The original “Suits” series, renowned for its sharp wit, dynamic characters, and compelling legal battles, followed the prodigious Mike Ross and the suave Harvey Specter as they navigated the high-stakes world of a fictional New York City law firm, Pearson Hardman. With a stellar cast that included Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina Torres, the show enjoyed a successful nine-season run, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of television drama.
