So over the weekend, I brought myself up to speed on Suits. I like it.

I found the characterizations in the first few eps to be a little over-reaching, but am glad that they have backed off the whole Harvard thing, and at this point I can think of a few more believable ways to make him an outsider, but as they haven't made it central to every episode-it works.

I will say one thing...I appreciate that its quick. I tried getting into Mad men but I found the first season to just be so slow that it didn't hook me in.

I think the only real thing they are missing is a distinct visual style. If you think about any of the shows that go on to capture the masses, they all have a unique style that you can be sitting in front of a random clip and immediately know what you are watching.

Now that I'm up to speed, I can't wait for the next new ep...this whole donna thing is a nice twist.
