- How to Get Away with Murder is a narrative complex show‚ falling on “a continuum [rather] than [in] an either/or situation" between episodic and serial programs (Kozloff‚ 71). Similar to the show Alias‚ which "offered a strong example of narrative complexity‚ juggling both ongoing and episodic stories of espionage with arcs of relationship dramas mapped onto both family and spy politics‚" How to Get Away with Murder will contain ongoing and episodic elements (Mittell‚ 61).

Analysis of Pulp Fiction by Alan Stone Alan Stone states his thesis as “Pulp Fiction is already building a cult following‚ even as its mother-fucker language and graphic violence offends others” (610).
