- IS HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR THE MOST PROGRSIVE SHOW ON TELEVISN?ABC’S SOAPY NEW LEGAL THRILLER IS UNAAID OF DIVERSY, STRONG WOMEN, AND GAY SEX. WHICH MAK PRETTY IMPORTANT.BY RICHARD LAWSONOCTOBER 16, 2014PHOTO: ABC/MCH HAASETHSAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEI AM NOT A CIZEN OF SHONDALAND. I N TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MCSTEAMY AND MCDREAMY, I KNOW WHAT “EARN ME” AND “WE AND POPRN” MEAN, BUT ONLY BEE I’M ON TWTER AND ’S IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID THAT STUFF. I DO NOT PRAY AT THE CHURCH OF SHONDA RHIM, HOLY SAVR OF WORK TELEVISN, OR AT LEAST ABC, THOUGH SHE MAY BE. BUT THAT DO NOT MEAN THAT I N’T APPRECIATE ALL THAT SHE AND HER BRAND OF SNAPPY SOAP HAVE DONE FOR TELEVISN, FOR CULTURE, EVEN. HER NTRIBUTNS, HER ADVANCEMENTS, WHICH ARE ACTUALLY MYRIAD, MAY BE ON NO BETTER DISPLAY THAN ON THE NEW SERI SHE EXECUTIVE PRODUC, HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR. IN MANY WAYS ’S THE BOLST, NERVIT SHOW ON TELEVISN AT THE MOMENT. AND ’S ON ABC!CREATED BY FORMER GREY’S ANATOMY WRER PETER NOWALK, HTGAWM, AS ’S ACRONYMED, REPRENTS WHAT I HOPE WILL BE A SEA CHANGE BROADST TELEVISN. OBVLY, IS A RATHER LARGE TONE THAT THE SHOW’S STAR IS VLA DAVIS, A TWICE OSR-NOMATED ACTRS WHO FALLY HAS A NSE, KNOTTY LEAD ROLE TO NTEND WH. Y, ’S ON A SECRET HISTORY-QUE LAW SCHOOL THRILLER ABOUT SEX AND MURR, BUT WHO R. THIS IS A 49-YEAR-OLD, DARK-SKNED BLACK WOMAN LEADG A SHOW ON A BIG BROADST WORK ONE OF THE BT TIME SLOTS ON THE SCHLE. TENAC LAW PROFSOR/TRIAL LAWYER ANNALISE KEATG HAS AGENCY AND PTH; SHE HAS AN ACTIVE, NFLICTED SEX LIFE, SHE SCHEM, SHE CHAMPNS, IS BOTH NOBLE AND FLAWED. THAT KD OF CHARACTER IS A RARE FD FOR DAVIS, WHO SPE HER NSIRABLE TALENTS AND JUILLIARD PEDIGREE HAS BEEN LARGELY PHED TO ROL THAT OFFER SUPPORT OR DOLE OUT EXPOSN.SO HTGAWM IS REVOLUTNARY, Y REVOLUTNARY, THAT REGARD. BUT IS NOT NTENT TO JT DO ONE THG BOLDLY, TO FY ONE CREAKY, UGLY CULTURAL NORM. BRAZENLY, KEEPS GOG. THERE ARE TWO OTHER ACTORS OF LOR PLAYG LEADS ON THE SHOW, WHICH ALREADY MAK THE SERI ONE OF THE MORE DIVERSE ON THE BIG FOUR WORKS. BUT WA, THERE’S MORE! THERE’S ALSO A GAY CHARACTER, AND ’S THERE, FOR MY OWN SELFISH REASONS, THAT HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR REALLY UGHT MY ATTENTN. NOT BEE ’S SO RARE TO HAVE A GAY PERSON ON WORK TELEVISN THE DAYS, BUT BEE JACK FALAHEE’S AMB, UNRHAND CONNOR WALSH IS, LIKE DAVIS’S CHARACTER, ALLOWED TO BE BOTH GOOD AND BAD, SAT AND SNER. AND HE’S ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX. RATHER GRAPHILLY, GIVEN THE NTEXT.IN THE FIRST EPISO, CONNOR SC A MAN TO GET A LEG UP ONE OF ANNALISE’S S. IN THE SEND EPISO HE RETURNS FOR MORE, BUT JT FOR FUN. AND HE SAYS TO HIS NQUT, “THIS TIME I DO YOU.” WHICH, OF URSE, REFERS PRETTY EXPLICLY TO MECHANIL MATTERS OF GAY SEX A WAY THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE ON A NON-BLE CHANNEL. EVEN ON BLE, SUCH ALLNS REMA PRETTY TABOO. (NOT EVEN HOE OF CARDS DARED VENTURE TO HOW, EXACTLY, THAT SEND SEASON THREOME WENT DOWN.) BUT HERE IS THIS SHOW, ON BROADST PRIMETIME, REFERRG TO SUCH TIMATE THGS OUT THE OPEN, AS PLALY AS ANYTHG ELSE. AND CONNOR AND HIS HOOKUP KISS LIKE REAL PEOPLE KISS, WHICH NOWALK TOLD ME, A PHONE TERVIEW, IS FELY LIBERATE. "I ALWAYS TELL THE DIRECTORS, I DON’T WANT TO SEE TWO MEN MASHG THEIR FAC TOGETHER. IT’S NOT A WRTLG MATCH. I WANT TO FEEL LIKE REAL KISSG, LIKE THEY’RE ACTUALLY KISSG. … FOR ME WATCHG [OTHER SHOWS], PECIALLY WHEN A STRAIGHT ACTOR IS PLAYG GAY, YOU DON’T BELIEVE THE KISSG. THEIR LIPS ARE TOUCHG BUT ’S MORE LIKE A FACE MASHG." THAT LEVEL OF NSCNS ABOUT HOW ACCURATE, HOW REAL, GAY TIMACY LOOKS ON TELEVISN IS RARE. (LOOK AT THE LIMPLY ADDRSED GAY PLOTLE ON ABC'S OWN NASHVILLE, FOR EXAMPLE.)I’LL ADM THAT MY TERT THE CONNOR CHARACTER IS PARTLY ROOTED THE FACT THAT, Y, JACK FALAHEE IS A SUPER ATTRACTIVE GUY, AS WAS HIS SEXY SCENE PARTNER. AND REALLY, WHAT’S WRONG WH THAT? GOOD FOR NOWALK, AND RHIM (WHOSE GREY'S ANATOMY ADMIRABLY FEATUR PLEX LBIAN RELATNSHIPS), AND ABC FOR THROWG SOME NON-HETERO PEOPLE A BONE, SO TO SPEAK. (THOUGH, I’VE NO DOUBT THAT PLENTY OF NON-HETERO PEOPLE ARE ALSO TO THOSE MAKEOUT SCEN.)WHAT UGHT ME OFF GUARD, THOUGH, IS HOW ODDLY MOVED I’VE BEEN TO SEE HOW THE CONNOR CHARACTER FUNCTNS ON THE SHOW. BEE YOU FET HOW RARE IS TO SEE A PERSON LIKE YOURSELF (ALBE A WAY YOUNGER, SEXIER PERSON) KISS AND GET LAID AND JT BE GAY ON TV. I N TELL YOU OM FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE THAT GAY KIDS SEEK THIS STUFF OUT SPERATELY, WHILE THEIR STRAIGHT PEERS HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT ’S HARD TO FD, OR AT LEAST HAS BEEN THE PAST. THAT LACK OF REGNN IS A LONELY, ALIENATG FEELG, ONE THAT GETS PAFULLY TERNALIZED OVER THE YEARS. SO HTGAWM'S FORTHGNS ABOUT S GAY CHARACTER’S GAYNS, LIKE ’S NOT ONLY "NO BIG AL," BUT JT AS SEXY AS EVERYTHG ELSE, MAK THE SHOW SEEM, RATHER LIRLY, LIKE AN ARTIFACT OM A NEW WORLD. THIS IS A SHOW THAT HTS AT WHAT THE MOST MASTREAM OF TELEVISN ULD LOOK LIKE JT A FEW YEARS—OPEN, CLIVE, DIVERSE AN EASY, NATURAL WAY.MY STARTLED, EXCED REACTN TO THE CONNOR CHARACTER PROBABLY PAL PARISON TO HOW SOME VIEWERS, WHO HAVE WAED A LONG TIME TO SEE THEMSELV ONSCREEN, FEEL WATCHG VLA DAVIS MANDG EVERY SCENE, HEADLG EVERY PIECE OF MARKETG MATERIAL. THAT SHOULDN’T FEEL LIKE AS MUCH OF A REVOLUTN AS DO 2014. AND THAT THE SHOW IS SO OL ABOUT , DON’T REFERENCE S OWN PROGRSIVENS, S OWN DARG, MAK ALL THE MORE, WELL, MONUMENTAL.MOST POPULARSARA RAMIREZ ISSU STHG RPONSE TO ANTI–CHE DIAZ PROFILEBY SAVANNAH WALSHHOW LILY JAM AND JOE KEERY BEME OLD HOLLYWOOD INS FALLY DAWNBY DAVID CANFIELD2023 FALL PREVIEW: 46 FILMS TO WATCH OUT FORBY REBEC FORDPLENTY OF MORE EARNT SHOWS, OM SWCHED AT BIRTH TO GLEE, SERVE PRAISE FOR NSCIENTLY TRODUCG DIVERSY TO THE CULTURAL LANDSPE. BUT ’S ALSO GREAT TO SEE THAT PNS TOSSED ASI FOR SOMETHG A LTLE GRTIER, MORE SORDID, LS NCERNED WH BEG GOOD AND RPONSIBLE. IT’S EEG, LOOSENS THGS UP, RELIEV THE TOO-HEAVY BURN OF UNNTROVERSIAL PURY. WHEN GLEE HAD S BIG LOSG-VIRGY EPISO A UPLE SEASONS BACK, THERE WAS NO TALK ABOUT HOW, Y’KNOW, THAT WAS GOG TO WORK, EXACTLY, FOR KURT AND BLAE, WHICH IS A NVERSATN THOSE KIDS FELY WOULD HAVE HAD REAL LIFE. HTGAWM, ON THE OTHER HAND, THROWS RIGHT THERE, PS BE DAMNED, AND SO DOG ALMOST FORC A NEW PERSPECTIVE. THE SHOW MOV SO QUICKLY AND SO UNAPOLOGETILLY THAT THE DIENCE DON’T HAVE A CHANCE TO PROCS AND REJECT, JT NS ALONG AFTER THE NARRATIVE. PROGRS DON’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE REFUL AND HAND-HOLDG, THIS SERI SHOWS .HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR IS NOT FOR EVERYONE, WH ALL S SCY BANTER AND NVENIENT, OVERLY SIMPLIFIED LEGAL GYMNASTICS. THE SHOW BEG FORWARD-THKG AND CLIVE AN EXCGLY ANIC WAY DON’T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO LIKE , OR WATCH . BUT I HOPE THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO WOULDN’T NORMALLY WA TO THE ABC THURSDAY NIGHT LP WATERS MIGHT GIVE HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR A CHANCE. BEE ’S DOG SOMETHG PRETTY REMARKABLE, SOMETHG THAT FEELS BIG AND IMPORTANT AND NOTEWORTHY, THE OLT AND MOST SUAL OF WAYS. FRANKLY, FEELS GREAT TO WATCH—’S RIGHTEO, SEXY, EVEN HEARTENG. IT’S ALSO, Y’KNOW, PRETTY DANG ENTERTAG. THAT STILL MATTERS ON TELEVISN TOO, AFTER ALL.RICHARD LAWSON

I N TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MCSTEAMY AND MCDREAMY, I KNOW WHAT “EARN ME” AND “WE AND POPRN” MEAN, BUT ONLY BEE I’M ON TWTER AND ’S IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID THAT STUFF. I DO NOT PRAY AT THE CHURCH OF SHONDA RHIM, HOLY SAVR OF WORK TELEVISN, OR AT LEAST ABC, THOUGH SHE MAY BE. BUT THAT DO NOT MEAN THAT I N’T APPRECIATE ALL THAT SHE AND HER BRAND OF SNAPPY SOAP HAVE DONE FOR TELEVISN, FOR CULTURE, EVEN. HER NTRIBUTNS, HER ADVANCEMENTS, WHICH ARE ACTUALLY MYRIAD, MAY BE ON NO BETTER DISPLAY THAN ON THE NEW SERI SHE EXECUTIVE PRODUC, HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR. IN MANY WAYS ’S THE BOLST, NERVIT SHOW ON TELEVISN AT THE MOMENT. AND ’S ON ABC!CREATED BY FORMER GREY’S ANATOMY WRER PETER NOWALK, HTGAWM, AS ’S ACRONYMED, REPRENTS WHAT I HOPE WILL BE A SEA CHANGE BROADST TELEVISN. OBVLY, IS A RATHER LARGE TONE THAT THE SHOW’S STAR IS VLA DAVIS, A TWICE OSR-NOMATED ACTRS WHO FALLY HAS A NSE, KNOTTY LEAD ROLE TO NTEND WH. Y, ’S ON A SECRET HISTORY-QUE LAW SCHOOL THRILLER ABOUT SEX AND MURR, BUT WHO R. THIS IS A 49-YEAR-OLD, DARK-SKNED BLACK WOMAN LEADG A SHOW ON A BIG BROADST WORK ONE OF THE BT TIME SLOTS ON THE SCHLE. TENAC LAW PROFSOR/TRIAL LAWYER ANNALISE KEATG HAS AGENCY AND PTH; SHE HAS AN ACTIVE, NFLICTED SEX LIFE, SHE SCHEM, SHE CHAMPNS, IS BOTH NOBLE AND FLAWED. THAT KD OF CHARACTER IS A RARE FD FOR DAVIS, WHO SPE HER NSIRABLE TALENTS AND JUILLIARD PEDIGREE HAS BEEN LARGELY PHED TO ROL THAT OFFER SUPPORT OR DOLE OUT EXPOSN.SO HTGAWM IS REVOLUTNARY, Y REVOLUTNARY, THAT REGARD. BUT IS NOT NTENT TO JT DO ONE THG BOLDLY, TO FY ONE CREAKY, UGLY CULTURAL NORM. BRAZENLY, KEEPS GOG. THERE ARE TWO OTHER ACTORS OF LOR PLAYG LEADS ON THE SHOW, WHICH ALREADY MAK THE SERI ONE OF THE MORE DIVERSE ON THE BIG FOUR WORKS. BUT WA, THERE’S MORE! THERE’S ALSO A GAY CHARACTER, AND ’S THERE, FOR MY OWN SELFISH REASONS, THAT HOW TO GET AWAY WH MURR REALLY UGHT MY ATTENTN. NOT BEE ’S SO RARE TO HAVE A GAY PERSON ON WORK TELEVISN THE DAYS, BUT BEE JACK FALAHEE’S AMB, UNRHAND CONNOR WALSH IS, LIKE DAVIS’S CHARACTER, ALLOWED TO BE BOTH GOOD AND BAD, SAT AND SNER. AND HE’S ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX. RATHER GRAPHILLY, GIVEN THE NTEXT.IN THE FIRST EPISO, CONNOR SC A MAN TO GET A LEG UP ONE OF ANNALISE’S S. IN THE SEND EPISO HE RETURNS FOR MORE, BUT JT FOR FUN. AND HE SAYS TO HIS NQUT, “THIS TIME I DO YOU.” WHICH, OF URSE, REFERS PRETTY EXPLICLY TO MECHANIL MATTERS OF GAY SEX A WAY THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE ON A NON-BLE CHANNEL. EVEN ON BLE, SUCH ALLNS REMA PRETTY TABOO. (NOT EVEN HOE OF CARDS DARED VENTURE TO HOW, EXACTLY, THAT SEND SEASON THREOME WENT DOWN.) BUT HERE IS THIS SHOW, ON BROADST PRIMETIME, REFERRG TO SUCH TIMATE THGS OUT THE OPEN, AS PLALY AS ANYTHG ELSE. AND CONNOR AND HIS HOOKUP KISS LIKE REAL PEOPLE KISS, WHICH NOWALK TOLD ME, A PHONE TERVIEW, IS FELY LIBERATE. "I ALWAYS TELL THE DIRECTORS, I DON’T WANT TO SEE TWO MEN MASHG THEIR FAC TOGETHER. IT’S NOT A WRTLG MATCH. I WANT TO FEEL LIKE REAL KISSG, LIKE THEY’RE ACTUALLY KISSG. … FOR ME WATCHG [OTHER SHOWS], PECIALLY WHEN A STRAIGHT ACTOR IS PLAYG GAY, YOU DON’T BELIEVE THE KISSG. THEIR LIPS ARE TOUCHG BUT ’S MORE LIKE A FACE MASHG." THAT LEVEL OF NSCNS ABOUT HOW ACCURATE, HOW REAL, GAY TIMACY LOOKS ON TELEVISN IS RARE. (LOOK AT THE LIMPLY ADDRSED GAY PLOTLE ON ABC'S OWN NASHVILLE, FOR EXAMPLE.)I’LL ADM THAT MY TERT THE CONNOR CHARACTER IS PARTLY ROOTED THE FACT THAT, Y, JACK FALAHEE IS A SUPER ATTRACTIVE GUY, AS WAS HIS SEXY SCENE PARTNER. AND REALLY, WHAT’S WRONG WH THAT? GOOD FOR NOWALK, AND RHIM (WHOSE GREY'S ANATOMY ADMIRABLY FEATUR PLEX LBIAN RELATNSHIPS), AND ABC FOR THROWG SOME NON-HETERO PEOPLE A BONE, SO TO SPEAK. (THOUGH, I’VE NO DOUBT THAT PLENTY OF NON-HETERO PEOPLE ARE ALSO TO THOSE MAKEOUT SCEN.)WHAT UGHT ME OFF GUARD, THOUGH, IS HOW ODDLY MOVED I’VE BEEN TO SEE HOW THE CONNOR CHARACTER FUNCTNS ON THE SHOW. BEE YOU FET HOW RARE IS TO SEE A PERSON LIKE YOURSELF (ALBE A WAY YOUNGER, SEXIER PERSON) KISS AND GET LAID AND JT BE GAY ON TV. I N TELL YOU OM FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE THAT GAY KIDS SEEK THIS STUFF OUT SPERATELY, WHILE THEIR STRAIGHT PEERS HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT ’S HARD TO FD, OR AT LEAST HAS BEEN THE PAST. THAT LACK OF REGNN IS A LONELY, ALIENATG FEELG, ONE THAT GETS PAFULLY TERNALIZED OVER THE YEARS. SO HTGAWM'S FORTHGNS ABOUT S GAY CHARACTER’S GAYNS, LIKE ’S NOT ONLY "NO BIG AL," BUT JT AS SEXY AS EVERYTHG ELSE, MAK THE SHOW SEEM, RATHER LIRLY, LIKE AN ARTIFACT OM A NEW WORLD. THIS IS A SHOW THAT HTS AT WHAT THE MOST MASTREAM OF TELEVISN ULD LOOK LIKE JT A FEW YEARS—OPEN, CLIVE, DIVERSE AN EASY, NATURAL WAY.MY STARTLED, EXCED REACTN TO THE CONNOR CHARACTER PROBABLY PAL PARISON TO HOW SOME VIEWERS, WHO HAVE WAED A LONG TIME TO SEE THEMSELV ONSCREEN, FEEL WATCHG VLA DAVIS MANDG EVERY SCENE, HEADLG EVERY PIECE OF MARKETG MATERIAL. THAT SHOULDN’T FEEL LIKE AS MUCH OF A REVOLUTN AS DO 2014.

Such attempts to move gay characters out of the trop of the “effemate gay bt iend” have proved succsful on both basic and premium ble shows, most notably the early years of ble on Six Feet Unr and Queer as Folk, and more recently on Orphan Black and Lookg. While ble has been ahead more dimensnal portrayals of gay characters, a character like Connor Walsh is near revelatory for a work show. Connor Walsh transcends gay stereotyp by not havg his sexualy pned on him superficially, allowg him to act and behave like his straight unterparts.
While a straight male character would simply be referred to as a jock or playboy, the show’s willgns to pict Connor’s sexualy risks both fetishizg and enforcg new stereotyp upon gayns. Instead of humanizg the gay experience, HTGAWM risks merely sexualizg the gay experience, movg the portrayed stereotyp om the “effemate gay bt iend” to “oversexed and lackg self-ntrol.
However, the humanizatn of gayns nnot only be achieved through sexualizatn; there has to be a more balanced and thoughtful approach to tellg gay stori.
