Over there during my “holiday” in US and Canada did I come a cross a lot of new things and some I embarrassed straight away and others I just let passed.
Didn’t watch a lot of TV – but more or less by accident what I came across was “SUITS” – and I loved it. A series that we haven’t still picked up in Sweden yet, wonder why because we pick up so many other programs – that isn’t worth looking at (crap). Too expensive ???!!!!
So now with me back with Swedish television – and want to see more – so I did what every resourceful woman does – asked goggle for help and with one foot outside the law now – I will be able to watch this great series.
Why I like it so much – have always had a weak spot for everything with lawyers – since “L.A. Law” – the first series I ever watch and followed in this genre. “The Guardian” with Simon Baker is probably my favourite series – a fantastic show. Plus that Simon Baker is one of the sexiest men I laid my eyes on – even if he is too short for my liking.
“Damage” is the only show I have bought on DVD – can’t wait for series 5 to start and it’s the final series too. Glenn Close is outstanding in this. If I ever need a lawyer I want her, Patty Hewes – but I know I wouldn’t be interesting enough for her and I wouldn’t be able to pay for her service neither.
Have never been a fan of court room series or movies – like “Perry Mason” and what ever came after him from US and UK – I think I have rude and ruthless streak in me … that I can play on when I watch those mean lawyers on the TV and the big screen. They are also so cool and collective, my opposite – could be an other reason. 
Also a big fan of John Grisham’s books – think I read 80% of them. They give me a world that is so fascinating and so fare away from my own; quite and problem free.
Then there is the movies: The Lincoln Lawyer, Fracture, Primal Fear, A Time to Kill, The Firm, Presumed Innocent, 12 Angry Men, The Verdict, A Civil Action, The Accused, Erin Brockovich, Conviction and Presumed Innocent are the ones I can remember and of all great movies within this subject – “Primal Fear” with Richard Gere and Edward Norton is my all time favourite.
“Suites” appeal to me because it has humor and it’s current – Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) – two hot shots, one with a heart and one trying not to have one – plus Louis (Rick Hoffman) – that wants to be like both Harvey and Mike. Think that US Network has got this exactly right in all areas.
I have always had a soft spot for men with authority and with certain element of power, but I have never met one (not totally true – I have met Gordon Ramsey) – so maybe that’s why I love to watch and read anything that has to do with lawyers. Plus they are always so well dressed.
So with one foot outside the law I will continue to watch the show. Please, don’t tell anyone!
“Cancao Do Mar” with Dulce Pontes, a Portuguese singer and songwriter with a fantastic voice – my cloud of sound – is from “Primal Fear” sound track.

i watch a few of the movies you watch. i am back in my past with television. i watch old reruns and nick at nite in the evenings and weekends, when the tv is on………i love lucy, golden girls, love movies on hallmark
Golden Girls are a brilliant series – will never go out of fashion. Don’t watch a lot of TV anymore … but I love my SCI’s (can’t believe they have taken CSI Miami of air), Wallander and my lawyers.
The Lincoln Lawyer is supposed to be fantastic if I remember correctly 😀
And a show named Suits? Sounds intriguing 🙂
Cheers

Yes, “Lincoln Lawyer” is a great movie – Matthew McConaughey are always great as lawyer -as in “Killing Time” – a fantastic movie. – you should see both movies.
“Suits” is really great entertainment. Lighthearted and cool.
I will definitely need go check these out! I love Harrys Law starring Kathy Bates, awesome show, second season
And I have to check … Harry’s Law out. Thanks.
Oh yes, it’s great! Loved it! You can find most of the episodes on Free Project TV or maybe even on their television network. It’s an awesome show!
Do you know they have a online game too – http://www.usanetwork.com/series/suits/theshow/overview.html#games – thanks for the tip where to watch, but I are now up to date will all episodes .. it’s a brilliant show – love it.
Naughty!
Yes, I know …
A friend gave me a copy of the Suits series but I haven’t watched it yet. Seems pretty awesome according to her, and you seem to highly recommend it 🙂 will watch it soon! 🙂
You will like it, I’m sure … especially Harvey – he are the man, don’t want to have emotions or a heart, but he are filled to the rim of it.
haha okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Currently I’m in to Sherlock Holmes and game of thrones series 🙂
Sherlock Holmes … I love the latest movies .. but not TV series.
I love law series as well, but they have to be good drama.
I would love to be called for jury duty.
Yes, they are …. but I don’t want to sit in a jury. Have a great weekend .. all of you.
Well.. you’ve certainly given me lots to look forward to on the television! I had all but given up on any tv because of lack of content. Right now we’re hooked on the Olympics, but I’ll be looking for a few of these series you recommend:D xx
Haven’t looked at the Olympics at all … not even the opening event that was supposed to be stunning. Some of the shows I wrote about is very old – but if you can rent – the guardian – do it .. one of the best and of course – the suits … showing just now.
We like a lot of the same types of TV/books. On your recommendation I started watching “Damages” last night (see? i am reading your blog even if not commenting all the time). Riveting stuff. My stomach is all in a knot…and I think this is more from Close’s compelling portrayal of a very demented/brilliant/bi-polar/narcissistic lawyer. Wow.
Thanks, Bliss … you should try rent the other series – I think you’re on the 5th over there now. Fantastic show.
She are brilliant in the part .. and she has a heart, even a very small one. Thanks for … your support and it doesn’t matter if you don’t comment on every post.
Done 2 posts about my visit to Vancouver now .. coming up this week. So please .. come back. *smile
always do.
