tv shows // suits Posted by Helena

I'm surprised it's taken me this long to blog about my new Favourite TV Show Of All Time. Suits! My housemates are thinking about staging an intervention because I often have something Suits related on my computer screen. That being said, they've watched the whole season and loved it too! Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht... mmmm...
Anyway, it's about a hot shot, intelligent, charismatic, cocky lawyer (Macht) who hires an associate (Adams), who doesn't actually have a law degree, but is supremely intelligent himself. Harvey Specter and Mike Ross. Babes! They have a bit of a Dr Cox/JD relationship. My housemates and I have decided that Harvey is like a modern day Don Draper. Donna (Harvey's secretary) is my other favourite character and she's so hilarious and sassy.
So if you haven't seen it yet, definitely give it a looksie! I love a television show with intelligent characters since the shows I've enjoyed recently include Sherlock and Bones.
And now here's some pretty pictures. The following are all from suitscaps.

Not an official photo, but I found it on Tumblr.

I do so love Meryl Streep. Here she is accepting her Golden Bear at the Berlin Honour Awards, complete with a lovely intro by Jake Gyllenhaal who's childhood friends with her son.

This is just a post to declare my adoration in images for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Is it weird that I want them to get married and have cute little talented babies?

Oh, and there were costumes that all my favourite English actors had worn: Johnny Depp, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Orlando Bloom, Judi Dench, Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson... you name it! There's going to be a lot of photos here! So many in fact, that I've decided to do two posts. There's just too many photos to include!
