I personally have no problem watching the show as it just doesn't matter to me if I miss some detail. I'm not trying to figure out the mystery myself - I'm watching for enjoyment and for them to tell me. Not for it to become my life (thinking Lost or Star Trek fans). I admit that I do read EW recaps to keep fresh (and also to see if I actually WANT to watch an episode I may have missed.)
Somebody mentioned The Blacklist, and I found it demanded too much attention and stopped being fun last year. But, HTGAWM is still enjoyable to me because the flash forward promises something juicy will happen with the middle mystery of whether the siblings killed their parents. Another bonus is that HTGAWM also answers its questions and shouldn't keep us hanging long. Not sure how many episodes this season is, but I expect to find out who shot Annalise this year, which would lead into a different question for next.
