I like it mostly and will keep watching. The nonlinear timeline can be redundant at times and that could get annoying. I am an impatient audience though. I want all the secrets upfront. But it seems there are a whole lotta secrets!
I think the characters are interesting but rather unlikable. The wide eyed student is likable but not interesting (yet). Also two sex scenes with the goofy IT guy in two consecutive eps was too much. Put more time into the cases/revealing motives!
The flashbacks are killing me! The Lila Stangard murder happened before any of this happened, right? Before the law school class happened? Before the students met each other?
I think they discovered her body after the law school class, like the shows real time? I could be wrong. I like it, but I'm confused. Who was the girl in the hotel room in the last scene?
If you consider the Lila murder the central story, it seems odd that Wes is both the new neighbor of a suspect AND a new student of a woman married to a suspect. And he is actively trying and succeeding to get both of them to trust him. It's almost as if his "wait listed" status is a cover so everyone underestimates him, including the audience as we benefit from the exposition the characters give him assuming he is a gutless newb. We've already been shown that he can lie and manipulate just as well as the rest of them in the get the body scenes and may have been the whole time (it is always the quiet ones as Annalise said).
I predict he's either a 21 Jump Street type plant or he's going to Keyser Soze this whole case. I mean he finds those scratches on his bedroom wall very interesting. Does he actually know why they are there??
I'm liking the show so far. However, I wonder about the setup (the flashbacks) and how long that can last. But I wondered the same thing about Lost, so show's what I know.

I was thinking the same thing "3 months? How long can this show possibly be".
though apparently it will only have 15-16 episodes per season. (According to Wikipedia)
@fredalina he could have developed real feelings while undercover (ala Ward and Skye in Agents of Shield), or protecting the neighbor girl is a means to an unknown end. And covering up more murder is pretty much a double agent cliche. You get your hands dirty to get info/ flush out a bigger threat/ deflect suspicion, etc.
Eta: or like Wadsworth said in Clue "I'm grateful to you all for disposing of my network of spies and informants. Now there's absolutely no evidence against me." Dun dun dun!
I want to like it, but I am impatient. The flashbacks are distracting/too much, and I'm annoyed by all the sex. I'll give it a few more episodes...I do think Wait-List Wes could be a plant or secretly in the middle of everything.

@mcbenny is u-verse on there?

I read too many mystery novels by the way.
