Suits is one of those shows where once you start watching it you can't stop. It's addicting! The chemistry between the characters on this show is as good as it gets on tv! There are a thousand shows about lawyers out there but this is BY FAR the best and the most original one! I can not recommend this show enough!

Loved It!
Rob13318 April 2023
I don't even know how to describe how much I loved Suits. It's absolutely my favorite lawyer show of all-time. Even though it probably ran a season too long it went out with a string ending.! All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how loved this show really is. The writing and acting is what makes this show so special. The entire cast...Gabriel Macht (Harvey), Patrick J Adams (Mike), Meghan Markle (Rachel), Sarah Rafferty (Donna) and Rick Hoffman (Louis Litt), etc) are all perfect! I can not recommend this show enough. If you're a fan of lawyer type shows then watch this as soon as possible because this is the best of them!
An Intelligent, Sparkling New Television Series
gradyharp29 June 2011
SUITS is smart, sassy, clever, sophisticated, timely and immensely entertaining! The new series debuted with a full 60 minute story that establishes the characters very solidly, opens pathways for many story lines, and boasts an exceptional cast of fine actors. Here is hoping it makes it as an ongoing series, especially since it is not yet another crime drama! Not that Criminal Mains, The Mentalist, Without A Trace will lose their place among the best show on television, but with all the spinoffs on the crime shows, the available choices have been dwindling lately.
SUITS is a lawyer show. Set in New York (captured, by the way, in beautiful cinematic vistas) it focuses on a very successful law firm, managed by Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) who balances the talents of her two top lawyers, the smarmy Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) who is a control freak, and the very brilliant but egotistical Harvey Spector (Gabriel Macht). There is a particularly appealing and very bright secretary Donna (Sarah Rafferty) and a beautiful paralegal Rachel (Meghan Markel) and last but certainly not least by any means there is Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) - a young lad who is extremely bright, has a photographic memory, dropped out of college because he took tests for fellow students and got caught, fell into marketing drugs by default for need of money so that he could pursue his dream of being a lawyer, and falls quite by accident into the role of being selected as associate to the brilliant but self absorbed Harvey Spector. This is the team of characters who are destined to provide fascinating substories as they interact.
The dialogue (Aaron Korsh and Sean Jablonski) is clever, bright, snappy, unclichéd, witty, and helps define the complexities of the characters. The pacing is exceptional (directors Kevin Bray and John Scott) and the series has the appearance of a high-end movie - excellent cinematography, expansive development of story in well-selected locations - but most of all this is a cast that is worthy of attention every moment they are on camera. It will be interesting to watch how Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht grow into our psyches: both are exceptionally fine and provide a spectrum of the lawyer personality we haven't seen on a series before. This should be a major hit!

Always used IMDB for as long as I can remember and never left a review and for some reason I feel like I have to for suits.
Just watched the final episode and I don't know why but it's reminded me of the last ten years of my life, the ups and downs and everything important I've ever been through with the people I love and have loved.
The last episode brings everything together and is the perfect ending, and I have to say suits is one if not the best series I've watched. Perfection, and that's not a word I use often.
The show has a slow but fun start initially and you grow to love so many characters, it shows the importance of friends of family and that sometimes life isn't always perfect but you should always be strong, persistent, kind and forgiving.
After a number of people come and go it still continues to get better and better all the way to the end.
Thank you to the show.

A refreshing dose of smarts and laughs

It has been a while since I have discovered a series I truly enjoy watching. Some are way too stupid and then others are way too boring, and then some have horrible actors and the list goes on.
However, in this little gem, everything is exactly right. The script matches funny and serious, silly and smart, everything at exactly the right amounts. The actors act well. Watching this show is a generally enjoyable experience which, I think, is a lot when it comes to some recent series.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes 'House MD', 'How I Met Your Mother' and other series that are often watched to feel better after a long day.

Just what I was looking for
Aptosblue20 July 2011
After finishing every available episode of House, Bones, Fringe, and Prison Break, I found myself at a loss of what to watch. So as I was browsing for new TV Shows, I stumbled on this one and decided to give it a go.
I am very picky about TV series' but this one really captured me. After not expecting much, it really caught me by surprise how great this was.
It reminds me of Law & Order but with more drama and a following into the characters lives. It reminds me of "House" in many ways. It features a strict boss that will do anything to get the job done, and an employee willing to do anything for his boss.
It is certainly a new age show that will bring in audience from all ages from teenagers to seniors. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with this show, as many new shows have disappointed me.

Quality you can appreciate
reneweddan26 June 2011
Patrick J. Adams & Gabriel Macht both give convincing performances in the pilot, something sure to excel even more throughout the series.
The script, acting, and quality are all flawless, as far as television goes. If you're looking to be highly entertained on Thursday night, then look no further. The subtle humor, creative plot, and enjoyable dialogue entices the viewer more with each passing moment.
If you're into legal shows that include all aspects of human nature, including compassion, then Suits is for you.
Hopefully this show continues to have the opportunity to thrive; it has definitely drawn me in and I won't miss a second of it.

Turned out better than expected!
amlcart0y9 December 2022
I'll first say that what made me keep coming back to finish the series was Louis Litt "Rick Hoffman" his character was so powerful, emotional and I loved to hate him and love him. Next I want to say that this show was made up of many great actors that would bring it home. Shout out to Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty and the character Katrina played by Amanda Schull whose character development made me want to finish the series and not think twice after Megan left the series. Honestly, I thought the stories weaved together well as the writers and each actor did an excellent job. After finishing the series on Peacock I decided to come and rate the show. Not surprisingly this show doesn't need my high rating and everyone else already agrees that the show was well done.
This is an example of TV show that producers don't know when to stop.
wino-8005021 August 2018
This TV series was really promising with good pilot, first and second season. And at some point it started turning more into soap lawyerish drama without this what it used to be. I would rate this TV show higher when it had been finished around season 4. It has it's own pattern that becomes annoying when you see it in every episode. But hey - you need to find it by yourself.
Slow Scream
tinyone218 August 2017
I have watched all seasons.... unfortunately.
Originally the drama was tense and fun. The bromance between Harvey and Mike was also really interesting. However, over time the sparkle disappeared and the magic of Mike's amazing memory seems to have disappeared alongside it. Instead of being fun yet tense, the show has evolved into a continuous screaming match and people panicking about mundane nonsense. Made up drama that feels too forced to be entertaining.
Live. Die. Repeat.
Every episode seems like a catastrophe for the firm or the people. They resolve this by yelling at each other or trying to be really clever. Unfortunately the clever seems to have turned into everyday unspectacular. The characters are now just bumbling ants without direction and without any capacity for passionate relationships. Even Mike and Rachel or Harvey and Donna are washed out.
Worth a watch up to about season 3. Thereafter, it turns into a slow and agonizing death of a show.

Good looking series
lamont-hard25 June 2011
After watching the pilot episode I was pleased from what I saw. The episode was long enough to give us a glimpse into some interesting characters. There seems to be a lot to go around with both leads social lives and how they impact the secondary characters. There Is no shortage of eye candy. I did find some of the time lines a bit of a stretch, but nothing major. I most enjoyed how the writers took the time to give good background material on just about the whole cast witch I think Is becoming so rare, knowing this info helps to get into these characters from the start. I recommend this show to viewers who like a lawyer type show with just a touch of softness.
Worth watching past the pilot
mastonae114 July 2011
I am very pleasantly surprised by this show and will certainly continue to watch it. The characters are likable and, with the exception of "Mike Ross," a page out of real life. I can guarantee you that there is not a single lawyer at a high power NYC law firm that didn't go to law school. Additionally, no lawyer as green as Mike would be given so much attention. Here is where I will cut the show some slack- without such deviations from the truth there would be no show.
Some reviewers liken this show to House but with lawyers. Sure, there are some common elements surrounding Harvey being cold-hearted and cocky yet excellent as his job. But this is where I want to draw the distinction: characters like Harvey actually exist in this world (minus the likability). There are charming, proud, extremely competent, rude, driven, and ruthless lawyers in every major firm in every major city. At some point it becomes a requirement of the job. Doctor House meanwhile is too much of a self-destructive train wreck for my taste.
If you want to get a glimpse into working at a high power law firm, an investment bank, or any other high stakes pressure-cooker job look no further. Keep the insane hours, lose the friendliness, and amplify the cockiness and voilà: a glimpse of reality. This show keeps the bad but throws in the good, so instead of feeling like work, the show instead feels like entertainment.

Suits is brilliant
michael-mcgee-969-35731913 February 2013
Suits is a compelling legal drama set in the heart of New York City at one of the city's most successful law firms. The story is centred around the firm's best lawyer, Harvey Spector (Gabriel Macht), an egotistical, uncompassionate, charmingly witty Harvard graduate who will do whatever it takes to win – "The best closer this city has ever seen"; and his associate Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), an under-achieving compassionate genius with an eidetic memory who strikes lucky by having the opportunity to work at one of the highest profile legal firms even after being caught for attempted drug trafficking and without the required qualifications. The show follows both characters as they face different legal and personal challenges in each episode whilst maintaining the gregarious and quick-witted rapport between the two.
The show offers plenty of variety besides the law by developing the relationships of many characters inside the firm, "Pearson Hardman", managed by Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), a career-minded powerful woman. Jessica must balance between her two best lawyers, a devious Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) and Harvey, whose relationship is filled with rivalry and playable banter, is certainly one to make you laugh. The show also follows the stories of the beautiful Rachel (Meghan Markel), a paralegal whose test anxieties are stopping her from fulfilling her ambitions of going to Harvard to study law and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) a smart, sexy secretary.
Besides the two leading characters, Suits is balanced excellently with an ensemble cast filled with intriguing relationships and an original and sharp script combined with the beautiful backdrop of New York City to make this a thoroughly enjoyable TV show which I can't help but grin ear-to-ear from start to finish and I hope it continues its high standards for seasons to come. Suits is brilliant.

one lawyer , one genius equals trouble .
mendelman-jacobson24 June 2011
when i first heard about this TV series i thought why bother its probably stupid ! how good could it be ? but then i thought you know ill watch the pilot and give it a shot , why not ? before i knew it my eyes were glued to the screen from beginning to end and i enjoyed it to the fullest . this show in a way reminds me of "house MD " a TV series with a lot of knowledge and brains and in the future will show many law cases which will be won by these guys , a top of the line lawyer named Harvey and a genius without a degree named mike who when hears anything or reads anything remembers it forever . and i strongly recommend this TV series to anybody who likes to enjoy themselves because trust me this TV series ain't boring !
Not flawless, but well worth the journey
grahamf-555426 January 2021
I have just finished watching the whole show, from S1 to S9. Not quite a binge, but I put most other viewing aside.
Like other reviewers, I felt that the the plot lost its way a bit somewhere around midway. But I don't see it as a serious lapse. It held my attention to the end, and I think it was the humour, as much as anything, that kept me going.
As far as the comedy element goes, Rick Hoffman was outstanding. Delicious laugh out loud scenes that continued sporadically right through.
The main flaws were some of the repetitive dialogue. At one point I was getting really annoyed that each episode contained at least one character asking another to look in the mirror. And there were many others. But I could easily forgive that, because the pace hardly ever dropped.
The acting of all main characters was excellent. The flashbacks were well-handled and successfully explained how the key players behaved.
I wondered whether to give an overall 7, but I think 8 is justified by the sheer scale of the show, and that the drama was maintained for so many episodes.
Feel that you are part of them
shirajpal30 July 2020
A very lovely would say one of the best series ever watched.. you feel that it's all happening around you are part of it you feel to become Harvey or Mike. Such intensity you cannot stop emotions rushing in you. Amazing must watch series
It follows a young adult who is struggling with his life who finds himself thrown into a job as a lawyer after he is hired by a big shot, charming 'closer.
mapache-nation24 June 2011
This was an amazing show with a cast of actors who have great chemistry together.
After setting aside the hour and a half allotted for the show, I was happy I did!

After the pilot episode, I am hooked and look forward to seeing this show on USA every Thursday!
As long as they keep the comedy and drama coming, I will be an avid watcher for life.

semprfi1225 July 2023
What started out as a great show through 3 seasons turned into a draining repetativeness of the same lines with no real thought for new ideas to better grab the viewer. The characters are strong in themselves, all self sabotaging their own relationships and work dealings in every episode. After season 4 it became painful to watch, forcing myself to finish it just to get through the shows. Sarah Rafferty as Donna does an amazing job with her character throughout the show. Rick Hoffman as Louis is the one you start out hating then becomes a great comedic relief even with his characters constant misinterpretation and meddling with everything around him. Gabriel Macht does a good job with his overconfidence in the character, tho the constant "Right Now", "Listen to me", and "you're going to do this or else" becomes painful after season 4, lines that most of the cast uses. The entire show is about every firm and attorney in the city plotting against and stabbing each other in the back, even in their own firms and with their own staff. It's soap opera production with an argument based writing structure.
Same story over and over again
LeeJHobb7 September 2017
When I started the series, I enjoyed suits and would probably give it an 8.I quickly realized that it fell into a cycle that was unbreakable :The same things seem to happen over and over again . It just becomes so repetitive that the " new " narratives just aren't interesting enough to satisfy you as the viewer.They also seem to exaggerate quite a bit at times so it really does not feel realistic at all.
This series has gradually become a hollow one
MovieIQTest20 September 2018
Update on 8/21/2019
There's no sense to go on. These characters leftover now only delivered hollow dialog to each other by verbally creating situations in those empty office buildings. This series should call quit when Mike and his wife seek new location to have a new life and lifestyle. It's already become a nuisance to watch this new season's every episode so far, so painful and annoying. Please call it off whenever you could. Have a new life...... ======================================================== Well, after some of the most important roles in this series left, the newest Suits S08 has become such a painful hollow slow cooker without any tasteful ingredients in it and kept deteriorating episode after episode. We can see so clearly that this series' budget has been cut and decreased hugely, so what we see in Season 8 is just a bunch of the familiar faces added another two walking around in an almost empty leased office space in business suits, yadayadayada like a bunch of old wives just delivering boring dialog to each other, or some boring internal fights over "whose name should be added on the wall" and nothing else. The office is almost as empty as a theater stage with some furnitures and several actors. Nothing worth seeing anymore, just like the Emperor's Clothe, under it, Nothing. It's time to wrap up and beg off.

a crisp new show that's sure to entertain

By chance and luck, Mike Ross is saved in the nick of time by a lawyer one night during an escape from a shady marijuana dealing that had gone wrong. Harvey Specter, renowned as one of the top lawyers in the city, is in the midst pf recruiting for the "right" law associate.
Coincidentally, Mike is faced abruptly by this job opportunity that is definitely able to bestow him the money he urgently needs to cover up for his grandmother's medical funds. Facing a major life-changing decision, Mike decides to go for it instead of partaking in illicit activities for the rest of his life. Mike affirms he makes the appropriate position for Specter, and manages to impress Specter with his deftness in retentive memorization. However, having no genuine degree from Harvard, needless to say any formal college degree, lingers as an ever-present issue. Realizing no other man Specter had interviewed so far possessed the same sense of intelligence quite like Ross, Specter is willing to cover up for Ross and his background to land him the job as his associate.
I am fairly pleased to see this new show making its way into a hit television series. It's been time they've come up with something new since Law & Order.

Suits(2011-2019)- Review
CouchReview29 December 2020
Suits is a legal drama, primarily showcasing a law firm (initially Pearson Hardman), its workings and the stories few of few of its executives. It would have been a very much alike to the ubiquitous TV shows' on lawyers/law firms, but Suits brings together a curl to the high flying lifestyle of lawyers, or as has been showcased on the screen. Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) is nothing short of a genius with his brilliant mind and photographic memory, but due to his unimpressive history in his previous years has stymied him in achieving his dream from becoming a lawyer. To make ends meet he takes on a few jobs whose legality can be questioned. When one of these jobs takes a dark turn, and Mike trying to fend off the police of his shoulder, serendipitously runs into Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). Harvey is interviewing candidates for his firm. Harvey extremely impressed by Mike offers him the job despite knowing that he does not have a law degree. The basic premise of the story works on this with Mike & Harvey trying to keep Mike's identity a secret, along with taking on difficult cases and trying to find solutions in unconventional ways.
Creator & writer Aaron Korsh doesn't disappoint much throughout the series, with well thought of stories & scenarios. Gabriel Macht does an amazing job portraying an uptown playboy-esque New York lawyer. Patrick J. Adams too does a good enough job, but sometimes does not meet the high standards set by Macht. Other members of the main cast should also be appreciated for their efforts, particularly Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen & Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt. The music and background score is satisfying and gives a bit of excitement which works in the series' advantage when some episodes' story is not good enough. Direction & Cinematography too does not fetch too many complaints.
The series runs for 9 seasons and by the end feels stretched out lacking much depth. It would have been better if they would have taken the Breaking Bad route of limiting the seasons. Initially the cast remains standard across seasons with a few additions here and there, but by the end it's a jumbled up cast with a few original members and additions, who too are changed time and again, which is not always received well by the viewers. Story-wise it is plausible and remains to the point, but by the end it lacks quality, as it is being tried to be overextended. For a legal series if a few more storylines/scenes would have been based in the courtroom like Boston Legal it could have been better.
It kicks off with a bang but by the end loses its touch, but it is surely entertaining throughout even with its flaws. If you choose to see only the first 7 seasons, it would not be the worst idea. It can be boring for people who are not much interested in business/corporates type of genres, but if you are into it it's a must watch.

The "In the First Place" series
willveic13 June 2020
It's an awesome tv series for those of strong heart and nerves of steel.
50% is all of them arguing, 30% is apologising, 10% is love affairs and 10% is about the law (maybe less).
Still, a great show with the greatest soundtrack!
Addictive and entertaining
symphonyjade4 August 2023
I can't recall the last time I watched a series where I was glad to just binge watch episode after episode and keep looking forward to the next episode.
Gabriel Macht is SOOO dreamy. Patrick J. Adams is adorable and all of the cast are perfect in their roles.
I'm glad Netflix now has the show on, so I can watch a few a day after a long day at work. It's engaging and relaxing and none of the characters get on my nerves. Not even Lewis Litt! Lol!
As for IMDB, I understand character limits for reviews, but the requirement of 600 characters just to say I really enjoy something is a bit much. I LOVE SUITS!!!
