The definitive winner this summer, as far as I'm concerned, is USA's Suits. Already picked up for another season, the legal drama starring Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht won over fans immediately. As young genius Mike Ross, and legal powerhouse Harvey Specter, the pair have delivered time and again, as the show details their curious relationship, the firm's inner turmoil, and a variety of interesting and offbeat cases.
The show has given us a great balance of character study and episodic treatment, and the result has been a growing, devoted fanbase.
Not only has the show given us great episodes, and a dynamic duo to grip us, but the supporting cast is better than the main players are most offerings. Chief among the show's standouts is Rick Hoffman, who gives us a wonderful turn as the shady-ish Louis, another partner in the firm, and Harvey's constant foil.
The show was one of my picks from the pilot, and though I was somewhat nervous that it could keep going as strongly, it has proven itself a worthy competitor in the over-saturated legal genre.
Going forward, we may be in for some difficulties with the continuing drama revolving around Mike's credentials, but the overall outlook is exceedingly positive.
Few shows have sucked me in as quickly, and fewer still have managed to hold me so well. The finale finds Harvey stymied in his efforts to free an innocent man when he goes against the new district attorney, who seems more focused on integrity of the system than justice. Check out the season finale "Dogfight" Thursday, September 8 at 10/9C!
