Suits parents guide: Is the show on Netflix appropriate for kids?

Suits is rated TV-MA, which means it is for “Mature Audience Only.” The rating indicates the series is unsuitable for those under 17 years old. This can be due to several reasons, including graphic violence, explicit sexual activity, or crude language.

For Suits, the show’s age rating is for those 17 and older because of some of the language used. And as all the main characters and their stories are adults, there are bound to be more mature themes. That’s not to say you can’t watch the show with your younger teens. Just be sure to have an adult tuning in with them.

The series stars Patrick J. Adams as Michael “Mike” Ross, Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter, Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane, Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt, Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen, and Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson.

Eight seasons of Suits will begin streaming Saturday, June 17, 2023, on Netflix.
