Every now and then, a TV show comes along that captures the hearts and minds of viewers. Suits is one of those shows. Originally airing from 2011 to 2019, this legal drama became a fan favorite. All thanks to its sharp dialogues, intense courtroom scenes, and unforgettable characters. But like many great shows, it eventually ended.
But years after, Suits is making a huge comeback because of The Netflix Effect. When a show lands on Netflix, it often attracts a new audience and becomes more popular. This is exactly what happened with Suits. It came on Netflix in June 2023 and racked up an impressive 20 billion minutes of viewing time. This popularity led to a spinoff series called Suits: LA. It will premiere in the 2025-2026 season. But before watching that you need to watch/ rewatch these 10 Suits episodes for sure.
