Hi Lou,
first of all, thanks for the suggestion of „The Good Wife“, which I had not heard about so far. Am right now watching the pilot episode on „Amazon Freevee“ and using the ad breaks to write this post ;-)
I watched „Suits“ some time ago and am not really sure how I see this as „rip off“ of „Suits“, as that was mainly about the guy with photographic memory who has dropped out of college but now gets hired as lawyer by a high-profile law firm pretending he has actually gone to Harvard. Much of the drama of „suits“ basically comes from him either miraculously using his incredible brain to win hard cases or nearly getting caught on his con, so quite different from a middle-aged (but very sharp) female lawyer coming back to a law firm after her DA husband has been jailed for corruption and sex affairs.
