'The most addictive thriller on TV' is finally made free to stream after shock Netflix axe that left fans furious

Daily Mail​4 days ago
A hugely addictive thriller has finally been made free to stream after its shock axe from Netflix that left fans seething.
The streaming giant removed the hit show, which has a respectable 88% Rotten Tomatoes score, last year.
However, How To Get Away With Murder has now been made available to stream once again - and even for free.
The smash-hit legal drama originally aired between 2014 and 2020, running for six seasons before its cancellation.
Viola Davis plays the lead role of defence attorney and professor Annalise Keating as the series follows her life.
As the drama unfolds, Annalise becomes caught up in a murder plot that involves five of her students.
In 2015, Davis became the first African American to win an Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series.
How To Get Away With Murder has now officially landed on Channel 4's streaming site, which doesn't require a subscription.
Bosses have made all six seasons of the binge-watch worthy thriller available.
Critics have praised the series, with Entertainment Weekly previously calling it 'the most addictive new thriller on TV'.
Other stars in the series include Alfred Enoch, Matt McGorry, and Karla Souza, Jack Falahee, Aja Naomi King, Charlie Weber and Liza Weil.
Back in 2019 when it was confirmed the show would be ending, series creator and executive producer Pete Nowalk called ending the show a 'brutal decision,' but said the story demanded it.
'For me, Annalise Keating's journey has always had a clear ending,' Nowalk said in a statement.
'Knowing I have 15 episodes left to finish her story, and the chance to give all the characters their own killer endings is a rare gift.'
One thriller fan wrote in the Netflix Bangers Facebook group about the show: 'I'm quite lost after Dexter: New Blood. Honest review please, if you have seen this one' alongside a poster of How To Get Away With Murder.
Others commented that they were going to be re-watching the show and labelled it 'amazing' while other's added: 'It's a must-watch from me, sooo good'.
Another wrote: 'Really good, you won't be disappointed, loved this show';
'Yes, it is so good!'; 'Very intriguing', and 'I couldn't stop watching!'
Some fans even confessed they had watched it three times while another said: 'This is so addictive, absolutely brilliant'.
Meanwhile, a 'fascinating and suspenseful' Netflix thriller has left fans gripped with a 'psychopathic' leading man and a 'dark' twist.
The Occupant first hit screens back in 2020 and is available to watch on the streaming platform.
Back in 2019 when it was confirmed the show would be ending, series creator and executive producer Pete Nowalk called ending the show a 'brutal decision,' but said the story demanded it
It follows unemployed advertising executive Javier Muñoz (Javier Gutiérrez) who becomes obsessed with the new tenants of the home he had to give up.
However, things take a horrifying twist when 'his motives toward the family turn sinister,' according to the synopsis.
Despite only having a modest 65% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, The Occupant has still managed to collect plenty of praise from fans.
High On Films penned: 'The main reason why The Occupant works is Javier Gutierrez's dedicated performance as the psychopathic, dejected advertiser who would go to any heights to get what he wants.'

Love Island star dumped by millionaire boyfriend AGAIN as friends reveal brutal reason behind split

LOVE Island star Kady McDermott has been dumped by her millionaire boyfriend again – with friends thinking he can make the most of single life during the summer season. The Love Island All Star, who first found fame on series two of the ITV2 favourite, has been with Henry Simmons since September 2024 – though the pair have had a string of make-ups and break-ups since. 6 6 However, after confirming their romance was back on once again in April, insiders have told The Sun Online they have already split, this time with Henry doing the dumping. A source told The Sun Online: 'Henry and Kady have had their ups and downs since they started dating. "Henry called things off again a couple of weeks ago for the summer. Kady's friends are convinced he just does things like this so he can enjoy a single summer. "He's been accused of cheating on her in the past and she took him back - and she'll no doubt give it another go again once he comes crawling back." The source added: "Her friends are worried about her but she's smitten - and loves the lifestyle that comes with dating Henry.' The Sun Online has reached out to Kady's reps for comment. Henry, 25, was a former cast member of Absolutely Ascot, gaining a reputation on the show as a bad boy. He is the heir to a wealthy property developer, and enjoys a lavish lifestyle including multiple luxury getaways. Kady started dating Henry shortly after her split from Ouzy See, who she got together with during a stint in Love Island All Stars. Just three months after he started dating Kady, she made it clear in December that she was on the outs with Henry – even declaring she was "done with men". Kady McDermott's New Romance Unveiled! She publicly accused him of cheating on her by telling her TikTok followers: "I caught two girls leaving his house Saturday morning whilst he was in his boxers. "I'm definitely not the problem." She later added: "No matter how good you are to someone you can't change their bad morals unfortunately." However, by December she was posting pictures in his Ferrari, signalling they were back on. Kady McDermott's Love Life KADY McDermott has split from her reality TV boyfriend Henry Simmons. Here we put her love life under the spotlight. Kady returned to Love Island last year to find a new man and started dating footballer Ouzy See, but they split shortly after leaving the villa. The bikini babe first found fame when she appeared on Love Island in the summer of 2016. It was there she met now ex-boyfriend Scott Thomas, and the pair went on to finish in third place. After leaving the villa, they tried to make ago of it, but split not long after. Kady's next serious boyfriend was when she got together with Towie star Myles Barnett in 2018. They split several times during their rocky romance, and finally confirmed that it was all over in 2021. Despite their on/off relationship, they spent thousands renovating their home into a swish two storey house with six bedrooms. Kady then enjoyed a brief romance with footballer Matty Cash but they also ended up going their separate ways. She started dating the sports star in summer 2022 but the couple struggled to make the relationship work long-term. A source said at the time: 'Kady and Matty had a really good couple of months but decided they weren't right for each other. 'They are still mates and keep in touch, but there's nothing romantic anymore. They had both just got out of long term romances when they got together so might not have been ready.' The Sun exclusively revealed how Kady was dating 30-year-old Londoner Liam Greer for more than a year before returning to Love Island. 6 6 6

I covered live music for the BBC. Here's how to fix its disastrous Glastonbury coverage

As the dust still settles on Somerset, it is looking likely that Glastonbury 2025 will be remembered less for sunshine, champagne-swilling celebs or even for stellar sets than for another cack-handed attempt at censorship by the BBC. Is that really fair? Well… BBC bosses, always so desperate to signal that their fingers are firmly on the pulse of popular culture and the latest cutting edge technology, literally took their eyes off the box. Instead, they were gazing at live-streaming. It's the future. Or it was. Because with it the BBC forgot its role – to provide public service broadcasting. To select what to show and programme it accordingly for the enjoyment of their TV and radio audiences. It lost control. Music festivals are bound to be an absolute minefield for the BBC. They are not strictly structured and controlled like, say, a football tournament. Imagine if a player on the pitch at the World Cup was wired for sound. You couldn't control their language. You couldn't edit out the rude bits, stop matches or choose not to show them altogether. You can't control front musicians with mics, and egos bigger than that of the entire baying crowd, either. I'm thinking of Snoop Dogg on the Pyramid Stage one afternoon at Glasto, clutching his crotch while rapping that women are asking to be f---d and demanding: 'What's my motherf---ing name?' You can't tame them. And you shouldn't try. Bands shouldn't fear having their collar felt when they're in full flow because of an off remark between songs. I'm not talking about mouthing off at a mob and inciting to kill by the way. Glastonbury has always been billed as celebrating counter-culture and promoting protest and provocation. But then the BBC gets involved with its remit to reflect popular culture, desperate to get down with the kids and yet to comply with the law of the land. On top of the BBC Charter, Ofcom, the BBC Board, its own editorial guidelines and compliance policy, and the court of public opinion constantly on its back. What are the dozens of Auntie execs on site supposed to do? How about spending less time being starstruck in the VIP hospitality tent? Get out into where the music, and possible trouble, is being made. The BBC's role and responsibility is not to host the freeloaders. It is to be selective. Since 1997, when the BBC took Glastonbury on, this has often left those licence payers on the sofa in front of the set furious if their favourite act doesn't show up in the schedules. The excuse has been time constraints and limited resources. The suspicion is that their heroes were at odds with Auntie's agenda. You know, DEI and all that. But now there's no time restraint on how much or what can be shown and, with the BBC eager to exploit the endless possibilities provided by the latest technology, it has slavishly committed to showing everything from everywhere on site. I was at another festival on Saturday where, backstage, the bands were being given written instructions on how to behave. The organisers, Labour-controlled Coventry city council, (40 of 54 seats) demanded that performers refrained from: using language that may be deemed offensive; making political statements; references to political, religious or other affiliated groups to be categorised as unlawful or hate speech of any kind; or the show could be stopped. One band blurted out: 'It's not like Glastonbury is it, where they tell you to be political and provocative? We refused and got banned for four years.' Another band told me that they fell out of favour at Worthy Farm back in the 1970s when they refused to vocally support nuclear disarmament on stage when Glastonbury was championing and donating to CND. They have only played there once since and that was only when their agent agreed to supply them and Worthy Farm favourites The Worzels as a package. Let's not forget, the BBC does not book these bands. It does not curate the festival. But did nobody at the BBC anticipate that an artist with previous for inciting violence and murder from festival stages might kick off – especially as he was the warm-up act for a band they had already very publicly and controversially banned? Had anyone done their homework? BBC bosses still can't seem to explain why they banned Kneecap – a bunch of blokes from Belfast with their Irish 'rebel' music, one of the boys wearing a tea cosy on his head that his mammy probably knitted for him – and yet they let loose Bob Vylan, two self-styled punks who also had form at recent festivals. Was anybody monitoring the live stream as it went out? Was anybody of the right pay grade around to pull it? Were the production staff all ignorant, incompetent or deviant? We deserve to be told which exec on site on the day and on a six-figure salary was responsible for fulfilling their main responsibility to provide an impartial public service. It's not enough to say: 'The livestream was monitored in line with the agreed compliance protocols and a number of issues were escalated but the editorial team decided not to cut the feed.' Or even to admit: 'That was an error.' The track record of production staff handling live situations has often been a bit hit and miss. My friend who was a very busy BBC head of complaints told me this week: 'Of course it's always easier with a presenter on hand to deal immediately with a situation.' DJ Bruno Brookes and I learnt this very quickly in 1980s Ireland. Another band of angry young men were set on causing mayhem at our Radio 1 Roadshow in Ulster's second city. All the advice we'd been given before we anxiously took to the stage, overlooked by paramilitaries perched on the city walls, was to alternate the name Derry with Londonderry. The bosses were confident that would keep all those sectarians on side, and were very relaxed even when the producer shoved a bloke up from the crowd to be our competition contestant, handed him a mic, and he immediately launched into a rant about the British and their political prisoners, chanting: 'Free The Birmingham Six!' The crowd went wild. And not in a good way. 'Fantastic. You've won, mate. Liz, give him a goody bag. Let's get him off the stage. More fun from Northern Ireland after Rick Astley!' A few years ago a legend of punk was suggested for an 'in conversation' at the 6 Music festival. On stage he was straight into character. Anarchic effing and blinding, and fantastically funny. The audience in the venue were lapping it up as he slagged off his rivals. but particularly when he explained that he had chosen his famous instrument because 'it's an extension of my penis'. All this apparently offended nobody in the room. Except our producer. It was all too rock'n'roll for radio. So it was duly sent off to be considered by the compliance committee. It took nearly a week for a ruling to come back. But it was well worth the wait. 'His penis is fine. That can stay in. But there are to be no f---s under any circumstances.' BBC bosses have now announced that they won't be live-streaming the festival. Ever again. Good. Let Glastonbury do it themselves. As I'm sure Michael Eavis knows, Karl Marx said that 'the workers must have the means of production'. Eavis has certainly got the means. So just dent those multimillion annual profits with a few cameras and a website. Crack on. Then sit back and broadcast whatever you've booked. And you deal with the er…mud… when it hits the fan.
