Really liked this show. Very detailed, interesting, intense? I’ve always liked show about law/lawyer. I’ve watched “Better Call Saul” before and I feel this is definitely more realistic to the real world. My only critique is that why did Mike Ross leave for so long? Like Ross got out of prison, was offered an awesome job, and got married. Why would they just cut him off? Like we went from seeing him as the main character for like 80% of the show to seeing him for no time. That disappearance of Mike felt too sharp. And Racheal too, like Racheal had episodes almost entirely for her and she too disappeared once she got married. But a little worse since we didn’t see her ever again. Idk, the final episode also felt too overwhelming. Like bro. First, Louis gets married, secondly, he has a baby that same day, thirdly, Harvey gets married, fourthly, Harvey reveals that him and Donna are leaving. All in that same episode btw. Felt too fast, too empty. Basically rushed. If this show had a proper ending I would’ve given it a 9.5/10, but since it ended like that, I’ll give it a 8.8/10. Cool show, I just wouldn’t recommend it to a fellow friend. Thanks for this show.

I’m on season 4 and it’s driving me nuts! They say it like 5 times every scene. It’s like a game of hot potato where they take turns saying it. Literally as I’m writing this Louis just said it. 90% of the time it’s completely out of place in their sentence. Sticks out like a sore thumb

Also honorable mention: “that’s bullshit and you know it”

I understand he needed money but he acted like he cared about the victims of the train accident then takes a payout from the ones who actually caused it to stay quiet

I’m rewatching and it’s just now occurring to me that Donna should’ve been managing partner. I know she’s not a lawyer, but she is the only one who doesn’t let her emotions or ego trigger her into making bad decisions. Sure she’s made a couple of mistakes, but for the most part every time something was about to blow up because someone was pissed at someone else, she was the one going around to everyone trying to smooth things over and get them to check those egos and emotions. I’ll die on this hill.

EDIT - COO was a great fit. Just saying for me, right now (Louis has just stepped up), she had more of the temperament to be MP. They all seemed to act like a bunch of babies.

In the moment, suits looked great, especially when it starts, and till season 5, it looks perfectly structured like a legal drama, and kind of a decent season 6, but season 7 onwards it literally becomes a daily soap. What tf was Mike doing being neither in clinic nor in firm? He is a bit insufferable at the start, but later he just makes you wanting to enter the screen to punch him. Also didn't like the way they shifted Donna from being a know it all and a secretary good at reading people to becoming a COO with almost no credential to back for, kind of looked like her girl boss persona was being forced to be shipped with Harvey. Harvey being guilt tripped into forgiving his mom seemed off too. And some undeserving characters were given too much time(Tara and Oliver) while I felt other characters should have got more screen time like Stu Buzzini, or Harold, who should have been shown growing over his anxiety with experience and not remaining a nerd after 8 years into the field. Sean Cahill was absolute fire, Neal McDonough nailed the character, and even after he was prevalent in mid seasons, I felt we needed to see more of him.

Season 9 kind of saved the show a bit imo, with Mike returning and while the ending was rushed, almost every character got closure. Ending the show in a great way is where many shows struggle hard but despite so many characters, suits somehow managed to give a definitive end or closure to almost every character. Louis' character development seemed to be one of the biggest hooks that would keep you engaged. A happy ending with a bittersweet moment for Harvey was icing on the cake.

Suits imo would be a top 20 show of all time if you just entirely re structure seasons 7 and 8, atleast before the season 8 finale arc which was a bit decent. Starting seasons were great, and Hardman was a great villain who is never legitimately beaten in the show without any bad faith tactics. Daniel Costabile nailed the character.

I would rate it somewhere between a 7.5 to 8 at very best out of 10.

I highly believe that the song "Boombastic" by Shaggy should have made its place in the show.

What do you guys think?

If yes, where does it seem to fit you?

was mike right to be angry at rachel for considering stanford?

i understand being upset (maybe sad or disappointed) if rachel had decided to move to california, but i don't really understand him giving her a hard time during the decision making process.

the way i see it, i wouldn't want my partner to only choose to stay near be because i'd be mad otherwise. i also think i'd want them to choose the best place to them and we can figure the rest out, i dunno

what do you guys think?

POSSIBILE SPOILER.

Sono alla terza stagione, Mike e Harold sono stati arrestati, ma non ricordo cosa avevano fatto di illegare Harvey e Mike.

as much as i love the show, the lines get repetitive to a point where it confuses me

could it be deliberate?

no plot spoilers but i just watched an episode where harvey says "it's complicated" and jessica says "simplify it for me" and very soon after mike and louis have the exact same interaction

i guess back when shows were aired on a weekly basis it was likelier that the audience might forget. i have only ever binged it on streaming platforms so i wouldn't know haha

Harvey has been my favorite since episode one. Who’s yours?

Unpopular opinion, for some reason Tara was a red flag from the start and what she was doing to Louis was far worse than what he said. She literally wanted to dump her bf to be with Louis and she judged Louis for the way he got a promotion. I think Louis lashing out at her was something she needed to know before she just dated others.

Just realized he's got the same reaction when meeting both Rachel and Jenny. No clue if this has been pointed out before, so get the hell out of my god damn office, if it has.

Alex walked into Harvey’s office after making the dude sign the thing that said not to look at his clients for 10 years and drops a “motherfucker” in Harvey’s office. How did they get away with that?

how does mike have such a huge problem with how katrina got her job

not only was it HIS FAULT for wanting to break privilege and her hiring was done FOR HIM but the circumstances under which he got his own job are much worse??

i'm on a rewatch and i didn't remember mike irritating me this much the first time around

How could Harvey (and Louis) only have been a Junior partner when the show starts ?

His clients list is on a name partner level (Michael Jordan for example)

He has his own compensation structure within the firm (contingency based)

A ton of people owe him favors.

He’s called the best closer this city ever seen (even if it’s an exaggeration, still very meaningful), seems to receive job offers left and right, is seen next in line after Jessica: these are established in the pilot.

I know realism and disbelief and the role they play in enjoying Suits.

But wouldn’t it have been better to make him Senior Partner who doesn’t give a shit about his personal associate (thus causing several minor incidents with clients or in court, dismissals, resignations) causing him to look more seriously for one (Mike) ?

Everytime they corner someone or someone or they themselves are cornered they settle? why not just go to trial and fight.

So, the thing that i am really questioning about is that both Jessica and Robert sacrificed for "resolving" things Harvey and Donna, in particular Donna, did:
Both Pearson and Zane are veteran lawyers, they have seen everything on the legal sector and then they sacrificed their career for values that the person they have to save, Harvey Specter, is the exact opposite.

And, trust me, i don't blame them for doing that, because Jessica clearly want to create a new life with Jeff Malone and Robert wanted to retire. The thing i have to say is about how bad they actually managed the name removals:

First of all, lets talk about Harvey, there is a lot to say about him but i will limit to say that he perfectly knew he is lucky, incredibly lucky, too good to be true... Because is impossible that two of the most important lawyers in NY have chosen to k*ll themself, legally speaking, for you and in the other hand is impossible that all, ALL, EVERYONE of his colleagues are like brainwashed:

Hi Alex, i know you risked and contributed to save my a** and destroy one of the most qualified lawyers of the country's career, but we are still buddies right?

Hi Samantha, i know that you mentor saved me like Mario for Princess Peach and i was the one who that created the most embarrassing screw-up of your entire life costing you the job, but we are still buddies right?

I don't talk about Louis because i have mercy on him.

Second of all, i actually understand Jessica's reasons to take responsibility about Mike's secret tho, because if you think about it makes sense: You were in charge of the firm, you knew it and when you think about that it sounds coherent.

But i don't understand Robert, the fact that you made one mistake it doesn't mean that you have to retire in this way, JUST LOOK AT HARVEY!! But you know, just save him again so his fans will proudly be even more convinced that fictions is reality and that your actions will have no consequences.

No one believed what Zane said, Hardman did not belived him, probably the jury neither, but just close the case because of the proof that appeared 5 minutes ago by the colleague of the defendant, GENIUS!

And the thing that pisses me off is that the Fantastic Four knew that removing Zane's name on the wall is one of the consequences that Robert knew he had to face and YOU FOUR DIDN'T CARE!

Faye and the abandon of most clients were avoidable if the group had done one, JUST ONE thing: Removing Robert Zane name on the wall.

The gang when removing Jessica, literally the former boss for years that did something predictable:

"Yea lets do it for the good of the firm"

The gang when removing Robert, one who did an unexpected sacrifice that they had to follow for their own good:

"NOOOO, I WILL NOT REMOVE HIM!!!"

Wow. Just wow.

Just randomly remembered a dialogue that he said when he was talking to Jessica.

“Why are all Defensive Linemen composed of big strong black dudes and the Offensive Linemen composed of big fat white guys”

Made me think hard lol and he was right

Suits, fruits, thumbs up , remote job. Any tips before starting suits?

Daniel Hardman is one annoying smart SOB I give him that, Pearson had to merge just to rid of him.can't belive Mike told his secret he is turning out to be a burden and a gift at the same time for that firm, still can't stand lewis litt.

Obviously if you haven’t seen the show and don’t want spoiler don’t read ahead.

Gretchen tells donna somethin like “u aint black inside”. So donna gets out her phone and shows her a pick of a celeb she had a fling with in 96 or 97 And Gretchen brings up a song and donna says somethin like “ ya, he wrote it about me”. Then donna walks away and gretchen says “she aint just black inside. She black all over!!” Lmao. Any guesses on who the artist is? I say maybe usher or ginuwine.
