At some point, Pearson is going to have to make a choice. For me, right now, after “The Donor,” that choice is clear: Dump Bobby Novak. And I don’t even mean dump him completely as in fire the actor, he…
‘Suits’ 9×06 Review: Whatever it Takes, like the Avengers
Family is… well, complicated. You love your family, after all. And your love isn’t conditioned to what they do or how they behave. You just love them. Even when they’re being stupid, even when they’re deliberately obtuse. Even when they…
‘Pearson’ 1×05 Review: The Bobby Problem
Pearson has a Bobby problem, and though “The Former City Attorney” tries valiantly to face that problem head on, at the end of the day, we are left in the same place we were when we started watching the show…
‘Suits’ 9×05 Review: Welcome back, Mike Ross
We’ve really, really missed you. Of course, the entirety of the firm whose name I can’t even remember at this point could somehow be considered part of the proverbial we, though it’s obvious that the one person who’s missed you…
‘Pearson’ 1×04 Review: Building on Something Good
For three episodes, we’ve sorta dangled on the edge of a precipice, ready to fall in love with Pearson completely and irrevocably. “The Deputy Mayor” does nothing to push us off the cliff, but it doesn’t exactly drag us back,…
‘Suits’ 9×04 Review: Basically, We’re Leaving
If you’d asked me last year what was going on, why Suits wasn’t taking the plunge with Darvey, I would have probably gone on a rant about male showrunners, but in the end, I would have probably landed on: they…
‘Pearson’ 1×03 Review: This Could be the Beginning
…of a beautiful show. During the first two episodes, Pearson did a lot right, especially in setting up Jessica Pearson, as, well… Jessica Pearson, someone we should continue to care about. It didn’t give us many more people to care…
‘Suits’ 9×03 Review: The Faye of All Problems
Look, I haven’t wanted to go deep with the Faye of it all, because honestly, is Faye the most important thing in this show right now? Not by a longshot. She might be the most disruptive force, and she’s certainly…
‘Pearson’ 1×02 Review: Now We’re Talking
Now, that’s more like it. “The Superintendent” isn’t necessarily a brilliant hour of television – no more so than the first episode, at least – but it does a whole lot better than the pilot about making us care about…
‘Suits’ 9×02 Review: Team Darvey and The Rest
You can say that Suits has changed after, you know, all the banging Harvey and Donna have now done, which hey, they were making up for lost time. But the fact of the matter is, the show hasn’t really changed,…
