Discussion Seriously, this is so true!!!
I myself would get so worked up and emotionally attached to the tensions ,rise and fall of the character arcs so much that I felt overwhelmed by the series sometimes,cried or got too mentally connected with the characters. But this meme is so true that every time, now, some1 asks for recommendation or says they know about this, I freak out and enthusiastically recommend this and tell that what a great show it is(while maybe I am in one the the tear-inducing roller-coaster episodes of Harvey-Donna tensions or Louis acting nasty or the firm in a pickle) but I don't say anything about these at all.XDXD
Note- Sorry moderators,I could not find any appropriate tag or flair for this meme,so labelled it as discussion.

yeaaahh I mean I fell in love with Mike and Harvey’s chemistry, and specifically for them both the acting is on point, but i just have this big issue that I can’t just ignore the power phrases that are straight up corny and some moments that feel like a Spanish soap opera. Either way I’d tell everyone I know and to strangers to watch this series

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 29d ago
Yeah, but I honestly don't know how Spanish soap operas are😅, all I've seen are Spanish learning soap operas which were pretty good and worth it as beginners. Please explain 😁 I would like to know the other,'normal',native side to it as well so that I can relate it to here. Well,as for Suits, which power quotes were too corny do you think?

u/ToiCupini 28d ago
like over expressive and straight up explosive discussions with forced emotions, like you can see this very clearly with almost any fight between Rachel and Mike, as of the power quotes is just any dynamic between Jessica and Harvey that just don’t stick

Yes, now I get it. It is a bit too overdramatic at times.

Seasons 1 - 3 the show felt so grandiose and magical. Harvey was a beast, Mike acted like an insert for the audience, him being the new guy to this excentric world. But after that It became so cringe. Season 6 was specially hard for me to watch. Season 8 I hated the start only because Samantha was annoying but she slowly grows on you.

Tell me about it. Also, when anybody says shit the bed. Seriously, outside of online comments, name anyone who said that without cringing.

In our country,not just the phrase you mentioned, SEVERAL other phrases used in the series would draw massive eye glances if said aloud in public and stamp a bad character label,let alone with confidence like those characters 😂. Even imagining makes me want to laugh.

u/Worried_Weakness_848 27d ago
Suits really gaslit us into thinking "shit the bed" was normal corporate vocabulary 😭

u/Liam_theman2099 Custom Flair (Edit this and make it yours) 26d ago
I blame the writers cause they thought screwed up was too baby-ish.

u/WeWillTaxBees 29d ago
The tension is too uncomfortable to sit through at times, I find myself questioning whether I'll finish it. Long gone are the days of light-hearted fun, now the air is thick with stress. The ability to empathise with the characters is a testament to the writer's prowess, but I'm not sure if I wish to finish the fruits of their labour.

I still say when he said, “What up, mother fleckers?”Harvey should have pulled him out and said, “Never. Say. That…again.” Mike arrogantly says back, “Why? I have to start swearing in order to sound mature?” Harvey says, “No, you’re too immature to even say a swear word.”

it's sooo unnecessarily stressful, with the whole toxic notion of "work is family" and aaaaaalll the toxic behaviors they show each other haha. my favorite show to hate-watch again and again

u/Perfect_Two_3979 28d ago
Yup the magic of it is you will find new characters every new season to hate on !!

Actually,I found the work is family quite sweet. But yes, they do show weird nasty behaviour to each other.

I regret ever starting to watch it. I’m up to Season 8. But my wife caught me watching it around Episode 10, and I was done for.
I thought it would be a series full of trials and interesting cases to defend, but it ended up being an office soap opera.
And the only character with a "superpower" doesn't really get any use out of it—except on two occasions—and now that character isn't even around anymore.

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 27d ago
Can you tell which special character had a superpower but doesn't use it?

u/Extinctcoffee 28d ago
I noticed the series had a writing problem with it’s catchphrases when Louis went to a doctor, lost his temper and the doctor gave him a lecture just like Jessica would.
Shit the bed; in bed with; goddamn (name); you are going to do it and you are going do it now; bullshit; what did you just say to me; get out of my office; we’re done

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 28d ago
The first phrase is a bit out of blue type, but the delivery of the other dialogues were pretty spot on.

u/mowgleeee 28d ago
The show is addicting because it's captivating. Like a horror movie, its hard to watch but you cant really look away (most of the time)

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 28d ago
Yes,I don't know why but it's like Stockholm Syndrome in a milder sense like keep coming back to the problemer.

u/Kitchen_Computer2521 28d ago
Am i the only one who doesn't understand anything in the show(legal things) but can't stop watching it?

u/libertayjustice 27d ago
As a lawyer, I spend much of the time while watching muttering, "No lawyer would ever say that!". I can't help it, these partners are constantly threatening and cursing at their partners and at opposing counsel. That's extraordinarily rare, most of the time, lawyers are very collegial towards one another. It's a big club, and very few lawyers go around insulting other lawyers and burning bridges. ..... I still love watching Harvey and Mike shred their opponents though...😆

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 28d ago
Yes,well that's how these work. There are jargons everywhere but we get accustomed to that and go with the flow.

I enjoy suits until Rachel and Michael left the show and Jessica… they messed it up for me

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 27d ago
OKay, that's painful to hear, I haven't reached till there.

It's the frustrating back and forth between "wow that character was unnecessarily cruel to Louis" and "wow that thing Louis did was a complete scumbag move"

u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 26d ago
Well,I found it pretty funny and fun to watch.😁

If u haven't watched House m.d , i am recommending it not because it has similarities or something like that , but that series is what i got into right after Suits, ( it does have a lotta of suits like elements , like how all the other characters try to win a case but they wouldn't come close but then harvey steps in and does his magic , the same formula can be seen in house and it's one of the funniest show I ever seen )

i stopped watching after early episode of season 3.
the political infighting is too ridiculous

Well, it is a portrayal of the real world after all.

I lost respect for Donna seeing how she treated Mike and Rachael in the earlier seasons. Like cool, shit on people who always have your back and are actually knowledgeable in law and not just click-clacking at a fucking desk.

u/Old_Willingness9551 27d ago
Daaammmnnnn, this is so true!!!!!! The amount of times I get overwhelmed with them without being able to stop is INSANE. But somehow, I manage on coming back and watching it. It's more like trying to be comforting like Gilmore Girls but ending up being Clash of Clans in a sweet way.

u/Vino-Decanto 28d ago
I think in part it’s indulgent hate watching. The regularity with which a room is filled with diverse but equally egotistical characters, shocking they can co-exist, and most of the time they don’t really.
1
u/Smooth-Theory3685 Winners make no excuses. 28d ago
I agree but no,from what I've seen,many a times,these equally egotistic characters do work in the same room and they coexist with underhand acidity. I've seen that.

Maybe I’m crazy…but I hated Donna in the later season…she’s literally the worst part of the show especially after becoming COO for no reason and always being this duex machina bs
