I watched the first 3-4 seasons before it wore thin. Now, like 5 years after its final season, I see it referenced places and the guys doing commercials. Can someone explain?
People on this thread don’t seem to understand the REAL reason for its resurgence.
Meghan Markle. Y’know, Duchess… Harry’s wife? Not saying Suits was a bad show (only ever saw an episode or two because a friend used to love it 10+ years ago) but its recent popularity is all about her.
It first showed up on Netflix in mid-2023, in the middle of the writer’s guild strike (meaning there was a dearth of new content). So basically the Netflix effect. It had been on other streaming platforms before - Prime Video and Hulu - but Netflix is still a juggernaut compared to them - it has 5 times as many subscribers as Hulu, for example, and many of the subscribers to Prime Video are incidental and don’t stream as much on average as Netflix users.
I assume Netflix funded off-platform advertising, but the on-platform advertising has a big effect, too. And given that Suits broke a record in the first week it was on Netflix and they have a spinoff coming, it makes sense that they would keep advertising.
When it made it to Netflix, it had a resurgence. It probably reached a wider audience, and it's honestly a good binge show. I think it's fun, albeit super unrealistic.
Netflix was suggesting it to me on the regular for a while a few months back. I watched a season or three but it got very convoluted and I lost interest in trying to keep up with what was going on.
