2. Harvey's Risky Decision

Harvey hiring Mike, knowing full well he wasn’t a lawyer, is reckless and highly improbable. Senior partners at firms like Pearson Hardman protect their careers and reputations above all else. Trusting a stranger with such a massive secret defies logic. Harvey’s gamble drives much of the show’s drama, creating suspense as they work to hide Mike’s secret. However, the more realistic route would have been for Harvey to help Mike get into Harvard through a recommendation, preserving his integrity while still highlighting his mentorship. The choice makes the story iconic but stretches believability too far.
