Suits vs NCIS
Feb. 23rd, 2012 01:59 pmI may be committing sacrilege here, but I think I may actually like Harvey Specter more than Gibbs. I know. Crazy, right?
Watching Suits has reminded me of many of the reasons why NCIS has lost its shine in many ways for me.
I had a whole long ramble about this, but my brain for writing coherently has seemingly abandoned me. I think the crux of it is, Suits has all these moments where we see Harvey acknowledge in fairly tangible ways that he really admires Mike and wants him there (even when he's being a bit of a douche). We also see moments where Mike stands up to Harvey and stands up for Harvey.
Unfortunately in NCIS, those moments became unicorn moments for so many seasons they were so few and far between. One of the things I could never understand is why the Tony in early Season 4 would ever stay at NCIS. His co-workers didn't respect him and he didn't seem to respect himself either. With Mike, I can see why he's so loyal to Harvey. Harvey has earned it in so many ways.
I don't know that I'm sad that I've moved on from NCIS, but it does help me figure out why Suits clicks so well for me.
