TV preview: It's 'Murder,' but have fun with it

ABC's "How to Get Away with Murder" comes to us from the producers of "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy" — which is a good thing. This new series, about a tough defense attorney/law professor (Viola Davis, right) who, along with her students, gets caught up in a murder case is outrageous, but that's more than half the fun.
