See, it didn’t stand up for me. I tried watching it again last year, and didn’t get 5 episodes into it. I have no clue what happened :(

Gina Torres plays the named partner at the law firm in USA’s new show Suits that starts next week. I enjoyed her in this new series.

I believe Morena Baccarin was just cast in Showtime’s Homeland alongside Damian Lewis (oh how I miss Life) and Claire Danes.
