Suits is an American legal drama television series that premiered on USA Network on June 23, 2011. It follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who uses his eidetic memory to talk his way into a job as an associate working for successful lawyer Harvey Specter. The show’s success spawned a short-lived spin-off, Pearson, which premiered alongside the final season on July 17, 2019.
Suits is about a lawyer who makes a living illegally taking the Law School Admission Test for others to pay for his grandmother’s care. In the pilot episode, Mike agrees to deliver a case of marijuana to his best friend Trevor, a drug dealer, for a large payout. The first season also introduces us to Mike’s and Rachel’s chemistry, which gives the audience a romantic perspective. In season five, Mike is abruptly arrested for fraud and turns himself in so that no one else will go to jail with him. He wins his freedom after secretly filming a murder attempt by Frank Gallo on camera.
In season 8, Robert is disbarred and forced to give up his law career for the good of the firm, while Mike and Rachel leave to start their own firm. As the season ends, Louis marries Sheila, Louis makes Katrina a name partner, and she gives birth to Louis’ baby.
Suits first appeared on USA Network’s development slate under the title A Legal Mind in April 2010. The pilot was intended to be a “half-hour Entourage-type based on my experiences working on Wall Street” Aaron Korsh later realized that the project should have hour-long episodes. Initially, Mike did not take LSATs for others and only pretends to have attended Harvard instead of pretending he attended Harvard and has a law degree. The pilot episode was filmed in New York City. The rest of the series is filmed in Toronto (at Downsview Park Studios), where the sets are built to be identical to the New York law offices seen in the pilot.
The USA had an advance pilot screening on June 2, 2011, at the Hudson River Park and distributed free Häagen-Dazs Sundaes cones at the viewing. “Greenback Boogie” by Ima Robot serves as the theme song of the show and was released as a single on September 18, 2010. A deleted scene leaked onto YouTube shows Victor Garber as Phillip Hardman, originally part of the pilot, but was ultimately cut during script rewrites.
