S1 is the exception. S3+ is his normal look from all his previous roles. Your perception is he grew rounder. But reality is he shrunk to very skinny before filming this. I remember a part he had in one of the CSIs in the 2000s, he was more round then, than S1 suits.
@@domferris9963They can waive the requirement like Jessica did for Rachel. Keeping the firm Harvard exclusive just gets them sent the best graduates from the school.
An associate fresh from university as a consultant - brilliant 😂 I’ve worked in professional services for nearly 20 years for these types of firms and that one made me smile. Thanks !
"sorry if you want to beat me you're going to have to do it as something else" - Balliest line ever told to an Harvard hotshot and top brain of a firm by a rookie..
" Mike, I can't hire you as an Associate, but I'm willing to take you in as a paralegal and help you get through law school. " " SOLD! " *Roll credits.*
Miss this show more and more everyday. Honestly have never felt so….attached to a show. Felt like you grew up with them. Over the course of ten years, so much has happen, and this show just means so much.
Paralegals for companies like Pearson Hardman still need a bachelor’s degree. Paralegals like Rachel has a bachelor’s degree. Mike was dropped from college due to his cheat sheet for the dean’s daughter.
True I'm sure if Harvey had Jessica meet Mike she'd have agreed to hire him as a paralegal too and after he proved his skills at the firm with all of Harvey and Jessica's connections you'd think getting him into a law school wouldn't have been a problem.
Yeah, thats pretty much my biggest strife with the show. It added so much unnecessary drama that I think really hindered the show. The best parts are when Mike and Harvey work on a case, not when the nth person finds out their secret so they have to scurry again
The series missed such a huge oppertunity by not having Rick Sorkin in the show. It would have have been hilarious to see him show up as an advesary at some point
I always thought that there could be no dorks graduating from Harvard. I mean, at this level of competition every graduate must have some personality. Because grades is not all it takes to even get in, not to mention graduate from Harvard
@sameerkashyap1750 In my first job, I sat at the front desk for the organization. Once trust was built with my bosses, they always asked me what I thought about interviewees. Lots of leaders do this. Secretaries and receptionists are seen as the bottom of the totem pole by many. A great litmus test is how the interviewee treats them.
It's also when Suits was at it's best. We all knew from day one that they would get caught out because 'murica has the Hays code. Something to the effect that a criminal can't be seen to get away with it indefinitely.
That's why the show was called Suits. Because Louis needed to buy many suits to accommodate his growth as a character. Don't think it's about lawsuits because that's just lazy.
Hands down the best scene ever...brings tears to your eyes ....thinking someone who got knocked into a different life ...Gets a Chance again to RISE UP!
@@dmitrygrv5661Mike could definitely get in if he had the backing of such a big name firm that exclusively hires from Harvard. They’d also check his old transcript and see he’s a genius.
When Jessica said this to Harvey that you went to Harvard law & he replies I'm an exception then she adds find me another one that's when he knew what he needed to do to get an associate & that's why he hired Mike.
I love this fictional scene because it exemplifies how synchronicity often plays a role in redirecting our paths in life in a completely new direction. One we didn't plan for, didn't anticipate..
It’s really not. They skipped all of the establishing scenes that show a) Mike is a freak genius and b) he aspires to be a lawyer. All we get is that he can get a 180 on the lsat and that he read a novel in elementary school (isn’t that required?)
I love it when Harvey and Ross switch roles “I’ll become the best lawyer you’ve ever seen” from the first episode first season to 9th season last episode
I feel like if he delivered the " Because I have an appointment " line in a different way he'd get the OK. I thought it was funny in an unintentional way.
Seeing the scene again make me pretty sure that the show diverted away from being a mike Ross and specter show… we had to see more about the genius mike
If you listen to the sounds the keyboard makes, Mike probably was looking something up and just selected the solitaire tab right before turning the screen
Watching his show changed my life and work ethics. Donna is the real Star, everyone needs a Danna in their lives, being it a coworker , a friend or a soulmate .
If only Harvey just accepted him as a paralegal then get him into Harvard once he got his degree (and no I don’t mean bribe or threaten I mean give him a chance to get in fairly)
I just love every actor and actress on Suits. I love this show. I could watch it over and over again. There’s something exciting in every episode. Oh! I love the love story of Meghan and Mike Ross. 👈❤️❤️❤️💙
Realistically, they could have sat him down in front of some people at Harvard and begged for a second chance on his behalf and gotten him into Harvard law with how remarkable he is portrayed to be.
When your “product” spills out onto the floor, you better make it a entertaining story or else the interviewer will be telling everyone at the water cooler about his encounter with a drug dealer! Of course they won’t call the cops because of it happening at a “Harvard” Law Firm recruitment interview.
@@Once_in_a_Lifetime That when you hire the lawyer in the room with you to prevent him from having those kind of talks happening around the water cooler. I am sure Harvey is professional enough not to make those type of talks around the water cooler.
Realistically all it takes is hiring him as a consultant and paying for law school in exchange he interns at the firm and eventually becomes a legal lawyer
@@DanielCruz-xq6eo I think it was stated that Mike was blacklisted from Harvard and other law schools because he sold the test to the dean's daughter. Which was all really Trevor's fault. If you think about it, Trevor was a really awful friend after everything Mike did for him. That was one thing I wish the show did better. Mike obviously cared about Trevor, so I wish the show gave Trevor a redemption story so they could have made up.
@@janhavi1977 I say being blacklisted from every law school was unfair to Mike cause it prevented him from going the legal route to attain his degree in law. I say when you cross the wrong person in life it can make life extremely hard to the point impossible to reach you goal in life if you have so much potential but, waste it doing jobs you know you are way over qualified for to the point the job just get boring but you have to do it cause you need money to survive.
It was the gloves. I don't know how I never spotted that, but it was the gloves. The hotel employee at the entrance, pushing the cart, was wearing gloves. It's therefore reasonable to assume that all employees are required to wear gloves, this being a high-end hotel. Which makes it deeply suspicious when one of the employees of this high-end hotel - which is reasonable to assume is very strict with the employees to assure high quality service for all customers - doesn't wear gloves. Everything else escalates from there. Mike suspects he's not a real employee, so he asks an innocent question. Any employee would have known the pool facilities are closed, so the answer gives him certainty this isn't an employee. So he asks for the time, knowing the movement would reveal any gun hidden in an obvious spot.
Wow seeing Litt in the first episode compared to season 8 is like the sopranos with Tony from season 1 to season 6..people gotta take better care of themselves
bro, seeing how much louis phisically changed from s1 till the end is incredible, even his face was completly different
Because he muds
S1 is the exception.
S3+ is his normal look from all his previous roles.
Your perception is he grew rounder.
But reality is he shrunk to very skinny before filming this.
I remember a part he had in one of the CSIs in the 2000s, he was more round then, than S1 suits.
@@savegas2008your perception is to re-explain the fact the OP is correct in a different way. He was skinny and got fatter. Like the OP said.
@@savegas2008he was in the movie conspiracy theory and was wayy skinnier than in S1
It actually benefitted the character. I don’t think his quirkiness would have landed as well if he had been skinny
Rick Sorkin is the real hero.
😂😂😂
Would have been great if he'd reappeared in a later episode
@@allyourpiesarebelongtousthat would have been hilarious 😂
True I do wonder though what did happen to that guy?
I like to think the choice of Sorkin as a name is a nod to Aaron Sorkin, the writing style of the show is quite sorkian in nature
"because i have an appointment " that's pretty clever with deadpan delivery
Years later and this is still one of the best pilots ever
I stick it up there with White Collar and Leverage.
Supremely agreed!
I agree but to me THE best pilot ever was The Newsroom.
great pilot. and twin peaks? ;)
SUITS LA needs to have a 1month meeting about their pilot
They could have hired Mike as a consultant from the get go where everything had been legal, but then half of the episodes would never need to exist.
They could’ve paid for him to go to law school literally anywhere
They only hire Harvard
@@domferris9963They can waive the requirement like Jessica did for Rachel. Keeping the firm Harvard exclusive just gets them sent the best graduates from the school.

Harvey didn't want to hire Mike at all. He was sending him off while he saw the douches sitting out that changed his mind
"sorry if you want to beat me you're going to have to do it as something else" - Balliest line ever told to an Harvard hotshot and top brain of a firm by a rookie..
The fact that Harvey and Mike went to the same place at the end, really shows that we deserve a show of them two
And I would die to see a show of just them two. But how are they going to explain Rachel.
Well you will soon. Google it. New season of suits is coming soon
@@johncorreia8816no its not coming a new season or a new spinoff
@@mesq26she got cancer thats a way to write her out without disrespecting her character.
We have a show of them two, it's called Suits

This pilot never gets old ! Legendary !😊
The first and last episodes of this show are genuinely some of the best television ever produced
8:37 it was at this moment, in his mind he already hired Mike
Indeed
" Mike, I can't hire you as an Associate, but I'm willing to take you in as a paralegal and help you get through law school. "
" SOLD! "

You can say that again
Same here I've seen it easily 8-10 times I swear.
I was watching this show while I was finishing undergrad and now I’m in law school lol
I can watch this scene a million times over and still not get bored.
“Fire up this laptop.”
Loses argument.
“Well you’re sitting at a laptop.”
Brilliant lawyering technique.
He could have hired him as a Paralegal and he could have been a lawyer later by proving his caliber

Well also in New York you don't have to go to law school at all you just have to pass the bar.
He needed the signing bonus.
The series missed such a huge oppertunity by not having Rick Sorkin in the show. It would have have been hilarious to see him show up as an advesary at some point
Rick missed his interview. Mike didn't get the job pretending to be Rick or stealing his identity when practicing law, wouldn't have made sense.
@@Poshfan2878 he's talking about later in the show
Imagine being a Harvard Graduate and getting rejected because the Partner's Secretary didn't like your vibe

No but "because I have an appointment" is an epic answer
Yes it does happen. Sometime you need people who you can vibes with in the work place and it does goes a long way

Nice!
I thought that the Hays code was already eliminated @@darrenparker5952
Harvey Fell in love at first sight
“I got knocked into another life and I’ve been wishing my way out ever since.” Powerful message.
"For a way back"
Seeing Louis in the first season compare to him all the way to last season is just huge 😮
you mean how much he gained fat compared to this scene? xD
@@utawamaruhence his use of the word “huge”
Skinny as a pencil to him looking like "The Beast" from The Chase

Multiverse: “I found a legal phenom and I want to pay for him to go to school using my unlimited connections.” That could be a non-fraud approach.
Yeah but that wouldn’t last 2 seasons let alone half as entertaining the fraud plot gives the show more suspense
@@AladeenMusic 100%. Love the show. Silly premise.

Free views, can't blame them.
Most likely
You're gonna watch it even if they post it 10x more, so why stop?
Hey if it ain't broke don't fix it 😂
It's reruns... have you not know anything about TV?
I loved the symmetry of this scene in the series finale, with Harvey interviewing for the job.
in normal life after 9:10 Harvey would offer mike a chance to go to lawschool throught them and then get a job afterwards
True but Harvey loves Danger, so he took the fun way
When Jessica said this to Harvey that you went to Harvard law & he replies I'm an exception then she adds find me another one that's when he knew what he needed to do to get an associate & that's why he hired Mike.
Harvey called the candidates "Harvard Duches." When Mike says the same thing to Harvey, that sealed the deal.
Probably one of the best opening episodes of a TV series of all time. Got me hooked
I love this fictional scene because it exemplifies how synchronicity often plays a role in redirecting our paths in life in a completely new direction. One we didn't plan for, didn't anticipate..

It was until Jessica left, and Donna became COO. It was trash at that point. After Mike and Rachel left, I lost all interest.
@@emmanueludoh77 fr
I liked the show a lot (mostly the first seasons). By saying that this is the best show ever...not in a million years
I love it when Harvey and Ross switch roles “I’ll become the best lawyer you’ve ever seen” from the first episode first season to 9th season last episode
"Move over. I'm emailing the firm, I've just found our next Associate" can't even imagine the relief he felt in this moment.
every time I watch this clip, makes me want to watch the entire series again.
I feel like if he delivered the " Because I have an appointment " line in a different way he'd get the OK. I thought it was funny in an unintentional way.
0:11 this is a great moment
Ya'll should just make the pilot episode free on youtube. Just the pilot, you don't need to do anything else.

I wish i wasnt late that day, now i comment here for a living
The ultimate meet-cute.
One of my favourite pilot episodes of all time
When the most impressive lawyer in the room is the actual criminal.
Or the other way round
these 10 minutes are goated
And this is how it all started ....
Thank you guys for the first episode post , haven't watched Harvey and litt scene
sorkin not being on time gave us all these suits seasons. He is the hero of this story
Legendary Pilot
I love the dynamic between harvey and mike.
Season 1 was when they both had the best hairstyles.
One of the best scenes in the entire series multiverse is when Harvey Meets Mike. It couldnt have been better
Simply the best scene in the series thx for posting again that was excellent
funny that louis is the one who got a child and wife first before harvey
Watching his show changed my life and work ethics. Donna is the real Star, everyone needs a Danna in their lives, being it a coworker , a friend or a soulmate .
Jessica was for real just Louis and Harvey's mother😂
never gets old

I'm literally the exact opposite of Mike Ross. Once I read something I forget it and never learn it.
For Harvey it was love at first sight.
If he's so smart, why would you tell strangers at a Harvard event that you're trying to ditch the cops?
He said that to Donna just to buy time and escape the cops, he had no intention of hanging around

This is the best pilot in all of fiction tbh
Ive watched the whole series like 5 times and still would do it again. 😂 2024 and i started it again, its a great show.
It would've been absolutely hilarious if Rick Sorkin showed up seasons later as the opposing counsel, hellbent on beating Mike
I just finished, this is by far the best show I have ever watched. Yes, the 1st and last show are the best ever, I agree.
How many times y’all gonna upload this? Why not post all of the behind the scenes, interviews and casting process
It’s crazy how louis in the pilot is so different from the other seasons
Time to rewatch suits again
The greatest Lawyer Show ever, got me through COVID watching all nine years. LOL Loved it! PS - And Donna is the bomb.
man an introduction to show couldnt have been any better
We should hire you.
the scene that made me watch the show
wondered how harveys assistant allowed to go mike in and even gave him the green light signal, how did that went thru lol
Actually their second time 😅 wonder why Mike doesn't remember since he has a photographic memory
Best plot in history
Has anyone noticed some part are added here that are not on the T.V. show ..lik Harvey telling Louis ," c'mon i was just messing around with you".
2024, this is still the best pilot ever made.
