A lot of you are watching Suits right now
Suits is smashing streaming records, nearly four years after it aired its last episode. Why is it so popular?
Aux News Suits
Turns out Barney from How I Met Your Mother was right all along: people love Suits. Like… a lot. Not the garment, which has slipped out of favor in recent years, but the 2010s basic cable legal drama now most notable for producing Duchess of Sussex and ex-Spotify podcaster Meghan Markle.
In fact, people love Suits so much that the series has just broken Nielsen’s streaming record for most minutes viewed in a single week. (The show, which originally aired on USA Network, is now streaming on both Netflix and Peacock.) That’s over 3.1 billion minutes of Suits viewed in a single week. In case you missed it: billion. Nine whole zeroes. In a single week! That’s… a lot of minutes of Suits, and a whole lot more than Manifest, which previously held the record for most viewed acquired series in a single week at a measly 2.5 billion viewing minutes (per Deadline). But… why?
You already know the short answer: people just really love Suits. As they should! It’s a fun, engaging show about beautiful people winning cases, having affairs, and being shady. What’s not to love? It also runs a whopping nine seasons and 134 episodes, an increasing rarity in a streaming climate defined by axing and disappearing. Watching a show that’s already over (and ended relatively well, or at least in a way that didn’t undo everything that came before) can be a major comfort in an increasingly unstable world. Just look at The Office, which has also consistently sat atop Nielsen leaderboards for several years now. People crave comfort and familiarity, and Suits absolutely falls into that bucket.
Suits may also feel extra familiar now, in a post-Succession world. While the field may be different, the dress code is mostly the same (minus Kendall’s silly little blue hat) and we miss it! It’s fun to run around a chic New York high-rise with a whole new (or familiar, depending on which rewatch this is) crew.
But the real headline, of course, is Meghan Markle, who famously had to kiss a couple of fake lawyers before finding her prince. For Meghan fans, this is a fun origin story (far more fun than anything Marvel has put out recently), and—if an inside source at Netflix is to be believed—may be the only televised content we’re getting from the ex-Royal any time soon. All of which is to say, it may be a great time for anyone not participating in this phenomenon to get on board and Suits up already.

My wife watches this show, so I’ve tried to stomach my way through it. The nicest thing I can say is that it’s far from the worst show on Netflix at the moment, but the writing is atrocious. I lost count of how many times characters told each other “GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!”
My wife also binged the whole thing recently. Every time I caught a full scene (Either tidying or playing on my phone), I hated everyone involved in any given scene. The Harvey dude, in particular, was just an absolute POS.
They are all lying, manipulative pieces of shit. But to be fair, they are playing attorneys in a high profile law firm.
Or, “Our backs are against the wall!”Seriously, it is Mad Men light with very paint by number writing. I am watching because she wants to watch it. It’s mindless and fun. I think that the fact that it has a long story (9 seasons!) is another reason people are watching. They can commit for a long haul instead of 3, 4 or 5 season maximum TV shows that seem to be the norm. Also, it wasn’t cancelled and actually has an ending. Too much of that going on in todays television.It’s fun, it’s full of hot people and Louis.
Pathetic Louis sort of looks like Jason Sudeikis’ long-lost ugly brother. It’s fucking districting.
Rick Hoffman is a distractingly ugly dude—-its amazing he actually broke into television with that mug.That being said—HOW DARE YOU TRASH LOUIS LITT.
I really enjoy Suits, but yeah, it’s not exactly high art. It’s fun to watch LegalEagle lose his mind over how bad the actual practice of law is on the show, and how many times everyone would have been disbarred.
Basically every episode is Harvey yelling at somebody, the person responds with something that makes him realize he’s the one who is wrong, then they storm out as he watches them leave, contemplatively.
It really does feel like someone looked at Boston Legal and said “this, but everyone is completely serious.”
That’s SIR Meghan Markle
It’s a lightweight television show, and it’s summer. Hope this helps.
It’s because Patrick Wilson is in it.Wait, that’s Gabriel Macht. My apologies, wrong Wonder Bred mayo sandwich.
Ooh! I loathe Patrick Wilson and appreciate this.
It really doesn’t. The question in the title is valid. It could have been discovered years ago on streaming at the height of Markles popularity. There are tons of fun light shows to watch. It does point to how silly it was for studios to almost all of them trying to pull a Netflix. There was way less risk in licensing their catalog and demanding a premium on content like this that blows up on their service.
– Ted Lasso.
Not much.
It’s a decent show, or at least it eventually becomes a decent show. The show starts with the guy with the perfect memory and he’s fun for a few episodes, but building an entire show around him sucked.It took something like 3-4 seasons to realize Harvey was actually the main character and get Mike out of the show. After that it gets a lot better.
It’s because it moved to Netflix (lol Peacock) and they put it at the very top of their newly added list vs being hidden in the terrible Amazon Prime app. And it’s a lighthearted, fun show that’s easy to get into whether you’ve seen it before or not.
Rec for how terrible Prime’s UI is. Prime actually has a lot of good stuff on it but you wouldn’t know it because it’s UI is just…just fucking AWFUL for finding stuff. It makes Max look godly in comparison.
Apple+ is also pretty shit, tbh. I’ve also heard terrible stuff about Peacock and Paramount.
At least I can figure out how to turn on subtitles in Prime Video! Can’t tell if Max even has the feature or not.
They do have subtitles on Max
How do you turn them on?
‘”How do you turn them on?”’As soon as you start playing whatever you are playing on Max (as long as they do have subtitles) you should see in the lower right-hand corner a small speech vibes icon.Pause, then press down on the remote* that you’re using to play it until that speech bubble icon lights up. Then click on it. You should see two submenus pop-up side by side. The left one should be for Audio. The right one should be for Subtitles. By default the topmost option in Subtitles is Off. But below that your options may vary depending on what you’re watching but English CC is usually the first below it.*For me I use fire stick for this so it’s down on the bottom section of the circle but you may be using a remote with arrows so it might be the down arrow.Closed Captioning can still be used as subtitles.
The funny thing about Prime is, they just completely revamped their UI, and it sounds like your experience is exactly what the old UI was ripped for being bad at.
They made it worse.
Every time I pause a show on Apple+, if I don’t restart it in a few minutes, when I go back I have to start the whole thing over. It just started doing this a couple months ago and it is aggravating AF. Netflix does it too. I started “Operation Finale” and had to FF to where I left off when I paused it. Netflix has been cramming Suits down our throats quite a bit. I watched a little of the first episode on Peacock, but lost interest.
Paramount runs pretty well for me. But agree that they all need to overhaul the apps so they’re more user friendly. Apparently there is no beta testing with these people. Just program it, throw it out there and let viewers be pissed off, you got our money, what the fuck do you care?
A significant percentage of users will legitimately click on pretty much anything Netflix recommends at the top of the app. And I think if the first ten minutes or so is highly engaging (and Suits fits that bill), most of them probably follow through with all of it. It’s a weird case of the algorithm creating itself.
A few other apps try to replicate this by immediately playing something else whenever you finish anything. I’m not sure if it works as well, but Hulu transitioned me over to Black Narcissus when I finished Justified (I have no idea why) and Paramount Plus really really wants me to start watching Picard (I do know why, but no thank you).
Agree 100% on amazon. How could a company whose whole reason of existence is convincing you to buy stuff you don’t need (sorry books, you’re no longer their top priority) be so bad at letting you find shows/movies you want to watch (or enticing you to watch shows you didn’t know you wanted to watch)?
In addition, it’s full of snappy dialog, at least the first several seasons which is all that I watched. It bogged down at some point trying to add new tension and conflict with each new season. But while it was fresh, it was always fun to hear the back and forth between the leads.
It genuinely makes me miss the “Blue Skies” era of USA. Suits was never gonna win any awards (neither was Burn Notice or Royal Pains or Psych, and the only reason Monk did was because, come on… Tony fucking Shaloub), but it was definitely a thoroughly enjoyable comfort watch. I could throw on any episode of any of the shows from that USA Network era and just feel content (while also, like, responding to emails or getting dinner ready or whatever). What a delight.
I know, right? It’s like summer-only TV series set up shop on USA year-round for a while there. It was great for mindless popcorn viewing.
Good call on adding burn notice. Matt Nix has produced some fun, underrated TV – The Good Guys getting canceled after one season on FOX in 2010 was such a shame.
I got into Burn Notice at a time when I was looking for exactly that — a well-written, episodic thriller with fun characters, like 80s prime time. Engaging without being exhausting, like so much of peak television can be.And that’s probably why Suits is finding an audience.
Monk may not be overall a great show, but was consistently watchable… and influential. Though it has antecedents in a not-much-new-under-the-sun sort of way, I think of it as the trailblazer in shows with a non neurotypical major character, which are now commonplace. Do we have a Doc Martin or a Sheldon Cooper, just to take a couple of examples, without Adrian Monk?
I actually think it borders on being a “great” show, mostly because it delivered exactly what it was trying to deliver. And let’s be real: if you have a detective show with Tony Shaloub and Ted Levine, that has all the makings of prestige television. USA just made the show a little before the “prestige TV era” was fully a thing. (And obviously, the tone wasn’t exactly “prestige TV” but you know what I mean.)
I’ve missed Blue Skies ever since it went off air. Almost every show they put out was entertaining and the way they split each season into two meant you had year-round entertainment. I don’t know why one of these streaming services doesn’t do something similar now.
It’s also been appearing in my YouTube shorts list for some reason. Not sure where the ven diagram of my watch habits (Video game and car crash compilations) places suits, but someone wants me to watch it.
Yeah, I logged onto Netflix for the first time in a while a couple nights ago, and was kinda surprised that the huge banner and preview video that started playing was… Suits? And… I almost started watching. As a guy who watched almost everything on USA from 2006-2014 (what a great era for mostly-OK bluesky TV!), I’m a little surprised I never watched a single ep of Suits or Burn Notice. Maybe now’s the time!
Burn Notice is terrific, in a “turn your brain off and just enjoy the pretty colors and people and quick, light, mostly fun case of the week stories” (at least until it got near the end, when it was just… woof).
I think BN peaked with Season 1, then it was all downhill. Later on it was just mediocre. Never bad, mind you, but it never matched season 1.And I couldn’t stand Michael’s mother (the character, not the actress).Honestly, I wish Nix’s other series would have lasted, The Good Guys, with Colin Hanks and Brad Whitford.
Burn Notice was a lot of fun the first few seasons. In the last few they sucked all the comedy out of it entirely and it became a real slog.The Blue Sky era at USA was a lot of fun, and gave what had otherwise been a nothing cable channel a lot of oomph behind it. In addition to Psych, Burn Notice, Monk, etc., shows like White Collar, Royal Pains, Covert Affairs, In Plain Sight, etc., were all fun. I don’t know why they killed it all – could be that Mr. Robot had them all thinking they could produce award-winning stuff. But they haven’t done anything other than Mr. Robot that anyone’s cared about since.
White Collar! I knew there was one I watched and loved that I had forgotten about. That show was so watchable as just casual, lighthearted TV.
I am a Burn Notice Watcher and while the final few seasons get bogged down in serial shit, the first few seasons were great. And it actually appears to be a fairly accurate depiction of spycraft. Basically information gathering, but fun and with Bruce Campbell.
Yeah I saw it pop up a while back, though haven’t checked it out yet as I am burning through Orange is the New Black at the moment, then on to Good Omens Season 2. Then because I seem to hate myself on of those garbage CW shows that I started watching because I don’t know why especially since I am in my 40’s and WAY out of the target demo lol.
The average CW watcher was in their early 50’s as of its heyday a few years ago. If You counted the CW app as an app, it was probably one of my top apps.
A thousand times THIS.
Seriously, “why are so many people watching Suits right now?” is about the least mysterious question in the world. The show was in the Spotlight position for me for ~10 days. That’s tens of millions of eyeballs being encouraged to watch it on a daily basis.I’ve never seen the show but it was well-regarded while it was airing, and it’s a finished show with 134 episodes so people aren’t afraid it’s going to disappear after Season 2 and 20 eps like most Netflix shows. Meghan Markle going on to be super famous after it doesn’t hurt either.
From the few episodes I saw my partner watching, Meghan Markle only shows up for like 2-3 minutes an episode. She’s barely in it. Small sample size, I know.
Small and inaccurate. She is a lead in the show, the main love interest with her own story involving her successful father at a rival law firm.
Well, she is only a paralegal 🙂
Every time someone brings up Suits I have to point out that Patrick Adams and Meghan Markle’s characters are OBSESSED with The Wire, but consistently fail to notice that Meghan Markle’s dad was in The Wire. It makes my brain feel like it’s glitching.
This show is constantly in my YouTube Shorts feed, enough that I’ve passively learned the story of the whole show. My wife found it on Netflix (as AKA stated) and has been watching, so we’re slowly comparing notes. It’s an interesting experiment.Also, neither of us had even heard of Suits before about last year, FWIW.
I get it, but if I’m watching a fluffy USA Network show about an intelligent fraud that Dule Hill was in, which was filmed in Canada pretending to be the US, and has a bunch of pop culture references, I’m going with Psych.
Dule hill was in Suits? To be fair, I only know of Suits from commercials that ran when I was watching Psych (or was that Monk – maybe both) on USA.
You know that’s right.
My name is Shawn Spencer, and this is my partner, control alt delete.
Thanks for reminding me that it’s time for my quarterly Google search for news on the latest Psych movie!
I don’t think Suits is even second on my list of USA shows featuring “intelligent frauds.” White Collar was great, AND Matthew Bomer always rocked a great suit.
But that’s also unfair, because Matt Bomer is quite possibly the most handsome man to have ever walked the Earth.
Should we get rid of suits? The custom of wearing them does seem a bit antiquated. They certainly aren’t very egalitarian, insofar as a rich person can signal their superiority in terms of cut, style and assembly, just as women are still somewhat confused about how to even make the suit work for them. All the same, I dont know if I’d want my attorney representing me in a tracksuit and Nikes. Like all clothing it’s a costume. We become what we wear.
I can’t help imagining how a world full of naked people would sort themselves out.
I definitely don’t want to wear a suit every day but it’s nice to wear one sometimes.
Might be a bit of oversharing but sometimes when I feel sad I throw myself a fancy night where I just wear a 3 piece suit and go for a night on the town. I always have fun.
Hey you do you! If I went out for a night on the town in my suit around here I’d probably get rolled by meth heads lolI usually only wear it for weddings and funerals but it definitely feels nice to get spiffed up sometimes. Especially now that I got an actual tailored suit.
Murry, if you ever find yourself in Wilmington NC you’re welcome to visit and we’ll throw on a couple of suits and go raging.
Thanks!
It just feels good to occasionally wear a suit. Even at a conference where everyone is wearing suits, I get tons of compliments.
I gotta see this suit!
Same here, and the fact that I don’t wear one every day makes it special.
It’s nice to dress up. I’m not a man but I’m sure that putting one on makes a man feel more capable and professiona? Digified? I took some theatre classes as an undergrad and we did that old experiment where we dressed up in all kinds of outfits and they certainly influenced the way we felt about ourselves. I’m not a young-un so sometimes it seems like the world just doesn’t give a damn any more about public dressing. But we all have so many other worries, don’t we. A ‘superior’ wardrobe takes so much thought and care and expense. I sent maybe 50 bags of years of clothes collecting to a charity months ago.
Maybe dignified, I always feel capable and professional at work though. I’ve officiated wedding ceremonies and I’ll tell you it makes me feel like I actually have the right to do something like that even though I’m not legally or religiously capable of making a wedding official.
They certainly aren’t very egalitarianThat’s part of the idea, of course. Such clothes (whatever that meant in a given era) have always helped with class distinction, since they are expensive and preclude physical labor. They are also figuratively and sometimes literally tailor made for making a man look good even when he has a few years on him and maybe likes a nice restaurant meal, with drinks before and after, better than the gym. In other words, the traditional power structure.As for the show, I saw the odd episode in hotel rooms during business trips back during its first run and liked them well enough, but never really got into it. (USA Network had a whole raft of light dramas of this nature, and a formula for producing what some called “blue sky” shows). My 91-year-old mother-in-law, though, recently discovered it on one of the streaming services and really likes it (significance of Meghan Markle among the things she likes about it is not yet clear) so maybe we’ll all give it another go.
What are “blue sky” shows? I googled it and all I found was a lot of Big Sky.
It was just USA’s motif, and possibly its motto, for a stretch in the mid 2010s. Dramas that were generally positive or outright funny (Psych, Monk)
What are “blue sky” shows? I googled it and all I found was a lot of Big Sky.Colloquial term for some breezy dramas that especially characterized USA Network for quite some years in the mid 2000s. It may have originated with an NBC Universal executive, Bonnie Hammer:https://www.avclub.com/the-last-remnant-of-usa-network-s-blue-sky-era-royal-1798248174See alsohttps://www.cbr.com/usa-network-blue-sky-era-better-remember/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/07/07/farewell-royal-pains-and-hello-mr-robot-usas-era-of-blue-sky-shows-is-over/I once read a deep dive on the distinct visual style that many of these shows had in common, which included having a color pop known as “fruit salad” in as many scenes as possible, but can’t find it now.Doug B. likening it to “summer-only TV series year-round” and browza’s description of Burn Notice in particular as “a well-written, episodic thriller with fun characters, like 80s prime time” (an especially intriguing thought: Burn Notice as Hart to Hart with more automatic weapons fire?) sum it up well.
It’s not the suit, per se, that I find outdated, it’s the necktie. Even as a kid, I though the idea that the masculine formal wear ideal was… a colorful piece of silk wrapped tightly around your neck? Just a holdover from the foppish dandy styles of the 18th century? Why did neckties survive while knee britches did not?
If anything, ties aren’t foppish enough for being the focal point of an outfit. We need more ascots, cravats, and scarves out in the world.
How about jabots, like the late RBG was fond of wearing?
Weirdly, I like neckties and wish I had more occasion to wear them.
Breeches! I’m guessing guys just don’t want to wear “stockings,” and who would blame them, lol. They’re a pain. But you have to admit, men in the (way back ‘then’) were decidely bold in their clothing adventures. They tried just about anything. I agree about neckties; I’ve never met anyone who wants to wear those. As you said, not only are they a silly custom, they also look ridiculous, imo. I believe that eventually they’ll just be antiques.
Did you know high heels were originally a man’s shoe?
I’m waiting for spats to make a comeback.
Nah we need the ultra minimalist militaristic suits from Cyberpunk 2077
I feel like we already see some of that. Columbia sportswear used to be somewhat baggy and nylon. Now it’s all tight spandex stuff. I’d rather not be around military themed clthing. We went through the camo period and I see some of that influence returning. I found Michael Jackson’s preocuppation with military fashion very disturbing. This country is already arming itself. If people start dressing for war, they’re even more likely to want to start one.
You’re right, what with all the other weird stuff about the dude, it’s easy to forget MJ spent about half a decade dressing like a Weimar-era SA cadet.
From the abuse in his childhood, to his phenomenal success, bizarre surgeries, accusations of inpropriety and all the rest, he will forever remain one of the most inscrutable mysteries. I love his work, but I feel such a deep sadness for this man. His father, the public, made a “monster” out of him (alot of self-shame does that). That’s why Thriller, to me, is so affecting.
My wife just started watching this show on Netflix. It’s okay, good for background noise while we’re cooking dinner.
1. It moved to Netflix.2. Meagan Markle. Especially since Suits was what propelled her to fame and into the arms of Harry. Probably a lot of Brits watching it just to see her specifically. Not a mystery and not really worth an article over tbh.
I doubt Meghan’s getting paid properly for this!Actually, all jokes aside, I bet we’re going to see a few articles about how poorly the actors and writers will be paid even though the show is hitting it hard on Netflix right now.
Probably not from the modern The AV “DAE jerk it to photos of Albert Einstein?” Club.
Netflix seems to understand that this is what people want. Easy-viewing shows that have TONS of episodes. It’s a shame they simply refuse to make new shows like this in the steaming world. Also, this specific success for Suits was very intentional. Like others have said, Netflix forced this show into the main preview screen of my app for a week or two. There’s a reason Gilmore Girls is one of the top-watched pieces of content on Netflix, and why The Office (before Peacock snapped it back and squandered it) had an entire revival that dwarfed the popularity of its initial run.You’d think one streaming exec could put two and two together and start building out some fun shows with longer-run seasons.
That’s a good point, as well. It’s also one of those shows that, it doesn’t matter where you drop in as long as you understand the basic premise. So you don’t have to pay attention, you can just let it start the next episode while you’re, like, folding laundry or whatever, and honestly you might not even notice a new episode started. Epitome of background comfort TV, really (I put Frasier, a show that I love and always will love, in the same category).
Frasier had a bite early on, and an unexpectedly satisfying final season, but yeah, there were some comfortable-old-habit years. (Of course, a mediocre paint-by-numbers Frasier is still at least an 80th-percentile sitcom…)
I wonder if we’re going to start to see a trend of non-serialized dramas/comedies after they pretty much engulfed the entire TV industry for the past 2 decades.I think the studios like it this way, though, by its very nature, serialization draws you in and makes you “have” to watch.
Please, God, no!The serialization wave brought forth the golden era of television, aka TooMuchTV, and if it all reverted back to game-shows, reality, sitcoms and police/legal procedurals, I might lose my mind! I’m already freaking out because the shift back to non-binge streaming releases of weekly episodes is almost total now.
There are shows that benefit from serialization (Succession, Game of Thrones, etc.) but the flip side is the virtually endless streaming potential of shows with deep libraries of episodes that encourage regular binging. Both are desirable to be well rounded, but only one model is actively being serviced by the streaming platforms.
I have a feeling some of it has to do with the fact that one of the writers unfortunately just passed away, and there’s no better promotion for a show sometimes than a staff member’s death.

“It’s fun to run around a chic New York high-rise..”Um, they dont even try and hide the fact its all filmed in Toronto. I have been an extra in scenes of Suits more than times than i can count.If you worked in the Financial District and walked outside your office at any given time, you were undoubtedly filmed in a scene at some point.
Its not a great show by any means, but Harvey and Louis are always fun to watch.
Oop, this article is about me. Sums up well why I was interested though: breezy, light, lots of episodes, finished airing.The Meghan Markle thing is also mildly interesting but became more interesting after I actually watched a whole season with her in it. She’s not good at acting, y’all! She’s stiff, unnatural, and has negative chemistry levels with the lead she’s partnered with romantically. It’s quite amusing. She was definitely hired based on prettiness because even by low-level procedural television standards, she sticks out as an amateur. But, she IS really, REALLY, pretty. (But so is Gina Torres who steals every scene she is in.)
I don’t think Patrick J. Adams is a particularly good actor, at least in my limited exposure to his work. That doesn’t help in “chemistry” with Markle.Hoffman, Torres, and Macht, along with the few times Costabile shows up, are really the only good main actors on the show.At least until the later seasons when Dule shows up.
I just never bought him as a high-priced Manhattan attorney. He always struck me as a kid, with a bad haircut and awful skinny ties.
Simply because Netflix is pushing it there. There is no reason Suits should be the first thing I see when opening Netflix, but it is relentless. Unfortunately, I accidentally clicked on it when I meant to click on a program beneath it, and now it is in my continue watching list, even though I never started watching it. I am sure there are plenty of subscribers that just click on it because they can’t be bothered to look through listings. Of course you know all this, but us commenters can’t stop ourselves from piping up to help you suss out the answer to your question. SMH.
Wow, that’s really where we are now AV Club, huh? You needed to find an excuse to slag off Meghan and the MCU in the last paragraph even though the latter has literally nothing to do with it?Great journalism.
seems like someone takes their fandom pretty seriously.
Or people find the obsession with mcu’s quality and “superhero fatigue” quite tiresome. I guess it’s fatigue about people whining about their fatigue
lol You are a loser.
I don’t know about you plebeians, but I’m watching it on Peacock.
For real though, as someone else mentioned, it just got inserted into Reels and Shorts with aggression, made enough of an impression of sharp-dressed people being snappy with each other that it became my background noise for May.
Over 3 billion minutes? The residual checks for these actors must be in the tens of dollars!
I think I watched one episode of Suits and if they said “Harvard” one more time I was going to throw a hasty pudding pot through the television.
Don’t be rash
Bill Simmons.Serious.
That’s… a lot of minutes of Suits, and a whole lot more than Manifest, which previously held the record for most viewed acquired series in a single week at a measly 2.5 billion viewing minutesThe fact that the previous record holder is a show I’ve never even heard of probably indicates how meaningful those numbers are.
“Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams in Suits”Oh, and BTW, that isn’t Patrick J Adams in the screenshot, its Gabriel Macht.
Thank you, I was going to say the same thing so I’m glad I checked first.
Never watched it, but I did buy a cheap copy of Season 1 of Franklin & Bash c.2014 thinking it was “that lawyer show everyone talks about”.
Fun Fact: If you look at Suits as a whole, the series does pass the Bechdel test. Can you spot where?
I have no interest in a re-watch, but looking back, I apparently watched at least six seasons of this show while it was on the air.
A lot of people got hyped when they saw the actor from Suits pop up in those bleak Royal Match ads.
