‘Suits’ Season 1, Episode 1
If you spent any part of 2023 wondering why on Earth everyone seemed to be watching this largely forgotten USA Network drama, the answer lies in its stellar pilot episode. It’s not often that a show hooks viewers in one try, but Suits manages to do just that. The pilot episode doesn’t shy away from the fact that the characters may be talented, but they’re not all as virtuous as we might expect them to be. Despite all their flaws and the shoddy acting, each character proves to be so equally compelling that you enjoy every second of the pilot. Episode one introduces Mike Ross, a talented but slightly rebellious young man who gets offered the chance of a lifetime from successful attorney, Harvey Specter – but, there’s a catch. Once you make it to the second episode, you’ll be amazed by how much of the show they established in the first episode. It’s a refreshing reminder of just how good television used to be.
