This page explores various ways certain storytelling and editing techniques, including flashbacks and suspense, are used to support the story throughout season one of “How to Get Away with Murder.”

Flashbacks

In each episode, the flashbacks are told from a different character’s perspective, telling the same story in the end but from different viewpoints. This gives us an opportunity for greater insight into each individual personality. We then see via the episodes how these personalities fit into the final murder. We travel in weeks starting from seven weeks before the murder and work our way back to present day.
