Fangirl Friday: The Hotties of How To Get Away With Murder

By -
Many months ago Zee told me that I should be watching How To Get Away With Murder, but the
season was far enough along that I couldn't get all of the episodes on Hulu, and it wasn't yet on Netflix, so I decided to wait until I could watch the whole season in one shot. When Netflix finally got the first season, I did, indeed, watch the whole thing in one shot--four days to be exact. And now I am completely, utterly hooked. It is my favorite thing on television at the moment.

HTGAWM is such a spectacular, flawless show that there are a million posts we could write, each about different facets of its perfection, but today I'm going to focus on the shallowest of reasons that this show is amazing--the stellar Man Candy. Whoever does the casting for this show is a person after our Wenchy hearts, because not only are the men gorgeous (you'll see) but their characters are smart, funny, flawed, and just all-around great. Even when they're despicable they're still great. And still gorgeous.

So come with me through the jump as we look at the men of How To Get Away With Murder. With plenty of visuals. Happy Friday, Saucy Readers!



Billy Brown

When I started watching the show, one of the first things Zee asked me was whether I had seen Nate without a shirt yet. Well, there is a fabulous scene in the very first episode in which Billy Brown is performing topless.
We know nothing about Nate at this point (the first episode), but we definitely want to know more. Boy howdy. We learn that he's a very ripped police officer, with a toe-curling voice who can read us bedtime stories any time he wants.


Alfred Enoch

HTGAWM is definitely an ensemble show, but Wes Gibbons takes center stage for much of season 1. An adorable, somewhat goofy transfer student who Annalise takes a shine to, Wes is always at the center of trouble. And looking mighty fine doing it.
But we're certain those dimples combined with his wit and charm can get him out of any scrape.

Jack Falahee

Like so many characters, you think you have Connor pegged as the shallow, pretty, rich kid who screws around with every boy he meets, but he actually ended up surprising me. Not only for his depth, loyalty, growth, and sense of humor. But also because his love scenes with all the guest guys were freakin hot.

Even when he shouldn't be doing it and it leads to nothing good...still ridiculous hot.

Conrad Ricamora

Introduced as someone Connor screws to help him get information on a case, Oliver becomes so much more. Self-deprecating and sweet, I wasn't swept away by Oliver at first, but he grew on me. And now I love him.
And I love how adorable Connor and Oliver are together, how much they've been through together in such a short time. Also, how frickin hot they are. Yes, please.

Matt McGorry

Asher is yet another spoiled rich kid working for Annalise, and he comes across as obnoxious and annoying. But we're finally learning that there's more to Asher. I've been following Matt McGorry since I found him on OITNB, but I fell head-over-heels for him (as did every woman in America) because of his hell yes! posts and tweets about female empowerment and positivity. Here's a bunch of Asher, because he's so delightfully ridiculous...


Charlie Weber

Here's my confession: I made this whole post so that I could GIF-hunt and post about the exquisite Frank Delfino, played by the foine Charlie Weber. I am not usually a fan of a full beard, but Frank's three-piece suits and quiet badassery have had me completely hooked, a whimpering mess since I binged-watched this show. Here's a little taste of why Frank Delfino is my newest fictional boyfriend.

Okay, last Frank treat. Because I could get lost in Frank GIFs all day long. But I won't. This is epic, although maybe a teeny bit spoilery if you haven't started S2 yet. Only mildly, though. And hot with a twist at the end. Enjoy Charlie/Frank's toe-curling voice.

Hope you've enjoyed your Friday treat, Saucy Readers. If you haven't watched HTGAWM, Zee and I can't recommend it highly enough. I assure you, the ladies are every bit a gorgeous and fierce and the gents, and the stories are absolutely riveting. Are you as hooked as we are?

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -
Image
Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s
