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.

it sure is! my nr 1 at the time
this is probably one of the best show airing at the moment
Its starting to be very interesting, the promo for next week episode is GREAT! Can't wait to see what Dona did to make Harvey this mad!
Great show. I saw first 15 eps in 2 days.
I'm hooked :)
The Pilot was great. The first 30 minutes were a little slow and boring, but after that it became really great. Already planning on watching all the episodes very soon :).
A series freak that writes off a whole series solely because the pilot was too long? Err ok.
Awesome show btw, can't wait for season 2.
Watched it in 1 straight viewing session, worth it ;)
2 episodes: 4 stars
10 episodes: 5 stars
Wonderfull show, must watch. It sucks though that we have to wait another year for the second season.
One of the better new shows, can't wait for S2.
Just finished the first season. Cool stuff, really enjoyed it.
@Diezel you are quite right, It really cannot be compared at all to Mad Men, the style, the pace, the atmosphere is completely different. Mad Men is for example way more focused in the characters relationship, psychology and their troubles than their works while Suits is more balanced between them. Mad Men is also wayyy more slow paced than Suits. They give a totally different feeling.
It has really cheesy quotes, they glamorize the lawyers way over the top, main char's IQ is portrayed even more over the top, scenarios are not realistic at all (think ala the show Hustle, the way every episode starts with a seemable unsolvable problem, and in the end by utter brilliance everything works out),
but who would have guessed, see past that/accept that and it makes for a pretty good show.
Imho can not be compared to Mad Men beyond that it is both about men who work in suits at an agency.
It's really more like Hustle with different humor and a tad more drama.
USA has done it again, quite a good show :)
White Collar, Covert Affairs, Royal Pains, and now Suits. They are having quite a decent show lineup :)
Very good show, totally loving this.
best new cable show in a long time imo
