Because there’s so little to do in lockdown, I thought to watch a few episodes of Suits. It’s pretty awful, not least because both the male leads are so unappealing. Harvey (Gabriel Macht) is an insecure arrogant creep who has Mommy issues and clearly needs a controlling female influence. Mike Ross (Patrick Adams) is supposedly hyper intelligent slacker orphan turned fake lawyer, has dreadful judgement and is a know-it-all twerp. The less said about the grotesque Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), a walking advert for anti-semitism, the better.
The female characters are much more interesting. Firm boss Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) is magnificent, poor little rich kid turned glorious leader. Donna Paulsen (The Donna), played by Sarah Rafferty, is an all competent, 'sassy' redhead pa turned COO and is the heart of the series with a great walk. Smaller roles such as Sheila Sazs and Dana Scott are interesting and well played (the former by Rachel Harris, also excellent in the disappointing Lucifer).
The plots are formulaic. There is some witty banter, but baddies are mostly cardboard cutout and dull.
And as for Meghan? Well it’s all there to see, and always was. She’s whiny, manipulative and entitled. When playing sympathetic, it doesn’t seem genuine, and the idea of her as a top notch legal analyst is nigh on laughable.
She’s not even that attractive. Figure is slightly odd (lower half heavy) and she is not at all graceful in movement.
I would rank all the other main females in the show of more worthy as objects of submission and devotion.
My ranking of the ladies?
1. Gina
2. Donna
3. Sheila
4. Dana
5. Rachel
My ranking of the show?
3 stars, largely because of the high number of powerful beautiful Women.
