'Suits' preview: USA's buddy dramedy genre enters the courtroom
With "White Collar" and "Covert Affairs" both back on the air, USA's summer season is officially underway -- so what better time to get the 411 on one of its more exiting freshman series? "Suits," a new legal dramedy from "Notes from the Underbelly" writer Aaron Korsh, premieres June 23. And like many USA series before it, it follows an expert navigating a profession they're not technically supposed to be a part of.
Patrick J. Adams stars as Mike Ross, a brilliant but unmotivated college dropout who comes to pose as a lawyer when high profile corporate lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) hires him out of desperation. In lieu of a law degree, Ross relies on his photographic memory and unparalleled instincts -- kind of like "Psych" with lawyers.
"Suits" also gets extra points for the play-on-words-tastic ad campaign, which includes the tagline "Two Lawyers. One Degree."

I might not be the smartest person, but doesn't the AD YOU ARE SHOWING say "Two lawyers. One degree"?
Think you mean 'exciting' not 'exiting' in the last sentence of first paragraph.
Will probably watch the show.
I thought TNT just premiered this show recently, only they called it Franklin and Bash.
