Time and time again Suits grasps their audiences attention with absolute superb acting from the entire cast coupled with an intricate and multifaceted plot that makes this show infinitely intriguing. In "All In," the main storyline revolves around the characters' involvement in a high-stakes poker game. Harvey Specter, the brilliant lawyer, enters the game to represent a client who has a considerable debt to pay off. Meanwhile, Mike Ross, Harvey's associate, participates in the game to prove his skills and impress Harvey. As the game progresses, both characters face challenges and risks that affect their personal and professional lives. What I find particularly interesting in this episode is its pacing and structure: the episode maintains a brisk pace, reflecting the intensity of the poker game and the pressure the characters face. It transitions between the poker table and other storylines seamlessly, creating a dynamic and engaging narrative structure. One of the most entertaining episodes in the Suits realm to date. Fantastic.

This all starts with an intriguing premise. A friend of Harvey's, a high roller with an alcohol and gambling addiction, throws his business away in an all-in poker bet. Now he regrets it but it is going to be hard for the firm to try to save his bacon. The neat thing about this episode is the methods used for finding a way into convincing a judge. Of course, what is going on in the background is a bigger personal thing, where Hardman is willing to settle a lawsuit and get Harvey disbarred. We also have Louis meeting Rachel at the ballet and sitting with her. This leads to a discovery of problems with the backstage/rehearsal space. But it leads to something much bigger. There is great byplay with Louis and the ding dong associate who has become his whipping boy.
