and showcased Trump-era skulduggery while it was still just a twinkle in the Donald’s eye. And sexy legal thriller How to Get Away With Murder , which the Egot-winning actor Viola Davis credits with “putting me on the map”., which reimagines Regency-era London as a racially diverse rompathon, replete with acid-hued ballgowns and string quartet takes on Billie Eilish.
