Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix.

I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background.

“So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’”

He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers.

I just looked at him.

“How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me.

“Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.”

The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled.

The rest of his questions landed flat.

So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great.

Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more.

The writing is good.

The characters are great. 

There are a whole bunch of dramatic scenarios, and Louis Litt is one of the best characters of any show ever.

I’ve hated Louis.

I’ve loved Louis.

I never truly know what he’s going to say or do.

And they’ve showed the day to day of lawyering.

I’m not sure how accurate it might be as far as a huge New York law firm goes, but I hope it has some basis in truth.

Good show.

Lots of episodes.

Character based, right and wrong sort of stuff…

…and Louis!
