[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

I must be the only person who hates the show

 

[flight23]

looks that way

i think everyones expectations were low and no one is taking it too seriously

it’s a light show, not the wire

 

[alfy!]

not really that light, of course it isn't of the quality of shows like the wire, breaking bad and mad men, but this is a pretty great show

witty, quirky and high quality so far

 

[flight23]

yeah i just meant they don't really get overly emotional with what the clients are going through, normally one scene where they crack the sads, then get on with it

i've been loving it too

 

[drd23]

^ i.e its a typical USA Network show - Fun and not too serious. Its still better than most of the rubbish the the Australian networks serve up

 

[iDon]

rachel. just wow. unreal bird.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Problem with having a genius character is that he has to act like a total ****** every episode for the sake of exposition.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Not bad.

Mike is fun and the main part of the story but Harvey drives the episodes.

 

[Lemma]

Solid final episode

 

[drd23]

Predictable cliff hanger imo

Spoiler

They were telegraphing that Trevor was going to do that throughout the episode

 

[alfy!]

Good strong cliffhanger nonetheless.

 

[flight23]

yeah i'm lovin it

second season will have the Jessica in on it i reckon, and the season will end with louis getting more power in the firm and suspecting that somethings not right

but yeah i'm never hanging out for it, but whenever i watch it im always impressed

 

[RequiemBlade]

Next season starts next summer in the states

 

[Papa Juggs]

I'd like to think Jessica already knows.

She's not stupid.

Remember "If Jessica finds out what?" hehe

 

[beez]

OMG I didn't realise it was the series final til the end of the ep, so disappointed. Loved the ending!

 

[Papa Juggs]

I liked seeing some Star Trek guys for some bit parts.

Why do they all end up in legal/crime dramas

 

[Barnzy]

Solid finale although I was hoping for a bit more depth to the cliffhanger ending. Not much happened despite setting the storyline up for early next season. Agree that it was definitely a bit predictable they were going in this direction ---->

Spoiler

Disgruntled bad guy ex boyfriend to cause trouble for Mike with him now dating Jenny. Knew it would happen as soon as Trevor was sent off for a little trip mid season and knew he would come back.

Overall I'd give the first season at least a 7.5/10. I also agree with the above that it's not one of the shows I'm desperately hanging out to watch the very first minute a new ep is out but when I get a chance I thoroughly enjoy it.

NY Times review sort of nails why I don't like USA Network shows (WWE Raw excepted ) http://tv.nytimes.com/2011/06/23/arts/television/suits-on-usa-review.html

lol I was actually thinking as I watched the pilot "why is it always brilliant blue sunshine on the USA Network?"

It's inoffensive enough but I couldn't get into it for the same reason I couldn't really get into White Collar. Burn Notice fills my quota for these sorts of shows.

yeah definitely agree on the comparison to white collar and burn notice

ive spent the last few months watching all 3

 

[drd23]

Theres a reason that the comparison works - all USA Network shows work on similar premises and have the same format (basic procedural with a season long element that provides the cliff hangers)

 

[Caesar]

Does Suits have a character who's prone to using cheesy accents at the drop of a hat? That would be another similarity.

Nice try.

Wait who does that on White Collar either?

 

[drd23]

Accents? They are all the same

(And of the 4 USA shows I watch, Michael Weston is the only one that does that)

 

[Caesar]

The criminal guy uses accents on White Collar at least sometimes. I've seen him speak with a hokey Southern accent, and I've only seen a handful of episodes.

 

[flight23]

yeah in both white collar and burn notice, they go "undercover", doesn't really happen in suits
