Chris McCumber Critics called the premise “ludicrous,” “idiotic” and “ill-conceived.” With that start, the team of us that launched “Suits” on USA Network never expected the show to become a global phenomenon. When the series debuted on June 23, 2011, we were nervous about its prospects.
A series about a fake lawyer from the network that just brought you Dule Hill in a series about a fake psychic. Seriously? So how did Suits, in its “third life” (after nine seasons on USA, reruns first ran on Amazon Prime Video before going to Netflix and Peacock), become one of the most-binged series despite the array of options available to viewers? More importantly, what can we learn from its late-stage popularity? First, the resurgence is a testament to the work by creator and showrunner Aaron Korsh, the large ensemble of great actors and the entire production team.
Second, its recent popularity can partly be attributed to the unrelenting power of Netflix’s platform and algorithm — which served up the series in a way that made it “must-binge TV.” How could you turn away from the scene in the pilot where Gabriel Macht’s powerful law firm partner Harvey Specter meets Patrick J. Adams’ cunning Mike Ross? “You give me this,” says Mike, “and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.” It’s a riveting scene, and the one that convinced us to greenlight the show.
There’s also another reason: “Suits” is easy! It’s easy on the eyes with good looking people in high-end environments. Easy on the mind, with plotlines that aren’t too complicated to follow while simultaneously scrolling social media.
Easy-to-root-for characters. In the current television landscape filled with

Editor’s Note: Journalist David Blum might have forever coined The Brat Pack era, but it was Carl Kurlander who provided the reason the infamous New York article got written. St. Elmo’s Fire was a script Kurlander wrote with director Joel Schumacher, inspired by events in his life. Now an academic, Kurlander has written several guest columns for Deadline including a 35th anniversary remembrance of St. Elmo’s Fire. Why is he tapping again into those memories? He just watched Brats, the Hulu documentary that premiered at Tribeca, directed by and starring Andrew McCarthy. He was part of the St. Elmo’s Fire ensemble that felt maligned by a mag article published the week before the film was released and became a surprise hit. Here, Kurlander supplies some great dish — did you know Demi Moore‘s drug demons almost forced Joel Schumacher to replace her with the young singer Madonna? Or that Georgetown shunned the movie for immoral activity but OK’d The Exorcist because despite the vile goings on involving a possessed child, evil didn’t win? A little of that stuff would have helped McCarthy’s docu, which gets tedious as he attempts to expunge demons, even as cohorts like Moore, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy seem to be humoring him on camera. After all, that film launched fine futures for them, even if the moniker stung. McCarthy paints journo Blum as a villain, but in fairness, The Brat Pack was a far more clever coinage than putting “gate” on the end of every scandal since Watergate. Blum also unwittingly etched into permanent Hollywood history the memory of those actors when they were young and gorgeous. Who wants to be forgotten?
