6 Reasons to watch Suits!
Suits starts premiering on Comedy Central from July 12th and there are more than enough reasons to catch up on the legal drama series!
1. Harvey Specter
Yes, that’s the number one reason. Harvey is the epitome of philosophy and his ‘Specter’isms is a handbook of clichés in this world where people are ready to kill each other for success. Harvey teaches us that if you can get your shit together, have goals instead of dreams and if you can break the god damn wall when your back is up against it, you could be Harvey Spectre too.
2. Mike Ross
The other half of the bromance that forms the backbone of the show, Mike is the regular guy who gives hopes to college drop out that they too can make it big in their lives. He never goes to Harvard and neither has any degree to practice law, but with his knowledge about law, he impresses Specter and has finally become a legitimate lawyer. The underdog is a character inspired by a lot of drop out who now rule the world!
3. The new-age Game of Thrones
You can exchange the bare bodies with Ralph Lauren suits and there is not much to separate the two fictional worlds. George RR Martin has had us in both awe and tears for all the upheavals in Westeros. Suits has enough plotting and back stabbing to be recognised as the modern age GoT. The Pearson Specter Litt has seen a lot of hostile takeovers and sub plots. And add Catelyn Stark and Varys making an appearance on the show.
4. Complex characterisation
No character is good or bad. All of them want power and for that, they will go to any extent. Aren’t we the same in real life? Yes, that’s why we all relate to Suits. Nobody is perfect on the show, they all have their flaws, mistakes and misjudgements. Imagine Harvey on another show. The guy is a successful jerk who we would root against. But not in Suits. He is the humanitarian here despite the I-don’t-give-fuck attitude.
5. It’s cool!
Yes, the show is all about being cool! From the crisp suits to the dialogues, everything on the show is just seductive without even trying. The characters are beautiful, witty and they end their argument with an ultimatum. And they say exactly what they mean. There is no confusion anywhere. The show is just super cool. Period!
6. Cliffhanger!
Oh, we hate cliffhangers! But this is the only reason we wait for the next episode of our favourite TV show. Suits doesn’t disappoint in this aspect too. There are a lot of episodes where you want to kill the director for leaving the hero midway. But when you see the next episode you find it amazing how they dealt with the problem and came out all guns blazing! There are a lot of flashbacks too to give you a background of the things happening now.
