"Well, honestly, I'm not a massive fan of courtroom dramas"
About this Quote
The subtext is about taste, but also about brand management. Courtroom dramas carry baggage: speeches that turn into sermons, moral clarity that feels engineered, stakes inflated by orchestral swells and last-minute evidence. By saying he’s “not a massive fan,” Macht positions himself as someone who prefers character texture over procedural machinery. It’s a subtle nudge: if you liked him, maybe it wasn’t the genre you loved, it was the particular cocktail of swagger, banter, and interpersonal chess.
Context matters because Suits isn’t even a courtroom show in the classical sense; it’s a workplace drama cosplaying as law. That makes the line even sharper. He’s not dismissing his own work so much as separating it from the grim, gavel-banging tradition people might assume he belongs to. The “Well, honestly” preface is a tiny PR airbag, cushioning a potentially heretical opinion from fans who want their comfort TV validated.
