Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenJun 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: On a scale of TV series that shoot for the high end of mediocre, USA's Suits fares far better than the recently introduced TNT legal drama "Franklin & Bash." The guys in Suits are more likable, and the legal stories a little more grounded in reality. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you can get past the setup of Suits, the ride could be fun. Read full review

The Huffington PostMaureen RyanJun 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: It hasn't yet proven that it can find consistently satisfying things to do with the legal drama (Harvey's "closing" scenes are fun though I can see them becoming a bit of a crutch). Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandJun 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: This is what USA does best, and Suits has a good shot of staying on the team. The only real danger is whether viewers will reach the saturation point for this kind of show. That's possible, even if the premise for Suits isn't. Read full review

The New York TimesGinia BellafanteJun 22, 2011
Season 1 Review: Though the series begins amusingly enough, it quickly descends into cloying buddy escapade, in which the full-of-heart slacker seeks to teach his careerist boss how to care, and the careerist boss teaches his moldable young thing about cunning and diligence and clothes that cost a mortgage payment.

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertJun 22, 2011
Season 1 Review: It's too bland to elicit very strong feelings either for or against. It's a legal drama with the same kind of buddy dynamic as "Psych" and "White Collar," and by the end of the hour--or, just for tonight, the hour and 20 minutes--I felt like shrugging my shoulders. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The pilot episode definitely would have benefited from a less-is-more approach, while the series as a whole could use a little more meat and/or logic. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJun 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: The supporting cast (including Torres and Rick Hoffman as a rather suspicious attorney who can't stand Harvey) almost redeems the show, but they amount to accessories, while the two primary pieces aren't especially colorful. Read full review
