Summer is not only the time for blockbusters at the movies but also we get some fun tv shows to entertain us while those hot days when we just want to be inside close to our A/C relaxing and home. And by fun not always has to be trashy fun but a well made show that will caught you enough to be willing to follow episode by episode instead of a beach day or going hiking with friends. This might be the case of "Suits" (2012-current). A legal drama that actually moves more in between the lines of comedy than dramedy but it's their sharp and clever dialogue that stands against other legal dramas quoting pop culture while navigating through the waters of law and it's cons and perks. And while not as intense and political charged as their competitors, definitely more fun and accessible for those looking to have a scoop of law while having a good time. Yet it's lightness have made it a success for it's network and a favorite of audiences, while won't win any award or have been nominated yet, it's fan base is bigger than others acclaimed legal dramas or comedies currently in tv, and that uniqueness makes it a charm a worth to watch summer entertainment, even that summer it's almost over.

The story follows Mike Ross, a young guy that is having a hard time figuring out what to do with his life. Became orphan at a young age, living under his grandmother care, but this missing piece made him alienate himself from the rest only finding some connections through his best friend and his girlfriend. So while living in the in legal spectrum got expelled from college and now trying to make some money to survive helping his friends with some risky business that my coincidence led him to meet lawyer Harvey Specter, a popular and well known lawyer in the city, best known as a closer because his talent to close any case no matter how impossible it might look. This talent have made him a bit of a cocky jerk unable to be humble enough to find an assistant to help him as a new partner in the firm he works at. Until by accident Mike crashes into his interviewing process and challenges him for a chance to be hired . Only detail, Mike has no degree as was expelled from college but he knows all the law and bars by memory but still can't be hired as one policy of the firm is to hire only graduates from Harvard. 

Impressed by the young guy talent and driven personality, Harvey decides to give him a chance hiring him and faking all needed to pretend he is the right candidate and so the two will became partners at work and friends out of it, a Batman for his Robin. Even the relationship won't cross some private lines, but he as his mentor will push him to decide to take a leap of faith moving forward his last life, leaving old friendships that are not good influence for him and baiting all he has into this job. And as he gets deeper into it, he will prove his own talent able of photograph memory will help him to solve cases and face other well prepared and experienced lawyers. And here is where the show loses the reality line to become more of a parody in the law concept. When things are happening in a way that in reality they won't we start feeling like this is more a super hero tale than a legal drama but we are able to move forward those facts like this young guy talent to memorize almost everything making him able to practice law fooling everyone around him, and this two lawyers pairing up to become a dream team able to deal and close almost every case in town, it's just hard to believe but can't deny the journey is hilarious and a hell of a fun ride as their charisma and chemistry will make you root for them and want see them get away with whatever they want.

But then we are taken back to real stuff when this two men have to deal with their lives out of the firm. The young Mike trying to find love between old lovers and girlfriends while trying to make things happen with a co worker with whom happened to have a strong connection and working together long hours is not helping to fade it away so either their are trapped in this game or they are meant for each other even somethings things work in mysterious ways. Specially when he faces as any other young professional the point of deciding between your job and your personal life. Having to choose between what you feel passionate about or the passion of love and live is not an easy call that most of us have to face in certain point as the road to success in any career will make you choose what is that you looking for in a long term run and specially what will make you happy, being successful in your field or building a life with someone, family, friends, partner.

And that's a reminder that our other charming lawyer has to face everyday. Even he is living the life he always wanted for himself and is not only one of the most eligible bachelors in town, able to have any woman he wants as he is not only successful but easy to the eye, but he has paid the price. He lives by himself in his luxury apartment committed to the life and job he dreamed of. But as law can be a shark tank where everybody stab you in the back and it's all about power and winning, he likes to look fashionable staying calm, wearing his high quality suits and moving into dark waters confident and arrogant as he can to intimidate and read others intentions so he can figure out what's hiding behind the case and will bring the clue to win. So when we see these two trying to survive against others envy and challenges of a city like NYC, we can't buy recall of our hopes and deans of a better life doing what we always wanted to. What would we need to do to fight and achieve that dream job that will give us the opportunity of make a difference and do what we feel we are the best at. But mostly that will help us to figure out what we are made of, what are we capable of and discover any of the talents that make us unique and we all have but just a few had noticed and that's the key to build a thicker skin and face the world proving we are not only a pretty face or a hot body but also a mind full of talent and a personality with many shades able to surprise and charm anyone while defining what success means for each one and realize that we become a different person day by day and that actually suits us well.
