Suits

Completely moved out of Seremban yesterday.
Cleaned my room, locked up and threw the keys away (literally ...well, into the house, after I'd locked up)
2 years of my life, packed up into neat little boxes and whisked away.

I have too many feels right now.

So what I'm going to do about it is..
I'm going to write an entire blog post about Suits.





Because I'm deflecting my emotionsss.

And because Suits really is effing awesome and warrants a blog post of its own, instead of just the ILOVEHARVEYSPECTER /almost/picspam in the post below.
And as far as I'm concerned, everyone on the planet should watch it okay.

Plus I still have alot of Suits feels from the summer finale episode from Friday. :(



My mother yesterday :
Why did we finish watching Suits so fast? Why?

Me :
I dunno. Let's rewatch the last episode. That one was awesome.

Mum :
Let's rewatch the whole of season 2.

Me :
Let's rewatch from season 1.

Mum :
YES.



I think fangirling runs in my genes or something.
But it's really because this show is so wonderful even my mother watches it.

Anywayyyy.



(Now, I'm going to try and do this without too much fangirling over the characters, so..)

Suits.

Two lawyers, one degree.
(this tagline is everywhere)

Its basically a show about two men (hint : BROMANCE GALORE!) :



1. Harvey Specter

The suave, smart, sexy corporate lawyer - the best closer the city has ever seen - who works for the firm PearsonHardman.
He thinks he's better than everyone else (most of the time he is), is against having emotion or caring for people,
and pretty much just walks all over everybody. Because he can.



In the beginning of the show, Harvey gets promoted to Senior Partner at PearsonHardman,
which means he needs to hire a personal associate to work for him.
And PearsonHardman only accepts graduates from Harvard Law.
But Harvey's a lone ranger and doesn't want an associate, unless he can find another Harvey (make sense?)

So naturally, they have to hold interviews to recruit a new associate...

and in stumbles..



2. Mike Ross

Unemployed, stoned most of the time, and is best friends with a drug dealer.
Also has a photographic memory ("when I read something, I understand it, and when I understand it, I remember it for life") but no college degree.
The only way Mike knows how to make money is by getting paid to take tests/exams for other people.



Now, the only family Mike has left is his grandmother, and he wants to put her into a nursing home, for which, he of course needs more money.
Which he doesn't have, considering cheating on tests doesn't really pay all that well.

So he agrees to deliver weed (a one-time thing) for his best friend to - wait for it - the very same hotel where the interviews are being held for the new PearsonHardman associates.
The only problem is that the deal was a set-up and Mike has to run away from cops and runs riiiight into the PearsonHardman interview room.

And then, long story short - he impresses Harvey with his knowledge of law (he read some law book once - photographic memory yo) but the problem is of course that he doesn't have a law degree,
BUT, Harvey, being Harvey-I-DO-WHAT-I-WANT-Specter, decides to hire him anyway.
And keep it secret from everyone else, of course.


Cue DRAMAAAA. LOTS OF DRAMA.
LOTS OF BROMANCING.
LOTS OF EPIC LAWYER STUFF.

(I'm sorry, I can't write serious posts)

Disclaimer : I am not writing spoilers ok. Everything above happens within like the first 30 minutes of the pilot.
This not a spoiler post.

The rest of the characters that deserve to be mentioned :




3. Donna Paulsen

Harvey's personal assistant/secretary.
She is AWESOME.
Awesome.
She's one of the two people who can really stand up to Harvey, and who doesn't take his bullshit. They've been working together since forever, and Harvey treats her as more of his equal, despite her being his secretary and all.
(I want to grow up and be Donna ok)




4. Jessica Pearson

Managing partner of PearsonHardman,
also the only other person besides Donna who can put Harvey in his place.
She put Harvey through law school, and is sort of a mentor to him, and Harvey is fiercely loyal to her.
She's just incredibly elegant.
There's no other word for it. She's pretty damn awesome too. I honestly can't choose between her and Donna for the Most Awesome Female on The Show award.




5. Louis Litt


The antagonist.
I'm not calling him the villain, because he isn't really. He's just that annoying character who ruins everyone's plans and gets in everyone's way all of the time.
Louis is a Junior Partner at PearsonHardman, and he resents Harvey for being promoted to Senior Partner, because he obviously thinks he deserved that promotion instead.
He's also in charge of all the associates, which also makes him Mike's boss (so Mike technically has two bosses - Louis and Harvey, geddit?) and delights in annoying Mike simply because Mike is Harvey's personal associate, therefore annoying Mike = annoying Harvey.
You can't hate Louis. He's just so misguided and such a loser. He's annoying, but you can't hate him.




6. Rachel Zane

Paralegal at PearsonHardman. She wants to be a lawyer, but can never seem to pass the LSATs.
Mike's love interest.
She was a bit annoying the first season, but in the second season she grew on me.







The characters, individually, are wonderful.

Harvey is just. Sexy.
Gabriel Macht, you beautiful, beautiful man. What amuses me most is that in real life, Gabriel is all blonde and I-hate-wearing-ties, and in the show he's just Harvey.
It's like two completely different people.
And I have a HUGE weakness for arrogant, suave men who dress well.
And he's so horribly syok-sendiri. Its so cute.
Harvey's my favourite. (duh)

My mum's favourite is Mike.
Mike is adoraaaaaaaaaable, but for me he's just this really cute, adorable lost puppy, with his bike and his disheveled appearance and how he's always in awe of Harvey even though he feels the need to control macho and not admit it.
And you can see that Harvey cares for him although he's insistent on being a robot with no emotions.

Donna and Jessica, as mentioned above, are AWESOME.
And Louis is just Louis. You have to watch the show to understand Louis.



But what really, really makes this show work is the dynamics between all the characters.
The dialogue is gold.
So much sarcasm, so much witty banter, so many insults hurled every which way.
It's like heaven in a tv show.



And the Harvey-Mike bromance is like something out of fanfiction...you just want to grab them both and cuddle them together because they're so effing cute together ohmygod.
And the way they just randomly quote movies at each other. comelssss.





And Harvey-Donna is askdsjdfshgh. I love arrogant!Harvey, but I love Donna trampling all over his ego even more.


Mike-Donna is adorable. Mike likes Donna (and vice versa) but he's also a wee bit scared of her and her sharp tongue.

Harvey-Jessica is wonderful. I love Jessica trampling all over Harvey's ego too.
Mike-Jessica is hilarious because he's terrified of her. And Jessica is all "you, rookie, get out of my way" because she's THE managing partner of PearsonHardman and she can't be bothered with adorable puppy rookies no matter how wonderful their memory is.

Harvey-Louis is ...you have to feel sorry for Louis. He just can't win.
Mike-Louis is almost similar to Harvey-Louis.
Donna-Louis is epic. I think Louis has the biggest crush on Donna and Donna just. well. crushes him. All. The time.
Jessica-Louis is nice though.

Rachel mostly interacts with Mike during the first season, but in the second season we get to see more of her interacting with other people,
and she's really not bad.





I love how in each episode they end up working on cases that somehow reflect what's happening in their lives.

I just really love this show okay.

The first season was more of individual cases in each episode, so you can pretty much just start watching any random episode from anywhere in the season,
but the second season had more of a continuous storyline so you have to keep up with the episodes to really get what's going on.
(Did that make sense?)

I can't decide if I like the first season better or the second.
I just love them both okay.
I love the plot, I love the character development,
I LOVE THE SUMMER FINALE EPISODE.

I thought it was going to be a sad episode, and I was all mentally prepared to cry inside,
and then it just turned out EPIC.
EPIC.
I WAS SQUEALING IN FRONT OF MY TV.

The second season hasn't quite finished though, this is just the summer finale,
and NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT FOUR MONTHS FOR THE NEXT SIX EPISODES.
WHICH COMES OUT IN JANUARY.
WHICH IS NOT COOL BECAUSE I HAVE EXAMS IN FEBRUARY.

And after that they'll say we have to wait for the third season which (hopefully) will be out in July/August next year.

>:(

The only thing I didn't like about the second season was Harvey's hair colour.
I get that Gabriel is blonde, and they probably just decided to not dye his hair this season,
but
no
Harvey is not blonde. Harvey is brunette ok.

Fix that, USA.







...

This was a horribly written post.

I apologize for not being koality but.
I was trying so hard not to fangirl, and so it all just came out sounding...weird.

Just google the show ok, you'll find better written reviews on some other blog.


BUT ANYWAY SINCE I'VE TAKEN THE TIME AND EFFORT TO WRITE THIS YOU SHOULD JUST ALL HUMOR ME AND GO WATCH SUITS KTHXBAI.

:3


And now I'm going to go curl up with my fluffy blankie and wail about how I don't get to see Harvey Specter's awesomeness until January.

I think I'll just end up rewatching both seasons obsessively until the new eps come out.

yes.
good plan.
