After 24, no other series got me enthralled. Jack Bauer was a fix to my boring life after NYSC, staying in Port Harcourt meant there were fewer friends than the few I normally would have. Eventually I moved back to the Southwest but I had been bitten by the Jack Bauer bug and didn’t want to be cured. It took James Heller been blown off before I got cured; I couldn’t have it anymore. 24 was over for me. Well, the spoliers said he wasn’t blown off and it was just a ruse, but I was done, I wouldn’t let Jack Bauer’s deeds blow off my tiny heart.
I almost swore I was done with series movie; they take your time and get under your skin. Then someone left ‘Suits’ on my laptop. An idle day came and I played it, it took few scenes and I liked Mike Ross, then Harvey Specter. How can one have a magnetic brain and the other be that cocky?….and Jessica, one pretty power woman.
But that creative work is already giving me funny ideas, forming opinions and some not realistic desires. Or do you think a Pearson-Hardman exists somewhere in Nigeria? I do not think so and these are my reasons:
- A competent all cylinders-firing boss like Harvey would not hire you if he knows you don’t have a degree. How can you not go to Law School and want to practice law? Not Nigeria, your boss needs you to have a distinction before you are employed. Forget how magnetic your brain is, if the brain was that good, why didn’t it take you through law school?
- And Donna, not one secretary would tell her super-man boss she’s listening in to every conservation in his office and tell him when he is shitty. No, you can’t tell your boss to buy you designer bags or use his loyalty cards because you are ‘the-best-legal-secretary-in-town’ only if you are his mistress.
- Jessica- You don’t single out a cocky, coiffed hair ambitious guy on your pay-roll as your confidant. You are not sure if he wants your seat, plus making your subordinates your ally means you won’t get all the ‘yes ma’ that you deserve. You don’t throw that away here. And did that ally just walk out on you? Chai! Not in Nigeria!!
- Louis Litt- If anyone would get Litt up, it’s you Louis. Your hold on the associates only means one thing here; ‘gra-gra’. You know what a pool of associates would do to you here if you do ‘gra-gra’ for them? You name will be submitted at different prayer mountains and consulting prophets, candles would be burnt on your pictures and you may end up losing the job or with partial stroke. The guys here are not weak like you have at Pearson-Hardman.
- And world-best-closer Harvey Specter; the guy leaves me speechless. The guy who loves but is afraid to show it, the guy who doesn’t want to lose at all, the guy who lives on his ego? I don’t like proud people but I LOVE Harvey Specter.
Truth is, I am looking for a firm like Pearson-Hardman or is it now Pearson-Specter? I would give arm and leg to work in there. I need to go get the next season of Suits, I don’t want to be cured yet.
