So I started watching ‘Suits‘ and since then it has been like falling down a ravine to limitless depths. Yeah, that’s how it was with Bobby Donnell and now its Harvey Specter, luckily Meredith ruined the whole Dr. Derek Shepherd experience for me (I couldn’t figure out what he saw in her) and I didn’t …
