'Addictive' TV thriller is finally completely free to binge on UK streamer
A 'riveting and addictive' legal thriller is streaming for free right now (Picture: Disney General Entertainment Con) A legal drama thriller from legendary producer Shonda Rhimes is now available to binge in full for free. First hitting screens in 2014, How to Get Away with Murder was produced by Rhimes, best known for working on other shows including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Bridgerton and The Residence. The show – which ran for six seasons before ending in 2020 – followed Annalise Keating (Viola Davis), a defence attorney and law professor at a prestigious university in Philadelphia who becomes entangled in a murder plot with five of her students. The cast also included Alfred Enoch, Jack Falahee, Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, and Karla Souza as Annalise's students, while Charlie Weber and Liza Weil played her employees. Last year fans of the series were left devastated when it was removed from Netflix, with one declaring it was being 'snatched away' from them. But now, nearly eight months later, it's available again for UK viewers. Even better – it's also streaming for free on Channel 4. How to Get Away with Murder ran from 2014 until 2020 and starred Viola Davis (Picture: Disney General Entertainment Con) How to Get Away with Murder boasts an impressive 88% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes. When reviewing the first season, the Associated Press wrote: 'Murder promises to be twisty, wicked, dark and fun. And it stars Viola Davis, who brings life to a character of endless calculations and mystery.' 'The most addictive new thriller on TV,' Entertainment Weekly declared. 'Smart, slick and sexy, How to Get Away with Murder might be your new obsession,' the Boston Herald added. It also picked up many fans as soon as it started, with some calling it 'riveting', 'addictive' and 'captivating'. It followed a legal professor who got wrapped up in a murder plot with her students (Picture: Disney General Entertainment Con) Many also praised Viola's 'magnetic presence'. 'Viola Davis is a powerful screen presence — almost too strong for TV. But she commands the small screen like few actors can,' the Baltimore Sun explained. The actress, who went on to also find success starring in The Help and Fences and Suicide Squad, received widespread critical acclaim for her performance in the series. She became the first Black woman to win a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding lead actress in a drama series, won two Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series, and was nominated for Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards. Viola's performance was called 'magnetic' (Picture: Lionel Hahn/ Getty Images) She previously spoke to Shondaland about how starring in How to Get Away with Murder marked a turning point in her career. 'I see Annalise as that point in my career where something switched. And what it did was wake me up to the value of using myself. And what I mean by that is that it changed the way people saw a Black woman,' she said. 'Every role that I got before this time, not that I wasn't extremely happy with those roles, and that's including the roles I had onstage, but they very much were roles that you could see me in. 'How to Get Away with Murder was thinking outside of the box. This was my way of subverting that narrative or that reality that we have of what a leading lady should look like, their sexuality should look like, womanhood should look like. It was my opportunity to just turn that on its head, and I had to because I was in the role. So, I could either play it like people expected me to play it, or I could really use myself and use what I know about life, and what I know womanhood to be, and sexuality to be, and Blackness to be — it was my way to just sort of inject my voice and my artistry.'

EastEnders stars Kat Slater and Alfie Moon to marry for THIRD time on soap 20 years after first tying the knot
The couple look far from overjoyed in these first-look pictures HERE FUMES THE BRIDE EastEnders stars Kat Slater and Alfie Moon to marry for THIRD time on soap 20 years after first tying the knot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS' Kat Slater struggles to veil her emotions as she marries Alfie Moon for a THIRD time. The on-off lovers, played by Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie, are set to tie the knot again more than two decades after first saying 'I do'. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Kat Slater and groom Alfie Moon on the Square Credit: BBC 7 The EastEnders couple getting married back in 2005 Credit: BBC In one of this week's episodes, Kat is stunned when Alfie pops the question – and planning for the big day soon begins. But trouble is quickly looming – and the couple look far from overjoyed in these first-look pictures. There is even a chance Kat may not go through with it. The couple first married in the 2003 Christmas special, with Kat's dream of a white wedding coming true thanks to a snow machine Alfie hired for the occasion. They were ripped apart a year later when Kat's jealous ex, Andy Hunter, threatened to kill Alfie unless Kat slept with him. The pair divorced then remarried in 2014 – but that didn't last either. Kat subsequently had a brief failed marriage to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) before reuniting with Alfie. Let's hope it's third time lucky. EastEnders legend goes viral on TikTok with 16 year old clip from fitness DVD that's leaving fans HORRIFIED 7 Kat Slater struggles to veil her emotions as she marries Alfie Credit: BBC JAMIE: ENEMIES? GORD NO 7 Jamie Oliver has assured fans his long-running feud with Gordon Ramsay is not back on Credit: Disney General Entertainment Con DESPITE describing Gordon Ramsay as a 'psychopath' in a viral social media clip earlier this year, Jamie Oliver has assured fans their long-running feud is not back on. The chefs fell out in 2009 when Gordon referred to his TV rival as a 'one-pot wonder', later labelling him a 'mere cook'. Jamie hit back that the Hell's Kitchen hothead was 'jealous' of his career and was 'too busy shouting and screaming'. But Jamie has now told The Sunday Times Magazine: 'Me and Gordon are absolutely friends – our little berating decade is behind us. 'He's smashing life at the moment. He's doing things that no chef has ever done. 'We're on good terms, and long may it continue.' GRACE IS BURGER QUEEN 7 Celebrity MasterChef judge Grace Dent has some surprising secret tastes Credit: Getty SHE has dined at some of the world's top restaurants and is known for her withering put-downs of poor cuisine. But Celebrity MasterChef judge Grace Dent – tipped to replace Gregg Wallace when the show returns later this year – actually has some surprising secret tastes. She told Scott Mills on the Mercedes-Benz Vans Under the Bonnet podcast: 'I do love fast food, especially in service stations. People go, 'Oh I hate Burger King it's horrible.' But it's not. It's delicious. 'You can't put a price on stopping at a bog-standard service station at 11am.' But Grace admits she can't really do it now, due to her links with posh nosh. She said: 'People will just take photos of me because it's so comical.' BEEB HAS FAITH IN SPIN-OFF 7 The BBC's Pilgrimage is getting a spin-off which will start filming this month Credit: BBC THE Beeb's Faith show Pilgrimage has played host to some interesting stars over the years, from Christine McGuinness to Neil Morrissey. Now I can reveal it's getting a spin-off which will start filming this month. The programme's creators CTVC are working on the similar BBC project, which takes a deeper dive into religions and beliefs. The show has yet to get an official title but filming is set to wrap at the end of this summer – so it could be on our screens around this time next year. Pilgrimage has delivered steady ratings since it debuted in 2018 with its first adventure across Spain. Since then, it's taken a group of celebs on various treks in countries ranging from Italy and Turkey to Switzerland and Scotland. HARRY'S MAGIC PLAN 7 Harry Moulding has been thinking about what's next for him Credit: Shutterstock Editorial HARRY MOULDING is already thinking about the future after triumphing on Britain's Got Talent on Saturday. The magician says his journey began when he was 11 years old and a conjurer came to his school. From that point Harry reckoned he was Harry Potter. He said of his teachers: 'I used to get my cards confiscated in class because I constantly wanted to perform my magic tricks to school friends. 'I'm sorry to the teachers who had to deal with my magic antics, but I hope they can see it was all worth it now. I'm grateful to my school. 'With the money, perhaps I can open the magic school, a BGT Hogwarts, and Simon Cowell could be the Dumbledor of BGTWarts.' I think he should come up with a catchier name though. LOVE Island has added another hunk to its roster just days before the new series kicks off – Londoner Tommy Bradley. An insider said: 'He's a cheeky chappy who enjoys a night out with the lads. "He's packed on serious muscle – so he's not just a personality hire.' MORE than three years after it last aired, Stranger Things is returning to Netflix for its final series. Four new episodes of the show, starring Millie Bobby Brown, will appear in November, with three more out on Christmas Day followed by the finale on New Year's Eve.

Nowadays she's enjoying retirement and living a low-key life in Connecticut.

Life now is a far cry from the fashion flair of the seventies and her on-screen alter ego Tiffany Welles. Shelley joined hit show Charlie's Angels in 1979 as a replacement for original Angel, Kate Jackson. But her stint lasted just one season before she was dropped amid slumping ratings. A the time, Shelley didn't hold back in her criticism of the show's bosses. She claimed her axe wasn't about talent but telly politics. Shelley said in a statement: "They can say I didn't work out, but it isn't true. "What happened was a network war. A business decision was made. "Change the timeslot or bring on some new publicity. How to get publicity? A new Angel hunt. Seventies movie legend Julie Christie seen for the first time in eight years as she shops with her husband in London "Who is the obvious person to replace? I am — the new kid on the block." Shelley was then replaced by Bond girl Tanya Roberts in season five. While her Angel wings may have been clipped early, Shelley didn't disappear from showbiz. The former teenage model starred in Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy and cult horror flick The Stepfather. She continued to carve out a career behind the scenes, producing feel-good Hallmark Channel movies through the 2010s. Shelley married film director and university professor Harry Winer in 1990. Together they co-own production company Smash Media, working on Hallmark movies together. The couple have one child, daughter Devon Rose Winer. 8 She was a teenage model before joining the show Credit: Getty 8 Season Four stars pictured in 1979, Shelley Hack, Jaclyn Smith, David Doyle and Cheryl Ladd Credit: Disney General Entertainment Con
