Episode 49: Billion Dollar Suit Back to the Pilot

The law is an interesting thing. For those who follow it, they rarely think about anything more than the surface level legality of their everyday lives. But for those who don’t - or walk the thin line separating the two - it’s almost as if they have to be experts in the matter just to know how far they can go and exactly how to get away scot-free. So what better way to entertain than to combine the two into a single show? Or in this case - two shows - Billions and Suits.

Suits (4:06) - Practicing law take a lot of hard work and dedication. On top of the 8 years of education, you also have to pass one of the most difficult professional exams out there, the Bar examination. But what if you never graduated law school and passed the Bar anyway? Legally, you aren’t allowed to sit for it, but does that make you any less qualified? Luckily we can explore exactly that scenario when Mike Ross convinces Harvey Spectre to sign him on as an associate thanks to his quick wit and perfect memory.

Billions (35:56) - In law, we often think of things in extremes - right and wrong; good and bad; justice and evil - but in reality, the law tends to be much greyer than that. And sometimes it seems that just because someone has broken the law, doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve done something bad or vice versa. But in Billions, it’s a little bit different. Just because someone seems as though all they do is good, doesn’t really mean that they’re a good person. But surely the US Attorney is always going to do the right thing. And a man who donates large sums of money to charity could never be bad….right?
