Netflix viewers are just discovering 'best show ever' as they can't stop binge watching Suits

Suits might have come to an end four years ago, but many Netflix users are just discovering the series and it's safe to say, it's got them hooked.

Starring Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty and Rick Hoffman, Suits was first released in 2011 and follows college dropout Mike Ross. Ross finds himself working with one of New York City's best lawyers as he attempts to run from a drug deal gone wrong.

After nine seasons and 134 episodes, the show finally came to an end in 2019, but it remains available almost in its entirety on Netflix US, where the first eight seasons are available to watch, and in full on Netflix UK and Ireland.

Though most people have already heard of Suits - in part because one of its stars married a prince in 2018 - not everyone has taken the time to watch it.

Now, though, that's all changing.

Social media users have taken to Twitter in recent weeks to admit they've only just hit play on the series, but that they definitely should have started it sooner.

"What series is everyone watching right now?...I just started Season 2 of Suits and I'm loving it. I know I'm way behind and there's 9 seasons, but that legitimately makes me so happy to have that much show to binge lol," one person wrote.

Another fan commented: "i should’ve started suits sooner cuz it’s all i’ve been watching all day," while a third added: "Suits is one of the best shows ever."

The series has a strong IMDb score of 8.4/10, and you don't have to worry about wading through nine seasons for a disappointing ending either, as the last episode has secured a solid 9.4/10 on the site.

When the show came to an end in 2019, creator Aaron Korsh said it was 'bittersweet for everyone'.

"It’s the end of an era both for the show and within the show," he said.

USA Network

Though most of the main characters remain in the show for all of its nine seasons, Markle decided to leave Suits after its seventh season, which aired in 2018, after she got engaged to Prince Harry.

At the time, USA Network confirmed the actor's departure in a statement, saying: "From all of us at USA Network and Universal Cable Productions, we want to send our most heartfelt congratulations to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on their engagement.

"Meghan has been a member of our family for seven years and it has been a joy to work with her. We want to thank her for her undeniable passion and dedication to Suits, and we wish her the very best."

The very public engagement meant that Markle's departure from the show likely won't come as a shock to new fans, but with more than 100 episodes to get through, there'll certainly be a lot of other surprises in store.
