    TV: Suits



    Suits started on USA earlier this Summer, and I have to say that it has been my favorite Summer show. I watched all 7 episodes that are out last night. It's a legal drama show, so if you like those this should not be missed.

    Anyone here has seen it?


    ABOUT SUITS


    Even the best lawyer in New York City can use some help.

    While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory.

    Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law. And while Harvey may seem like an emotionless, cold-blooded shark, Mike's sympathy and concern for their cases and clients will help remind Harvey why he went into law in the first place. Mike's other allies in the office include the firm's best paralegal Rachel (Meghan Markle) and Harvey's no-nonsense assistant Donna (Sarah Rafferty) to help him serve justice.

    Proving to be an irrepressible duo and invaluable to the practice, Mike and Harvey must keep their secret from everyone including managing partner Jessica (Gina Torres) and Harvey's arch nemesis Louis (Rick Hoffman), who seems intent on making Mike's life as difficult as possible.

    Yep, I've been watching it, Munsu. I really love good lawyer/attorney shows, so this one was no exception. But, what I like about "Suits" is that it makes it very hip, and just extremely entertaining. From the swanky buildings, the attire, the dialogue, the cases, it's all perfect, in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoy all the bantering back and forth between Harvey, Ross, Pearson, and Louis. Harvey's secretary, Donna, is hilarious as well.

    Harvey's the man!

    There's been quite a few of new legal/courtroom dramas lately: Fairly Legal, Franklin & Bash, The Good Wife, Harry's Law, The Defenders (canned), The Whole Truth (canned), Outlaw (canned)

    Also, there are going to be a few more come Fall/Winter.

    I was enjoying The Defenders, and had it been in a less successful network, it would have been renewed. CBS shows were just doing so well and someone had to be cut to make room for new shows.

    I'm also watching Franklin & Bash, a fun series.

    Show was renewed for a second season, with 16 episodes.

    Excellent news, man. It's easily become one of my favorites.

    Will definitely be tuning in tonight for another brilliant episode!

    It's a shame what happened to "The Defenders". It had solid ratings, but CBS is so strong as a network right now, I guess they had to make room for even better shows.

    It's going to be a jam-packed Fall/Winter for me, so many fascinating and intriguing shows that I'm itching to watch.

    This have been my second favorite Summer show, second only to Game of Thrones. Best legal show since Boston Legal. Sometimes feel like House if it was a legal show. Like how Mike tells Harvey something at the end, and Harvey will find a solution. Nice to see Zoe again.

    I love that in the latest episode Loise won over Mike. I had my concerns when Harvey let Mike handle it alone that he would end up winning. Nice to see that they didn't screw over Loise character by letting a guy without an real education, and extremely little case experience beat a shark like Loise. Even though he is a douche, he's supposed to be a great attorney.

    And yea, usually if you recommend something it turns out to be golden. Have doubted you before and payed the price (24, Firefly, House, How i met your mother, Spartacus, Supernatural). BTW next episode is the last. Anyone heard any news about this getting renewed?

    yayyy....surprisingly i really love this show. I dont know why, its just another lawyer show, but the writing and acting is so good, its one of my fav shows to watch.

    Hmm, cliffhanger season finale. But I think he's not going to go through with it. I don't think we're at the stage of this show where this comes out.

  13. #13
    on the contrary i think he will.....i expect next season they will focus on him trying to prove his worth to her and the company. I imagine patricia doesnt want to let Harvey go since hes too valuable, and im sure the knowledge will hurt the firm regardless, so its probably best to go along with it and aim for damage control

    I don't know, I think if that was that case they would have had him actually saying it before ending the season, instead of ending in a "did he or didn't he cliffhanger".

    It's back.... can't wait to watch the first episode, hopefully tonight.

    Glad to see there weren't any weird twists with the whole Trevor situation and things are exactly what they appeared to be at the end of last season.

    Yeah, it was an excellent episode. Loved the dinner scene, and then the aftermath of it.

    I liked how Mike is finally embracing his inner Shark, with the way he threatened Trevor and how he dealt with the whole merger situation (Harvey: "Did you slam the plaintiff?" Mike: "No I slammed Everybody")

    Loving this show so far.

    The only thing that annoys me is how Mike is willing to share his secret with anybody and then suddenly decided that he couldn't tell the girl he love.

    I hope one of the future cases involves the guy Harvey freed going back to sue the state for being wrongfully convicted. He would have leverage against Mike and Harvey since Mike already told the guy his whole story.
