The Catch
6 Shows Like How to Get Away With Murder
Another Rhimes brainchild, The Catch is a comedy first, drama (distant) second, but that doesn’t discredit its viability on the storytelling front. It centers on private investigator Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos), who falls victim to fraud at the hands of her fiancé (Peter Krause). Between her cases, she attempts to unravel his deception and clear her name. The tenuous balance between trying to juggle the chaos of her life makes for engrossing and funny content, and as the sheer scope of the situation is revealed, each new chapter becomes more addictive than the last.
The myriad of plot twists that surface keeps viewers on their toes, but for some, the casting of the show’s central pair never quite clicked, and the tone took a definite turn towards playful levity in its second season. Canceled before we could see a third, it nevertheless serves as another example of what has made Rhimes famous, and for that reason, is likely to delight fans of How to Get Away With Murder.
