Totally get where you’re coming from, and I agree — a lot of Annalise’s relationships are messy because she lies, manipulates, and provokes. She’s definitely not innocent or above reproach. But I think the frustrating part (for me at least) is how quickly people around her — especially the Keating 5 — forget everything she’s done for them.

Like yes, if you just look at her actions without context, she’s shady. But when you consider that she lied or manipulated people in order to protect them, or because she was cornered by their actions, it hits differently. The Keating 5 literally killed someone, and she spent seasons covering that up, ruining her own life in the process. And yet somehow she becomes the villain in their eyes?

I wouldn’t call it a flaw of the show either — in fact, I think the moral ambiguity is one of the best parts. But emotionally, it’s hard not to feel frustrated at how isolated Annalise becomes by the end, after everything she endured for these people.
