crazy how she knew his whole history without him even knowing who she was.
Who's here after the series finale? 😭😭😭
I'm going to miss this show soooo much. 😭😭😭 Never missed an episode.
Me...😭😭😭
What is the name please?
The foreshadowing in this scene (after watching the series finale) is CRAZY
Kept seeing this on Netflix and seeing the preview it shows when you highlight it. So thought I’ll RUclips the start (This video) and this alone has convinced me to watch it. That’s how every show needs to start
The beggining and ending of such a good show...😭😭😭
And so the Keating 5 were born...
My dream in life is to become a professor and make an entrance as iconic as this one.
Are you a professor in 2023 ?
Wow. She's harsh. I love it
3:18 'Yanny' is a weird name
Laurel*
Victor Hue hahahahaahhaha all time classic
Funny
I like how she knew Connors name on the first day.. serious foreshadowing.. "why did you choose me for the Keiting 5?"
She was looking at names on the white sheet she was holding, look again
From the way they open their brief and grab the chalk to the way they say “How to get away with murder”, you can tell Christopher was heavily influenced by Annalise.
THIS is exactly like my criminal law class 😒 the material is amazing but woo lord that Socratic method
I think the only reason that Annalise bullies Wes on Day 1, is because she knows she's gonna play favorite to Wes later on.

Liz same way Snape did with Harry all this time.
NJay Maldito so true
Liz she was pushing him to adapt
Liz if you're gonna be there then be square
I don't think she was messing with him. If anything, she was sincerely helping him by pushing him out of his comfort zone so what he learned would stick. Excellent teaching tool if you ask me
When I saw Wes my heart wept..
owww, they were so cuteeeee.
THIS IS SO NOSTALGIC MY GOD BEST SERIES EVER
Anybody here after the series finale?
Full circle. Just can't believe it's over. 😭😭 Never missed an episode.
Me...😢😢😢
3:23 This line reminds me of the scene with Professor Snape in the third movie of Harry Potter where he called out Hermione for being
Yes !!!
Admit it. It's one of the best scripts for a series' intro everrrrr. 🙌❤️
If you're here, you know why I made this comment on May 14, 2020 🙄
I'm totally not crying because it's over
We came a loooong way 🤝🏽
I now have to open Netflix and binge watch his show.
The way she says " how to get away with murder"
Chills
I loved how they ended it the way it started
what a full circle...if you know what i mean.
Caden Morse ikr🥺🥺
I wish real law school classes were actually like this. in reality the classes are boring and stressful.
Ikr. It's all theory honestly
I would be the WES of the class on the first day because there is no way I would read before the first class
Wes sounds hella British here
Wes as you call him went to the most elite school in the UK. It has an acceptance rate of just 1.3% and most of the students are super-smart geniuses who get into Oxford/Cambridge/Ivy's. What did you expect?
Lisaa xo Not to mention the guy was in Harry Potter.
@@anniesimonyan8622 true tho. He was the best
I missed these guys 😍😍😍 i will watch it again.. binge watching
Boy,who’s here after watching the season fenale😭😭seeing Wes as Christopher 😭😭
SHE WAS CLOCKING THEM FROM THE JUMP LMFAOOOO.
I'm professor Annalise Keating and this is criminal law 100, or as i prefer to call it:
"How I met your murder"
not me coming back here after I've finished watching it, it's like I can't move on and I wanna forget everything and start it all over again
I wouldn't want to be unprepared in Analise Keeding's class. At the same time I don't think I want to get all A+'s.
"Michaela Pratt" Mama that was a slay.
I wonder what their lives would be like if Wes didn't show up. Michaela would trying to get her life together after having a gay fiancee, Asher would still be a privilege little white boy, Connor would not be with Oliver, Keating would be divorced from Sam or even be killed by Sam after her suspicion of his murder of that girl, and Laurel would still be in the clutch of her father's tyranny.
I've been thinking for the last 20 minutes where I know him from and it's been fucking with my mind xD then I remember he's from Harry Potter
Nemesi same
Haha me too
Rate my professor is quintessential...
Whose here after that awesome full circle finale 😁
Here after watching the finale 😩😩😩❤️
Me too..😭😭😢
Best entrance to a class ever!
Not me watching clips and getting the urge to rewatch the series again
im still crying, i think ending like the beginning wasnt a good idea. Keating cant be replaced
who would've thought that annalise already knew wes and michaela here? 😭😭😭 i miss them so much
Who here after final episode??
Me..😭😭😢😢
We only get to know this in the later seasons how Annalise had chosen her Keating 4 or 5 in advance for personal gain. Loved this part.
She really sucked at explaining what mens rea means. She just translated it into "guilty mind" which doesn't really tell you anything if you think about it.

It’s just a show🙄
Let's not forget that she's not a real lawyer, thank you smarty.
It's the exact Latin translation
I only came here to see her walk😂😂tik tok brought me here
Me too!!! 👍😝😂😂
after this video I had to immediately watch the show
Wait-list!! 😂😂😂😂 He was my favorite.
But what is wrong with that? I don't understand the embarrassment
Um was this inspired from the “your not prepared” scene from Legally Blonde??
lol probably.
1:43 the look on conners face 😂
So sexy...
This exactly why when professors make me buy non textbooks over the summer I read them hoes. I’m not about to get shamed on the first day 😂😂😂
Such a good introduction
I‘m law student and most classes are nothing like that 😂
This is actually class of forensic medicine 💊💉. These are running in 2055😅😅
Of course it wouldn’t. What the audience never understand is that films and TV shows are written in a technique that doesn’t really represent an entirety of reality, otherwise entertainment pieces will be boring, mundane and flat, very much like our own perception of reality.
"Day 1 and your unprepared!"
A good day to start a class 😂😆
Sad how time flies 😭
Omggg , Asher is soo soo young here😂😂😂 *RIP* ,poor him anyway.
Also Michaela and Conor are younger, i mean OFC. But Asher is the most remarkable
Well, did she really expect everyone to know everything even before the course officially began ,just because she emailed them ? What else will she do in the class then ? BTW Viola Davis was tremendous as Annaliese Keating . If HTGAWM was so interesting it is because of the way she played her role and the story.
QUEEEN 😂❤️
So bennet left daya to study criminal law???
3:19 ahh yanni is a pretty name
most relatable student
i know this Wesley G from Harry Potter if am not mistaken.. hmmmnn.. he is pretty cute..
The first students the proffeser choose to answer her questions was actually her choosing the main characters
This was probably the moment Wes developed his crush on Laurel but never admitted it ‘till he found his father
I love it so very much because it is amazingly.👍👍👍💓💓💓👍👍👌
Aww they all have baby faces 😭
"Michaela Pratt"
i loved her style. wish she was my teacher
That is an entrance
Aww They were so pure and I innocent.
Miss this show 💔
Pro tip. Don't listen to this lady or you will be disbarred and arrested.
I miss this show 😭
Annalise really is hard at Laurel, but before S5 kick off, she's super duper worried about her.
Why couldn’t they continued with this theme of the show like this instead of going crazy with one jumping shark after the other?!
Way too edgy for me this prof lol.
