Fuck yeah I'll be watching it! Although I thought season 2 jumped the shark a little, it's still a great show.

Of course, the show that I'm most anxious for is the last season of "Breaking Bad."

 

Sort of agree with mbavsmfin in that season 2 wasn't as great but I'll tune in. Interestingly enough my Dad was a corporate attorney at a prominent DC firm and he said Season 1 was as realistic a lawyer show as he'd ever seen in terms of how Harvey negotiates. Obviously cases that take a few days in the show would take 9 months but the use of pressure points and tough negotiating was pretty on target.

Not to thread-jack, but are any of you watching Ray Donovan? Fuck me, Micky Donovan could teach Dexter a thing or two about being a psycho. Gotta be the most evil character on TV right now.

I saw some ads for it a while back, will definitely check it out.

And so stoked for new Suits, almost forgot

Love where this show's going. Not only is Liev Schreiber being his typical badass self, but like you said, Mickey is one sociopathic fuck. Ray's daughter getting involved with that black justin beiber kid is going to prove quite controversial in the episodes to come.

Will any of you fellow monkeys be tuning in to USA at 10 pm tonight to watch it?

Definitely a guilty pleasure. Not on the level of Game of Thrones or Mad Men, but it's fun to watch and Harvey is definitely THAT guy

Good premier ... was still hoping for less drama and more cases, but still good.

Actually, I was hoping for an overflow of drama and less legal mumbo jumbo and that's exactly what I got. Solid premier.

Mike and Rachel...SPICY (minus the pillow talk)

Harvey and Mike...SPICY

Jessica and Harvey...SPICY

Louis and that British guy...SPICY

Donna and Louis...now friends? NOT SPICY

Louis and Mike...still friendly? NOT SPICY

Mike and Jessica...NOT SPICY ENOUGH

Harvey and Dana...SUPER SPICY

All in all..................VERY VERY SPICY

 

Decent premiere. Excited to see all the internal espionage, really feel they added an interesting layer with that merger. Several new characters available now to be more fully developed (Darby, for instance, and Nigel certainly) as foils for the main crew. I wasn't happy with how things ended with the back half of S2, but this looks promising.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

Love Ray Donovan. I look forward to it more than Dexter.

Yeah I will be tuned in. Donna (Sarah Rafferty) is basically the perfect woman in my eyes.

^^^^^ This. She's smokin hot.

Well,

I'm waiting to see how a Game of Suits turns out. I hope there is enough quality screen time between Lord Varys and Lady Catelyn Stark to make this season worth all the hype. Better yet, I want to know what the secret Lord Varys is hiding about Lady Catelyn Stark. I mean, we all know Lord Varys was complicit in killing Lord Eddard Stark, but I really want to see how this whole thing plays out. I just imagine something insane being played out there. Then again, I'm curious to see how this season plays out. It could be fun and undue the sophomore slump of last season or it could be a few seasons of shlock before getting back to the good stuff. We'll see.

Eddie, Ray Donovan looks fantastic. I'm just waiting for the entire season to air so I can session is over a weekend. It's definitely going to be awesome. Just the cast alone makes it worth watching.

 

Glad to know I'm not the only one watching USA, although I'm more focused on the final season of Burn Notice (cheesy and awesome) and Neil Caffrey/White Collar.

I do watch Suits off and on, is it worth watching part of season 2 before I jump in on season 3?

 

I freaking love the conflict between harvey and mike, upcoming power struggle between jessica and harvey and the long overdue romance between mike and rachel. Looking forward to this season. I hope hardman makes a comeback somehow; he's such a great actor (gale bertram from "breaking bad")

 

I thought it was pretty good, would've liked less drama but oh well. It's kinda predictable what's gonna happen though. Power struggle between Harvey and Jessica when they both know Mike's secret. Jessica will probably try to leverage Mike with it and a promotion to Sr. Associate or something.

Why can't anyone there just pull strings and get him into Harvard Law if he gets a top LSAT score, and just keep it a secret from everyone else? Also, I thought it was complete bullshit that they couldn't pull strings for Rachel to get in.

 

One of the most unrealistic plot lines has been the fact that rachel, a half black female and daughter of a powerful corporate lawyer, scores a 172 LSAT and still gets dinged by Harvard Law. In real life, she would have been a lock.

We have Suits, and we have House Of Lies. So, the question is - how long until someone comes up with a TV series about banking?

Suits was originally supposed to be about banking, but they changed it.

Back on topic though...premiere was awesome and definitely set up some great plot lines for this season. Hardly recognized Catelyn Stark until she spoke.

Who wants to watch other people format excel spreadsheets?

Now making a TV show based on "Leveraged Sellout" or "Damn it Feels Good to be a Banker" on the other hand...I would watch. Still, the "Wolf of Wall Street" movie should hold me over.

Yeah that's what I'm sayin man. Maybe its just because on WSO we all know so much about admissions and the power of networking, but the fact she got dinged REALLY killed that moment of the show for me.

I think a show about banking could be cool, I really don't think it'd be much different from how it currently runs. Harvey would still always be dealing with clients, and Mike doing the paperwork/filing/modeling/etc. I don't know where they'd fit Rachel in though.

She can still be a paralegal. There will just be that one paralegal at the bank and she'll always be really busy and nobody will ever know what she's working on.

If I had to choose between watching paint dry and a drama about investment banking, I'd probably choose the paint

Anyone else think this week's episode was over the top with the drama? Was rolling my eyes the entire time

I thought it was better than the season premier, but I thought the drama was still kinda over the top. I laughed my ass off when Louis started to cry at the end.
