Suits is one of the best and most popular legal dramas that managed to make the profession of lawyer cool again. Created by Aaron Korsh, the USA Network series follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who has a photographic memory and joins Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) at a prestigious law firm. The only problem with that is Mike didn’t actually go to law school and he doesn’t have a degree about which he has to lie to everyone. Suits ran for 9 brilliant seasons and ended its run in 2019. So, if you loved the witty banter, high stakes, and compelling characters in Suits here are some similar brilliant shows you should check out next.

Nick Offerman has been a bit of an Emmys bridesmaid so far, as the versatile actor has been nominated three times in his career but failed to turn any of them into cold, hard wins he can put on his shelf. This year, he earned his fourth nomination — and, surprisingly, his first one as an actor. He was nominated for Best Drama Guest Actor for HBO’s hugely successful video-game adaptation “The Last of Us.”

In the show, Offerman appears as Bill in episode three — “Long, Long Time.” Perhaps the most emotional episode of the entire series, Offerman is front and center of the drama and truly gets a chance to show off his acting chops. Bill lives a solitary life on his compound when the epidemic breaks out. But his uneasy quiet is disturbed when Murray Bartlett‘s Frank stumbles upon the land. Bill is reluctant to help the...

Murray Bartlett is having a very special moment. After winning his first Emmy last year, the actor has followed up that victory with not one but two nominations this year as he looks to continue his hot streak. One of those bids this year is for Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor for “Welcome to Chippendales,” while his second comes for HBO’s drama “The Last of Us,” which amassed a whopping 25 Emmy bids. Specifically, Bartlett was nominated for Best Drama Guest Actor for his emotional role as Frank in episode three of the show.

That episode, titled “Long, Long Time,” was touted as one of the very best in the entire series and was certainly the most heartbreaking. The episode flashes back to Frank leaving Baltimore as the epidemic spread. Soon after, he stumbles across a protected compound belonging to Nick Offerman‘s Bill, who, at first, is reluctant...

In the past four decades, David E. Kelley has written scripts for an astonishing 33 different performers to win Emmy Awards. Since a few of these actors and actresses have taken multiple trophies, the actual total number of victories is 41.

Will Elizabeth Olsen from “Love and Death” become the 34th Emmy champ in September? It could be the former “Avengers” star as Best Drama Actress or supporting players Lily Rabe, Patrick Fugit, Tom Pelphrey and/or Jesse Plemons.

SEELesli Linka Glatter interview: ‘Love and Death’ director and executive producer

Kelley is an 11-time Emmy winner himself for producing and writing. His television career began with “L.A. Law” and continued with “Picket Fences,” “Chicago Hope,” “The Practice,” “Ally McBeal,” “Boston Legal” and “Big Little Lies.” He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2014.

Here is a summary of the previous Kelley wins in actor and actress categories:

The Good Lawyer is moving forward at ABC.

The spinoff of The Good Doctor is set to air its backdoor pilot on Monday, March 6, at 10/9c.

Nancy Drew's Kennedy McMann has landed the lead role in the prospective series, starring alongside Desperate Housewives veteran Felicity Huffman.

The backdoor pilot finds Dr. Shaun Murphy looking for legal representation to help with his case.

He puts his faith in Joni DeGroot (McMann), a young woman with obsessive compulsive disorder.

Joni is described as “the brilliant, funny and self-aware lawyer who is relatively new to her prestigious law firm when she takes Shaun’s case."

“Living with Ocd, Joni has never wanted to be treated differently. While her symptoms take a toll on her personal and professional life, her attention to detail allows her to see cases through a different lens.”

Huffman plays Janet Stewart, who is described as "a highly regarded...

In 1998, Christian Clemenson made a guest appearance on a single episode of the ABC legal drama “The Practice” as a church worker who plays an integral part in solving the murder of a teenage boy. Seven years later, he was cast as a different character on the spinoff series “Boston Legal,” which quickly became a recurring role. In 2006, his performance brought him an Emmy award for Best Drama Guest Actor.

Clemenson’s Jerry Espenson first showed up in the middle of the second season and was soon established as a mild foil for lead character Alan Shore (James Spader). The 48-year-old’s win for this season initially made him the seventh youngest victor in the history of his category, and he currently holds the 10th spot on that list.

"I hope you had as much fun as I did. Bon appetit." HBO Max has unveiled the first teaser trailer for their upcoming Julia series, premiering at the end of this month streaming for everyone to watch. Following up the fantastic documentary last year, also titled just Julia (which is out to watch at home), this series tells the life story of American chef Julia Child. It is also inspired her long-running, beloved TV series, "The French Chef," which pioneered the modern cooking show. The show stars Sarah Lancashire as Julia Child, with David Hyde Pierce as Paul Cushing Child, Brittany Bradford, Bebe Neuwirth, Isabella Rossellini, Robert Joy, Erin Neufer, James Cromwell, Adriane Lenox, Fran Kranz, + Christian Clemenson as James Beard. It's quite fun to see the return of Julia Child between the doc and this show, she's back in the world keeping us all inspired to cook more and more.

In 1965, Don Knotts made history as the first actor to step away from an Emmy-winning sitcom role while the show was still running. After playing Barney Fife on the first five seasons of “The Andy Griffith Show” and collecting three supporting trophies, he moved on to a film career by signing a contract with Universal Studios. As the show continued for three more years, Knotts returned for five special appearances and ended up earning two additional Emmys. He was the first person to be nominated as a regular supporting player and guest star for the same role on the same series. In the 55 years since, he has been followed by two dozen others, including five more double winners.

Cloris Leachman emulated Knotts in 1975 when her fourth bid and second win for “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” came for what was deemed a single performance rather than a supporting one. She...

Stars: Elijah Wood, Luke Kirby, Robert Patrick, Aleksa Palladino, Christian Clemenson | Written by Kit Lesser | Directed by Amber Sealey

Written by Kit Lesser and directed by Amber Sealey (No Light and No Land Anywhere), No Man of God takes the horrifying true crime case of Ted Bundy and contorts the lens in order to look at Bundy’s relationship with FBI analyst and profiler Bill Hagenmaier during his final years as a death row inmate.

It’s an intriguing concept and one I was very excited to sit down and watch. Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) plays Hagenmaier and Bundy is played by Luke Kirby, whom I personally know from his run in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as Lenny Bruce. The majority of this movie is a character play between two men, a conversation, a back and forth. Seeing Kirby and Wood act their socks off is a joyous thing,...

Real evil will always be a tantalizing go-to for storytellers, and in the case of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, it’s meant at least nine at-bats across film and television for handsome, ambitious actors (from ‘80s-era heartthrob Mark Harmon to post-Disney Zac Efron) to twist looks, charisma and pathology into a portrait of chill, guy-next-door monstrosity.

Could Luke Kirby’s turn, as the death-row Bundy, be the best yet? Even if director Amber Sealey’s crisp, compelling indie docudrama “No Man of God” is the second Bundy film this year alone, not counting documentaries? Pardon the competitive shading to that question, but in the Hannibal Lecter era, screen madmen have mostly been muscle-flexing attempts at nerve-jangling one-upmanship, so it’s a comparison most films welcome.

And Bundy, convicted of murdering three women but certainly guilty of killing, raping and kidnapping countless more, has become a true-crime cottage industry, to...

Netflix’s “Mindhunter” is a fictionalized exploration of the FBI’s study of violent criminals during the 1970s and 1980s. It earned its sole Emmy nomination in 2018 for Cameron Britton‘s guest performance as Edmund Kemper, the real life murderer dubbed the Co-Ed Killer. It returned with another rogues gallery of sociopaths in season two, three of whom are on this year’s Emmy ballot for Best Drama Guest Actor. One of them is Damon Herriman, who has the benefit of having played the same killer twice last year.

Herriman shows up in episode five of “Mindhunter” as Charles Manson, whose cult was responsible for the horrific murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others in Tate’s Los Angeles home. He’s interviewed in prison by FBI investigators Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) years after he was jailed for his crimes. And it just so...

According to hundreds of Gold Derby users currently predicting the Creative Arts Emmys, Cameron Britton (“Mindhunter”) is the front-runner to win Best Drama Guest Actor for his role as real-life serial killer Ed Kemper. But on paper that might seem unlikely. “Mindhunter” got no other nominations, so can he really take down actors from Best Drama Series contenders like “This is Us” (Gerald McRaney and Ron Cephas Jones), “The Crown” (Matthew Goode) and “Westworld” (Jimmi Simpson)? To win under those circumstances is somewhat rare, but not unprecedented.

The Emmys introduced guest-acting categories in 1986, and since then eight people have won on their shows’ only nomination. It happened three times in Best Comedy Guest Actor: Cleavon Little, Tim Conway and Peter Scolari.

It happened three times in Best Drama Guest Actress: Viveca Landfors, Amanda Plummer and Cloris Leachman.

It never happened...

Cameron Britton gave a memorable performance in the Netflix drama series “Mindhunter” as real-life serial killer Ed Kemper. Now he’s an Emmy contender for Best Drama Guest Actor for his role. But will voters embrace him or be turned off by his sociopathic character? Oftentimes the television academy — and all awards voters for that matter — tend to reward roles that are sympathetic, but there’s good news for Britton: voters in this category pick killers more often than you might think.

In the last 20 years the academy has picked so many murderers for Best Drama Guest Actor that you’d think they were a parole board. In 1998 John Larroquette won the award for appearing on “The Practice” in the recurring role of Joey Heric, who manipulated the legal system to get away with cold-blooded murder. Then in 2001 Michael Emerson also won for “The Practice,” where he played William Hinks,...

The Emmys are unique among award shows in that nominees have to submit sample episodes to a panel of judges in order to win their prizes. And history has shown that the system works. Lesser known character actors like Zeljko Ivanek ("Damages"), Christian Clemenson ("Boston Legal") and Margo Martindale ("Justified") can thwart A-list rivals because voters actually have to watch their performances. -Break- If 'Game of Thrones' and Jon Hamm don't win Emmys, our forum posters Quit! But nominations are still determined by a popular vote, so just getting a foot in the door is often the hardest part for stellar performers. One of the heartbreaking aspects of watching the Emmys is those times when we witness the snub of an actor who we know could have won if only they had been nominated, because we know they had the episode to do it.

I've been humming and hawwing about how to approach the next couple of episodes for the third series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The issue that I sometimes encounter is that although some episodes aren't advertised as two or even three part stories, they still can be viewed as such. Bad Girls and Consequences are two such episodes that form a loose two-parter, and since they revolve around the same plot points and themes, I guessed it would make more sense to tackle these as one big review rather than two in which I repeat myself a lot.

Mind you, I've noticed that I've repeated myself in the past more times than I care to remember. How many times have I mentioned Dragon's Den or The Apprentice, for example?

Anyway, back to Buffyland. Bad Girls/Consequences marks the turning point of the third season with regards to the ongoing season arc.

You might be able to pull the wool over some people's eyes, but you can't fool your mama.

Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) proved that at the start of "Trust Me," Monday's (March 2) new episode of TNT's "Dallas." She hired her late husband J.R's right-hand man, Bum (Kevin Page), to conduct surveillance on her son John Ross (Josn Henderson) ... convinced he was cheating on new wife Rebecca (Julie Gonzalo) with Emma (Emma Bell).

Back at the Ryland family home, Emma was surprised to see her father Harris (Mitch Pilleggi) out of prison. He wasted no time accusing her of stealing his files and setting up his incarceration, then warned he would have to return her to "a secure, therapeutic setting" -- ostensibly to keep her safe, but really to prevent her from trying to assume his corporate power again.

Emma cautioned John Ross that meant an end to the deal...

Word has come today that Joe Johnston's Not Safe for Work is going to be headed straight to video come this April. Read on for details and of course the artwork, which incidentally is completely safe for work.

Look for it in stores on April 15th.

Watching Diane Kruger dive head-first into the awkward, by-the-books Texas detective she portrays on FX’s The Bridge on Wednesday night, I suspected I was witnessing the last of a kind. For reasons I’ll explain shortly, we have entered the post-Asperger’s era of television, and the intense Sonya Cross may well be the final character with that condition who'll get grandfathered into the new age. Because Asperger’s, a developmental disorder that falls on the autism spectum, came out on television quietly, it’s hard to say for certain when the condition made its prime-time debut. But I do know when I first took notice of a character with the disorder: in December 2005, when Boston Legal introduced us to Jerry Espenson, the quirky, socially awkward attorney played by Christian Clemenson. Many viewers noted that, as depictions of what it's like to live with Asperger's, Jerry and the brilliant...

Yesterday we told you that Joe Johnston's Not Safe for Work was going to be headed straight to video. The news came from an interview the La Times did with producer Jason Blum that made things sound kind of grim. Apparently that's not the case at all.

The original comment was as follows: "Some of my movies work, and some of them don't," Blum said. "I want to be able to say to the studio, 'We missed; let's go to VOD.'"

Bloody Disgusting got in touch with Blum, who clarified his remarks. He wasn’t addressing the quality of any film in particular, just whether one of his movies would work as a wide release. Moreover, in the above quote he was talking about his model and preference of options rather than directly addressing any specific movie or the quality of the film. And, for the record, he “thinks it's great.

It's been a long time since we heard anything regarding Joe Johnston's new flick for Universal, Not Safe for Work, but finally there's a little bit of news. It's not great news, but at least it's something. Read on for details.

In a recent interview with the L.A. Times regarding The Purge, producer Jason Blum mentioned that the film will in fact bypass theaters and instead debut on video-on-demand platforms at some unspecified date. "Some of my movies work, and some of them don't," Blum said. "I want to be able to say to the studio, 'We missed; let's go to VOD.'"

One of the best superhero flicks last summer was Joe Johnston's Captain America. And while Chris Evans's Steve Rogers is busy going big in Joss Whedon's Avengers, Johnston decided to take the opposite approach with his next project. The director's followup to the First Avenger will be a small actioner called Not Safe For Work and he just recruited one of his Howling Commandos, J.J. Feild, to join the film. Variety reports that Feild as well as Christian Clemenson and Tom Gallop were cast in Johnston's Not Safe For Work. And before anyone plays Mr./Mrs. Smart, I'm aware that Feild's character, James Montgomery Falsworth, is the original Union Jack and technically part of the Invaders but he was lumped into the Commandos for Johnston's adaptation of Captain America. And if you missed the comic book flick, you may have seen the actor with Michael Fassbender in...

Tripp threatens him with putting the medal he receives for catching him between his forehead, after being taunted by Toller for taking so long for them to find him. Toller is remembered for the gruesome way in which he cremated his Vics. Horatio finally notices the plane is off course and the pilot, Capt Winston (Bo Kane) tells him he had to do it. Horatio tells him they had priority to Miami. That's what you get for using a private plane and pilot, what happened to police pilots. An altercation ensues between the crewman (Austin Priester) on the plane and Tripp is hit in the head. Toller releases his cuffs from the seat and escapes. Horatio has to choose between shooting the crewman or Toller.
