Suits

Dave. Tuesdays, 9pm

I wanted to see this legal drama since seeing the adverts for it on the tube. The trailer made me more interested. Although Suits was hyped, I am glad to say it didn’t disappoint. It is a smart, classy and witty legal drama. It is well acted and the writing is top notch. A great way to spend an evening.

Harvey and Mike are representing Wyatt, a client who has invented a satellite phone that can fit into a pocket. Whilst Harvey gets the glory of sitting in on the high-stakes investor meeting, he orders Mike to take the less glamorous role of filing the patent update.

Not impressed with this, Mike decides to take a short cut and asks fellow colleague Gregory to file the patent in exchange for proofing Gregory’s active brief. The brief turns out to be thousands of pages long and after pulling an all-nighter, Mike still doesn’t complete it. As a result of this, Gregory refuses to file the patent update and another party beats them to filing for the patent first.

Upon hearing news of this, Harvey is fuming at Mike for jeopardising the multi-million investment. However, all is not as it seems, as it turns out Mike isn’t the only one who has hindered things. Harvey receives harsh penalties from the courtroom for turning up late and having his mobile phone switched on. After confronting Judge Pearl about his rationality, Pearl reveals to Harvey that he doesn’t like him professionally or personally considering he slept with his wife.

Now Harvey and Mike must do ultimate damage control if they even want a chance of winning this case. This includes visiting Pearl’s wife, who might not be as honest as she looks.
