9. A Good Old-Fashioned Foot-Job – How To Get Away With Murder
As Pulp Fiction made very clear, you don’t give anyone a foot massage without it being a precursor to sex (or an unexpressed desire for it to happen).
As How To Get Away With Murder proved, that’s very sound wisdom, given how erotically charged touching someone’s feet can be. Particularly if it’s done with a kind of stoic intensity, whispery, near-growled intent and a body chiseled out of actual marble.
This is foreplay as it’s very rarely shown on TV, a sort of furtive, pre-coital face-off, as Nate attempted to encourage Annalise to report her harassment to the police. That’s certainly one way to make her try and see sense.
Infamously, an earlier sex scene between the two saw Viola Davis put her back out after going for it a little too intensely, but this was all about restraint and the build.
