American lawyer comedy drama set in New York about a guy with a photographic memory who falls into a job in a big legal firm.

Lots of putting one over the next guy. It's 2 episodes in and I'm really enjoying it. Anyone seen it?

I tried. Thought it was ho-hum run of the mil pish. I decided not to bother with the second episode.

Enjoyed it. A bit more believable than "Franklin and Bash" in that you can believe they are Lawyers.

I saw some of the first episode and all of second. I like it but it's no replacement for Boston Legal.

The story of how he started with the firm is a bit too far fetched, but other than that it is a good watch. No idea if it is close to reality, but you sort imagine that is how big time lawyers live, swanning about in swish suits, sticking the knife in whenever necessary.

Watched some 40 minutes of the first episode but quickly started to realise why it popped up on Dave: thin on plot, very poor dialogue (I switched over when the lead character said ‘I need someone who is going to take this job God damn seriously,’ as if the writers wanted to add a swear word but settled for ‘God damn!’) and average acting.

Amazed it seems to have made season 2 when so much good US TV is cancelled early.

wow - cant disagree more
one of the best things i've seen on TV in a while - but it might be that it just appeals to my sense of humour/interest specifically
really enjoying it so far.....sick of VERY SERIOUS law dramas

Requires very little brain but really enjoying it; snappy dialogue raises a good few smiles.

I've been quite enjoying it.

I think it can't last forever. How far can they carry the brilliant-but-ignorant newbie before he is just the dogs whatsits. For now though, it is better than anything else on a Tuesday evening.

I really like it too, suprisingly witty for a US sitcom.

US comedy is lightyears ahead at British at the moment I reckon - some of their writing is phenomenal.

Suits stays at a consistently high level for the whole season and has already been renewed.
