It’s been years since “Suits” ended in 2019, but it’s still as popular as ever. The legal drama originally premiered on USA Network in 2011 and instantly became a hit. Now, over a decade later, it’s gaining all new fans thanks to it being added to Netflix and Peacock, breaking several streaming records since joining the platform in June, according to Deadline.
The show follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who has a photographic memory. His skills impress lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) so much that he asks Mike to join his law firm on the spot. Despite Mike not having any background in law, he joins Harvey’s team, and the pair go on to become powerful allies. While the series primarily focuses on their partnership and legal cases, it also follows the personal lives of Mike, Harvey, and their colleagues, including Rachel Zane, played by Meghan Markle before she joined the royal family.
