During the SAG and WGA strikes, several shows halted production, leaving viewers dependent on series that were already available to stream. In a twist of fate, Suits— a legal drama that aired on the USA Network from 2011 to 2019 — garnered a second wave of popularity andwas watched for a total of 57.7 billion minutes on Netflix in 2023. The original series centered on Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a college dropout who finds his way into working alongside top-notch corporate lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) at a New York firm, and offered the perfect balance between legal jargon and office intrigue. Although it was a long-form network drama, clocking in at around 16 episodes per season, its fast-paced storylines and magnetic characters kept viewers hooked.
