This is a great BINGE WATCHING show when you want something guaranteed to make you laugh out loud every time you watch it, and then weep a bit at the sad state of their lives most of the time. The supporting cast (the head doctor of the hospital whose only concern has to be $$$$ and the guy who moved to GROUND FLOOR as the same gravelly voiced boss and of course the janitor who knew everything) were all superb.
NEW UPDATE: The FIFTH SEASON has improved,majorly interesting plot twists, except that Donna is still kind of over the top ego-wise. I hope she mellows a bit.
Seems as if I am not the only one who thinks that SUITS is finally past its "best by" date. I still enjoy some of the characters, but they are all suffering the fates of people who have just too darned many life or death circumstances and close calls to believe the whole thing is still hanging together. Plus Harvey is getting on my nerves with his exacting code of ethics on some things and bendability on others.
and now for something totally different NOT, but very well done detective show where the lead has all the bad habits and no good ones. Great supporting cast of flawed characters who are just trying to get by.
(this one is growing on me...episode BOGEYMAN gives backstory for two of the characters of interest) The preacher man is also a nice twist on religion without bashing it.
Catch it while you can. It has some charming moments, but not sure there is enough opening for new characterization and not just remakes of others.
Thank you for bringing Michael Bolton to a new level of entertainment enlightenment. and god bless the IRS (yes, I mean that).
And last week was just as amazing. it BECOMES part of your shared concept with the rest of the world when he helps to understand WHISTLEBLOWING with dickpics. How can people think of that?
Tackling tough subjects with humor is the hallmark of Comedy Central's spawning ground for incredibly insightful news commentary. John Oliver has moved to HBO so he can use the F word and do full frontal nudity...well, something like that.
OMG, NO! I just realized that this is one of the few shows on TV that really understands PRIVILEGE...and shows someone who cares about changing things and now they are going to cancel it, sigh.
Just picked up on this on episode four and LOVED IT. Lucifer's character is so adorably oblivious to the idea that any mere mortal woman could withstand his charms. Let's see what the power of WITHHOLDING SEX does to the devil.
UPDATE...i have saved this for a binge watch, and now it will be on NETFLIX to continue, I think.
I enjoyed this. The characters were developing well, and had a quirky relationship that could have taken a couple seasons to become boring. Some of the supporting cast were especially interesting.
For anyone interested in politics, this is a GEM. For those interested in downright great writing, DITTO, or just hilarious situational comedy DITTO AGAIN. Don't miss it!
The four main characters are 3 dimensional real human beings with some really strange foibles and obnoxious political views at times, but they are consistent in their views except when they are not wanting to be consistent. All the topics are on the table...LGBT, corruption,lobbying and influence peddling just to name a few. The resolutions come with incredibly creative solutions every time, not just your expected endings.
This is a public service show concerning issues of MENTAL HEALTH, and very well done. I will miss this when it is gone. His vulnerability and his lack of flexibility (organic grapefruit or die!) are constant reminders of the strengths and weaknesses we all have, only the names have been changed to protect the guilty (If you don't remember that line in its original form, it is from DRAGNET circa 1960)
His constant reminder that HE would not have been successful without the tremendous understanding of his friends (both real and imagined) remind us to cut people some slack when they are brave enough to admit they might need mental health services. My own introduction to the good services in Chicago in the 70's (helped me through a tough life experience and set me on a path to self-awareness that has lasted decades) always makes me wonder why the STIGMA is still so strong to being willing to ask or accept help.
