Mike (as he is called) is a ‘genius’ with an eidetic memory. Harvey hires a young, dashing Michael Ross to be his associate attorney at Pearson Hardman. He is certain to become a legend with his unconventional temerity. Harvey is the portrayal of an alpha male who everyone admires and resents at the same time. Called the ‘best closer’ in the lawyers’ circles, he is suave, jaunty, and winning cases is almost a religious practice for him. Jessica is a combination of antithetical traits in being the stone-hearted boss, but one can surely get her goat by delving into her personal life or undercutting her authority.Įnter Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), senior partner at the firm - a sort of Jedi master of the law world, if you will. Headed by Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), a calculating, canny woman, the firm has endured vicissitudes in its days, right from when its managing partner Daniel Hardman (David Costabile) almost betrayed it, to its merger with British firm Darby International. Pearson Hardman is a leading law firm in New York, which believes in hiring (and follows this as a rule of thumb) only Harvard Law School graduates. To speak of the show’s plot in a diluted sense would not exactly diminish its importance.
#Slick and dapper skin
Suits is a series that has been made for a section of viewers that is willing to let the overbearing and rather ludicrously odd nature of the show pass under their skin and yet not dismiss the entirety of it. But if you were one of those fascinated by the quintessential dramatisation of the western legal world, you are probably still watching the show with tantalised senses. If you sat through the 70-odd minutes of the pilot episode and heaved a sigh of relief at the end of it, you probably felt overwhelmed by the legal drama. It remains to be seen whether the audience will be awed or intimidated by the larger than life characters and the legal parlance that is thrown around like a flying disc in an ultimate sport.
Posh offices in Manhattan, Ivy League-educated lawyers, Machiavellian tactics, vulgar displays of power and unapologetic humour are underlying ingredients of the show. Few shows in television history have been named after the sartorial encumbrance of their characters and Suits just happens to be one of them.
