Reservation At Dorsia I don't know if you've ever watched Mad Men but as someone who gave up and recently got back into it...its worth giving it a second chance.

Getting back to the topic at hand for me its Don Draper > Harvey Specter > Bobby Axelrod (a very distant 3rd) simply because Axe dabbles in insider trading and break the rules whereas the first two don't.

Don Draper from the early seasons was a strategic thinker who didn't have problems telling clients they were idiots and that without the magic of Don they would be fucked (albeit with much more tact).

Harvey is the definition of "back him into a corner he comes out swinging harder." Yes he's broken the law but the way he can think through problems like a chess player and imagine possible moves several layers deep is very much needed in today's world.

Bobby Axelrod is a good character in that he's driven and obviously made it despite coming from a rather lackluster background (non-targets will love him) but I'd much rather have Don or Harvey on my team depending on the situation.

 

I am a big fan of both Suits and Billions and I have to say that Bobby Axelrod>Don Draper>Harvey Specter. Axelrod is by far the most well-adjusted and successful of the three (Both Draper and Specter still answer to clients).

Suits in general is just absurdly over-the-top, Billions less so, while Mad Men is probably a more realistic portrayal of advertising in the 60's and 70's.

 

Bobby may be the most successful, but also highly fraudulent. Idgaf about how he makes his money, but I was excited to see a show where even if there is some fraudulent activity, there is still the knowledge that Bobby made his money by being a smart frickin guy instead of purely relying on inside info
