We get it.You're life is busy and your TV watching schedule is already pretty packed. So when a new show, like one from the mind of Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal) about a tough as nails law professor and her team of law students, you might not be inclined to invest the time to watch.

But then you started hearing rumblings of how it's an addictive, critically-acclaimed and entralling show. And then star Viola Davis wins the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portayl of Annalise Keating. And now you're asking, "How do I get into How to Get Away with Murder?" Well, don't worry because we're here to help.

First, some basics. The series, which centers on Annalise and her top five first year law students, who work as interns at her firm, does have some procedural elements with a typical a case-of-the-week every episode, BUT from the get-go the show uses flashbacks and flash-forwards surrounding a larger serialized plot involving the students covering up a crime themselves, with a new twist or two revealed during each entry. So you're going to have to watch from the beginning, in order, and not miss any epsodes.

Here's are some ways you can get hooked:

If You Start Watching Season One After Season Two Starts...


You can catch up on all of the first season and then pickup with season two on Hulu or ABC.GO.com. But you'll need to have finished the first season and make the jump to the current season by October 29. Hulu will only have the most recent five episodes available to stream, so when the sixth episode uploads on October 30 (the day after it airs), it'll begin pushing the start of the season out of availability.

If you aren't aren't caught up and ready to start the second season until after October 29, your best bet will be to buy the early season two episodes that expired from streaming on iTunes, where they sell for $2.99 a pop.

How to Get Away with Murder season two premieres Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
