would the Italians more puritanical than Americans? Still, that last week, RAI 2, transalpine public channel aired the first episode of the first season of Murder ( How to Get Away With Murder , as the title) in a truncated version. A sex scene
 between two men, not yet showing little more than two naked torsos, was edited out.

Shonda Rhimes, the producer of Murder , is also moved his tweet, saying that “censorship of any love is inexcusable.”

A message was heard by Rai 2. the chain responded that Shonda Rhimes was right and that a new distribution of episode was planned, in its entirety, the next day (that is to say, July 10 at 21 pm). The Italian chain would have explained to the Corriere della Sera , a staff member had made this cut on his own, without the consent of anyone to do it.

Jack Fallahee, who plays Connor, thanked the Rai 2 for this decision. The actor had mobilized strongly, especially on social networks, to denounce censorship. “WE have put an end to censorship in this case. ALL YOU have me motivated. Thank you for making your voices heard, “he tweeted by relaying an article.
