Harvey’s Moments of Goodness: Suits “Blood in the Water” and “Blind-Sided”

Photo credit: USA Network

Here at TV Goodness, we make no secret of our mad, bad, dangerous love for Gabriel Macht and all things Harvey, and “Blood in the Water” last night, and “Blind-Sided” last week, gave us a spectrum of Harvey goodness. Honestly, y’all, my head spun a bit as he went from biting to sweet back to biting to funny to concerned to conciliatory. I hit rewind a few times because it really was genius the way Macht flitted back and forth—sometimes in the same scene— between Harvey’s emotions. Let’s break it down.

Suits Preview: “The Choice” [+ VIDEO]

Warning: Vague spoilers discussed

It’s official. The second season of USA Network’s Suits is even better than the first. The drama has been upped to an entirely new level and the complexity of the various relationships at Pearson Hardman has intensified thanks to Hardman’s imminent return. This one act has created so much goodness and has resulted in Jessica being even more of a presence (thankfully). It’s also made keeping Mike’s secret that much more important.

In tonight’s episode, “The Choice,” the tension at the law firm is cranked up.

2011’s Most Memorable Episodes: Suits “Dog Fight”

Suits was my favorite new show of the summer. Not only did it hook me in from the pilot, but it seemed to get better and more involving with every week. I was already a fan of Gabriel Macht and Gina Torres, but Patrick J. Adams was new to me. It would’ve been easy to pick any of this season’s great episodes as the most memorable, but there were a few things that happened in “Dog Fight” that made it a keeper on my DVR.

Tina’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Suits’ Gabriel Macht

I don’t mind letting you guys know I’m missing USA Network’s Suits terribly. We still have something like six months to go and I’m not doing well without it. This first-season series quickly became my summer TV obsession. The writing is crackling good — it’s one of those shows where there’s an abundance of good dialogue, witty banter and biting one-liners. It’s fun, smart and continually surprising. It also has a great opening theme song. I adore the cases as much as I worship the characters and their drama. Bonus for not having many scenes located in a courtroom, by the way. I kind of like that much of the negotiating, posturing and manipulating that actually goes on takes place in law offices, boardrooms, conference rooms and pretty much anywhere other than courtrooms.

Heather’s Top 3 Summer Shows: #1 USA’s Suits

Last, but by no means, least, Suits is my #1 pick of the summer.

As y’all know, due to technical difficulties, a DVR hiccup at the beginning of August wiped out about two years of programming. Among the shows that went poof was Suits, which I’d been dutifully recording every week and kept meaning to watch but hadn’t gotten around to yet, and then the eps were gone. Something or other flipped a switch for me a couple of weeks ago when I saw they were double running them on Thursdays and I thought, what the hell, I’ll bite now and catch up later. Holy cats, y’all. This is some damn good TV.

My (Many) Thoughts on Suits “Rules of the Game”

Not sure if I’m Team Jenny or Team Rachel. I thought for sure I was going to be a Mike-Rachel shipper but I keep liking Jenny more and more each time she’s part of the action.

That young Harvey picture Rachel found is classic. His hair is like highlighted and a little bit in his face instead of that slicked back look he often goes with at work. You know his badass Harvey ‘do? The one that tells everyone to get out of his effin’ way? So happy to know he wasn’t always that put together.

High Quality

USA Network’s Suits has officially been renewed! The show received a 16-episode order for Season 2. This is pretty much a no brainer on USA’s part but it’s still awesome news since the hit series is one of the best shows of this summer. And if you’re not watching yet, it’s not too late. Reasons to tune in: 1) The cast is wonderful; 2) The cases are interesting and often exciting and don’t always take place in a courtroom, which is a bonus for those who aren’t normally in love with legal shows (like me); 3) The Gabriel Macht hotness; 4) The Harvey Specter-Mike Ross relationship that’s at the heart of this series; 5) The Patrick J. Adams hotness. TV Goodness highly recommends Suits which airs tonight at 10/9C on USA Network.—Tina Charles

Character Analysis: Harvey Specter & Mike Ross, Suits “Errors and Omissions”

Photo Credit: Christos Kalohoridis/USA Network

The second episode of USA Network’s Suits was even better than the first which is always a good sign. We’re finding out more about what the characters are made of and that makes for great TV. Take Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht. He’s such an interesting person. He immediately comes off beyond arrogant and as if he doesn’t care about anything or anyone but he also has this set of rules for himself that is surprising. In “Errors and Omissions” we find out Harvey doesn’t mess around with married women.

Summer TV Crush: Gabriel Macht, Suits

Photo Credit: USA Network

So I have a thing for Gabriel Macht, back to an NBC The X-Files-type show (with an XF pedigree in Glen Morgan and James Wong) called The Others that he did for NBC a decade ago. So much so, that he was the original draw when I saw The Recruit, before Colin Farrell (with whom he also co-starred in American Outlaws) was ever on my radar.
