The Most-Watched Legal Dramas

Harvey and Mike still have a few more cases left! USA Network

USA’s Suits might be coming to an end, but Suits will never really be over, as long as the episodes will live on forever with streaming. Also, Suits has just launched its brand new spin-off, focused on fan-favorite Jessica Pearson, which is appropriately titled, Pearson.

Pearson follows Jessica (with Gina Torres still playing the role) as she enters the dirty world of Chicago politics and we have a feeling she’ll be able to take it head-on, considering what a powerhouse she’s been for the last seven seasons on Suits. But Torres’ Jessica isn’t the only lawyer we love in and out of the courtroom. We’ve got a list of TV Time’s most-watched legal dramas ...

14. For the People

Follow along with a group of brand new prosecutors and federal public defenders as they try to juggle their lives and their jobs in the Southern District of New York.

13. The Good Fight

Christine Baranski and Co. take on the hard cases in Chicago, picking up after the events of its predecessor The Good Wife.

12. Boston Legal

William Shatner, James Spader, and Candice Bergen together trying to serve justice at the law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt? We would have watched this show go on forever, and in the years since it’s ended, it’s very much become a comfort go-to legal show.

11. Damages

Glenn Close has never been more powerful, and also sometimes downright frightening, as non-nonsense attorney Patty Hewes.

The Law & Order spin-off about the Major Case Squad lasted for 10 seasons and included stars like Jeff Goldblum, Chris Noth, Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe.

9. Bull

While Dr. Jason Bull isn’t a lawyer himself, he heads up a jury consulting firm that constantly puts him in the courtroom.

8. Law & Order

Dun dun. Law & Order has managed to cement itself in every aspect of popular culture, with 456 episodes, 6 spin-offs, and those two iconic opening chords: dun dun.

7. Ally McBeal

Ally McBeal not only changed courtroom dramas forever, but she also changed female characters on television forever breaking so many barriers during its five season run.

6. Blue Bloods

Go inside the lives of the Regan Family, with Tom Selleck playing New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.

5. Better Call Saul

Who was Saul Goodman before we ever met Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad? Take a deep dive into our favorite Albuquerque lawyer’s shady beginnings.

Over seven seasons The Good Wife became so much more than just a legal drama, but at its core, it was always about the justice system.

3. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Special Victims Unit is the longest-running live-action series in the history of television with Season 21 kicking off this fall.

2. How to Get Away with Murder

The name of the show says it all, as we’ve followed Annalise Keating and her students cover up so many things on the ABC show.

1. Suits

Surprise! Imagine being so good at practicing law that you accidentally wind up a lawyer, without a law degree? That’s the premise of Suits.
