While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory.
How intense is Suits?
Suits has no gore and no real violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch and fine in the background. The humor runs dry. Rated TV-14.
