Suits, Season 3
created by Aaron Korsh (USA Network, 2013-2014)
Comedy drama Suits reiterates its initial conceit — a young lawyer conspires with his mentor to practise without a licence — season three taking the premise to its logical conclusion. It’s hard not to envisage future plotlines and characterisations degenerating into absurdity.

Already there is a suggestion that Suits, through an increasing focus on interpersonal drama and the perennial need to manufacture season-spanning plot arcs, might come to fritter away its edgy appeal. For now, however, it’s backstabbing, one-upmanship and legal subterfuge as usual.
Suits, Season 1
created by Aaron Korsh (USA Network, 2011)
A thoroughly addictive legal drama, neatly scripted and retaining its levity while focussing as much on the firm’s savagely Machiavellian internal politics as its cases. New senior partner Harvey Specter takes on an associate who, despite his brilliance, doesn’t have a degree.
