Suits is a slick legal drama that ran from 2011 to 2019, following the high-stakes world of corporate law through the eyes of its charismatic and flawed characters. Watchers are hooked immediately after the first episode, “Pilot”, which introduces the main duo of Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a genius college dropout that has photographic memory, and Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), a cocky and ruthless senior partner at the prestigious New York law firm Pearson Hardman. Harvey takes the ultimate risk of hiring Mike as his associate, who never went to law school and has no experience, but shows the confidence and knowledge that Harvey desires out of his associate. Mike Ross has to constantly fear his exposure which will not only derail his life, but will also get Harvey fired and ruin his prestigious career as a New York lawyer. As it continues to get later in the show, Mike Ross’ “secret” spreads all throughout the firm, which leaves viewers on the edge of their seat each episode, not knowing when Mike will get exposed and the firm will crash.

One of Suits’ biggest strengths is its dynamic characters. Harvey Specter embodies confidence and charm, making him one of TV’s most memorable lawyers. His mentorship and friendship with Mike form the heart of the series, while Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty), the firm’s all-knowing legal secretary, steals every scene with her wit and intelligence. Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) adds an air of authority, while Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) evolves from comic relief to one of the most complex and beloved characters. In addition, the “slow burn” love story between Harvey and Donna that doesn’t get resolved until the final seasons, keeps viewers engaged with the show as many of the storylines get repetitive. However, Suits’ exceptional character development of each character throughout the seasons keeps viewers engaged with the show, desiring to see where their favorite character is by the end of the show. While the legal accuracy is questionable, Suits prioritizes entertainment over realism, making it a binge-worthy show filled with humor, drama, and high-stakes negotiations.

Here are a few of Harvey Specter’s most famous quotes that might get you hooked:

“I don’t get lucky. I make my own luck.”

“When you’re backed against the wall, break the goddamn thing down.”

“I don’t play the odds, I play the man.”
