I always enjoy this show. It's a nice legal soap
opera/drama/comedy with lots of fun backstabbing, banter,
and plot twists and turns.
In this season's premiere episode, "The Arrangement",
Harvey is still very pissed at both Jessica and Mike. He
butts heads with Darby, too. Mike works hard to try to win
Harvey's friendship back. There's also a great little
secondary plot with Louis and that other guy from the
British law firm that is like Louis. Rachel and Mike fight
and...well, make up, too. They sure crammed a lot into
this episode!
It's well worth watching...make sure you catch it!
"The Arrangement" Airdate: Tuesday July 16 @ 10/9C With
the merger complete, Jessica's new partnership with Darby
(guest star Conleth Hill) is tested when he assigns Harvey a
high-profile client who faces the loss of her company if
Harvey can't prove her innocence. Mike works to reconcile
with Harvey and to manage the fallout from his revelation to
Rachel.

What a tangled web Suits has woven. The July 16th season
premiere opened a Pandora’s box of complications,
manipulations, lying and complex maneuvering. Picking up
where last season’s finale left off, Jessica and Harvey are
on the outs following the merger with Darby; Harvey and Mike
are on the outs because of Mike’s deal with Jessica, and
Mike and Rachel are in this weird gray space that is both
sweet and sour. So taut is the tension in this episode, that
it seems the theme for season three is betrayal with a whole
lot of talk about loyalty.
Harvey, still exuding uptown cool and polished guile, is
stinging from Jessica’s refusal to make him partner and is
trapped in a contract that makes him bound to the new firm,
Pearson and Darby. As the episodes builds to the climactic
end, we see Harvey set up the trajectory for the entire
season as he approaches the new partner to enlist him in a
plan to take Jessica down. I guess Mommy and Daddy are doing
more than separating.
Without Mike’s acting as the affable foil to Harvey’s jaded
cynicism and sexy aloofness, the two are floundering as
individuals when they worked so well as a team. It is hard
for us to watch as they perform in scenes without each
other, and when they are on screen together the dynamic
turns sad as we watch Mike try to regain the favor of his
mentor, who has written him off (or so they want us to
believe). Most of what I enjoyed most about this show was
the relationship between Mike and Harvey, but I am intrigued
and expectant, waiting on USA to flesh this out.
All the other storylines are second-tier compared to Harvey
and Mike, but I am entertained by the friendship between
Donna and Rachel. They add a sparkle to the clean lines of
this show, and inject a much need bit of estrogen to a very
masculine world. The silliness they bring, coupled with this
Louis/Nigel bit give us a breather to digest all the complex
sneaking and gaming that is going on throughout.
All in all, I am enthused by the first episode, although the
lawyering and manipulating was a little hard to keep track
of. If anybody over at USA is listening, I want them to know
that they MUST get Harvey and Mike back together soon, or
else I might lose interest... well I probably won’t, but its
a much better show when they are on the same side.
