Suits

Be it with books or television, the topic of law is something that has never failed to fascinate me. More than I would care to admit, I love watching shows that portray and sometimes even educate the audience about the inner workings of the legal system. Hence the reason I was not disappointed with the pilot episode of Suits, and had felt like continuing on with it. The protagonists being a Manhattan corporate lawyer, Harvey Spector and his associate, Mike Ross who happens to be a college dropout  but has the smarts of a Harvard law grad, and the unconventional bond between the two is one of the most enthralling elements of the show. 

The episodes of the first season helped me ease into the show with minimal complicated plot lines and mostly just showcasing various clients' cases that the firm has undertaken to resolve. The transition into the suspense and story development was a good one and didn't feel rushed or forced as new problems began to unfold. Additionally, the show has the adequate stylings and atmosphere of a proper legal firm, and even though this is for entertainment, the undertone of seriousness of taking law as an occupation, is more than stressed upon. 

Currently ongoing with the fourth season, I like the direction of which it's going but I can't help but point out that the personal conflicts between the characters might be getting a bit too much in the way of the show's main focus. While the drama is more than welcomed to be used to spice up the show, I do miss the times wherein the main concern of the protagonists and other characters, were their clients' cases. At the same time, I shall also note that in a way, this has all helped the characters evolve and it is obvious that their ethics and moral codes related to the law, aren't so clearly black and white anymore. 

Happy binge-watching!
