The sharp legal drama that ran for nine seasons and gave Meghan Markle a name long before she added the Duchess prefix, “Suits” is coming to the free streaming platform BBC iPlayer. Here we explain all your options to watch “Suits” online and from anywhere with a VPN.
If you come to all 134 episodes of “Suits” for the first time, you will soon meet the idealistic and intelligent lawyer Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams). Blessed with a photographic memory, along with an excellent combination of intellect, charisma and enthusiasm, he and his partner Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) soon had a good streak of closing ‘suits’ (i.e. lawsuits) for their firm.
But this is not a purely judicial drama series. It’s more of a stylish soap opera, with the private and professional lives of Ross, Spectre, ambitious junior Rachel Zane (Markle), cunning partner Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), ruthless lawyer Samantha Wheeler (Katherine Heigl) and more all explored.

Is ‘Suits’ worth watching?
Although ratings declined as the show progressed, “Suits” is still a very fun show.
Jugo Mobile streaming editor Kelly Woo described it as “the perfect summer binge” when writing about its arrival on Netflix in June 2023.
She said: “At its core, ‘Suits’ isn’t much different from the legal dramas that have been a staple of television since the beginning. It mixes ‘cases of the week’ with longer arcs about machinations between lawyers.
“But not all legal dramas are created equal. The ones that stand out feature well-written, three-dimensional characters played by top-notch actors. “Suits” falls into this category, thanks to lead cast members Adams, Macht, Markle, Torres, Rafferty and Hoffman.
“Suits” goes down like a fine wine: smooth, luxurious, charming. It strikes the right balance between serious and frivolous. And I think you’ll find that any curiosity about a particular member of the British royal family will be overshadowed by the pleasures. simple of a well-made television program.”
