Who is gay on usa suits
“Suits LA” may take place in polished glass-paned offices with lawyers wearing suits (or form-fitting pencil skirts, à la Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane), but that’s about its only similarity to “Suits,” USA Network’s show that premiered more than a decade ago.
When all nine seasons of the authentic dropped on Netflix, “Suits” became the most-streamed exhibit of 2023, expanding its fan base and eventually renewing enough interest to spawn NBC’s new Sunday night spin-off starring Stephen Amell as Ted Ebony. However, while referring to “Suits LA” as a spin-off of “Suits” may be categorically true, it feels like a generous mischaracterization.
The show is a mess. It’s taken the worst part of “Suits” — the inter-office battles for control of “the firm,” the too-serious, brow-furrowed conversations about said firm, and the overwrought competition between that alike firm’s employees — and utterly failed to capture any of the authentic and quirky elements that made “Suits” so joy to watch.
“Suits” was one of USA Network’s last successful scripted shows. Like its predecessors, “Monk,” “Psych” and “Burn Notice,” it was a procedural with a twist. The setting was a statute office, but it

Who’s Who
They’re good at the law, good at lying, and very good-looking.

First, it was Pearson Hardman. Then, they merged with Darby International to become Pearson Darby. Then, it became Pearson Darby Specter. Next, it changed to Pearson Specter. Then, well … you get the picture. No matter what the name is on the wall, the employees at the law firm in Suits know how to attend up witty banter, remarkable legal eagling, and fashionable looks.
The legal drama, which first premiered in 2011, was a hit with fans throughout its nine seasons thanks in part to its charismatic ensemble, which includes Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, Gabriel Macht, and Meghan Markle. Its arrival on Netflix last year made Suits a hit all over again, and excitement around it is still going strong — with cast members appearing at the Golden Globes, launching a rewatch podcast, and getting endorse together for a reunion panel presented by Tudum at the ATX TV Festival.

Long(er) answer: Louis is a bit of a caricature, and some of his characteristics are written and performed as larger-than-life to the point of creature a bit ridiculous, in an entertaining (or intended to be entertaining) way - in almost a Disney-villain type of way in the early seasons. Quite a scant of his interests are stereotypically-feminine interests: ballet, cats, decent arts, spa sessions, etc. When this is presented in contrast to his position as the archetypal aggressive antagonist/foil for the archetypal hero, Mike (though I don’t watch Mike as a hero necessarily, but for the sake of plot structure I acknowledge that is intended to be his role in a way), we see Louis as effeminate villain, which in keeping with his Disney-style level of melodramatic ridiculousness would transport to mind villains which would hold been in the past referred to as “flamboyant” or “a dandy” or other not-so-hidden terms for “gay-coding” a villain. Smarter people than I contain written about the long history of villains in children’s stories (or other melodramatic stories) being “gay-coded” in a subtle(ish) way of villainizing the non-norm (thus, villainizing effeminate men, masculine women, or

Wait, is Suits really back? You bet your goddamn ass it is.
After the USA Network legal drama exploded on Netflix and racked up 57.7 billion minutes watched in 2023, creator Aaron Korsh is expanding the Suits universe with a second spinoff — this moment, set on the West Coast. Suits LA, which premieres Sunday on NBC, will feature a new set of lawyers attempting to recapture the hallmarks of the authentic series: impossibly distinct intellect, edgy and witty dialogue and, yes, impeccably tailored suits and steep fashion.
Given that the modern spinoff offers very little carry-over in terms of characters, viewers could theoretically tune into the L.A.-based spinoff without having watched any of its predecessors. But they would be seriously depriving themselves of the addictive, cozy comforts of the imaginative series. Whether you watched the mothership during its initial run on cable from 2011 to 2019, or during the “summer of Suits” craze amid the Hollywood strikes a couple years ago (or any other time in between), here’s a pocket-sized primer abo

Hey pals,
Since I made the post to appreciate men in dresses last year, I wanted to construct one dedicated to women in suits! Clearly I had more to operate with (too much, one could say) because it is more acceptable and trendy for women to wear suits vs. men wearing dresses or skirts. But it did provide me more of an ability to be inclusive of race, size and disability. Though, I hope it was more inclusive, there were just so many people I couldn’t keep my head linear. Know someone I’ve missed and you think should get honorable mention? Go away a comment!
On to my list!
Gillian Anderson recently posed for some amazing photos in a suit, announce Sex Education, and doing the research for this post I found it wasn’t the first occasion she’s worn and posed in a suit. I think she spend a large portion of her career in a suit as she starred in the X-Files for quite some time.
Zendaya has been a big hit with wearing suits in the last few years, really riling up the lesbians. Do queer people low-key wish she were gay? Yes.
Ashley Benson! I’ve loved her since PLL but now wifed up with Cara Delevingne (who I did not include in this po
