SUITS (USA)


5 HELL YEAH's out of 5


In a world filled with Legal shows...what's one more right? Well we lost the "Defenders" which was GREAT, and gained "Franklin and Bash" (see my post on this one). The TV world is full of other law shows that just didn't make it or those that are struggling.

"SUITS" the new show on USA that premiered after Burn Notice is FANTASTIC!!

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.

The dynamic between Mike and Harvey is brilliant. It's almost like watching George Clooney and Matt Damon from the Ocean's movies. The Casting is spot on and directing was flawless. As you can see from my other posts I really like USA Networks shows. I'll admit it I do. They have a certain formula that other networks or shows don't have that works. SUITS is no exception to that rule. I know where I will be Thursdays at 9:00 Central.
