"Suits" is a TV series available on Amazon Prime. The first season aired in 2011 and seven seasons are available. An eighth season has been announced though with some cast changes. The series involves a fictitious New York law firm that hires only Harvard Law School graduates. Each episode concerns a new case (particularly in the first season), though some plots carry over from episode to episode. The series is well done and well acted. One of the noteworthy aspects is that one of the stars is Meghan Markle (blue dress in the picture), who will become a member of the British Royal Family upon her marriage to Prince Harry in May 2018. The cases are interesting and well acted. Much of the drama concerns the relationship between the very skilled senior partner (played by Gabriel Macht) and his junior associate (played by Patrick Adams). If you like to see lawyers maneuvering and outsmarting each other, you may enjoy the show. I enjoyed some of the legal battles and some office romance aspects. A lot of the infighting and backstabbing I enjoyed less. But overall the series holds my interest. You can read about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suits_(U.S._TV_series)

Effectively they can live forever unless their stack is destroyed with no backup, referred to as "real death". Given their enormous wealth and longevity these people have great power, and even the police follow t
