Deserted Kite

I finished the 7th season and watched one episode from the 8th so my judgment will not be on the whole series.

!!!Spoiler alert!!!

I really enjoyed Suits. It felt planned, the action logical and thought-through. I like how it shows both the good and the bad side of being a lawyer. It shows how hard it is to succeed in the world no matter how hard you try ( Luis as an example). Also where women stand along with different races and skin colours. With the cases we were able to see different life challenges/ problems people deal with. Even if you are not interested in law it is still a good opportunity to learn a bit about how the law sistem works. Now, I can’t say if it is actually like that but it definitely gave me an idea of the world of law and what I could do if ever in a difficult situation.

The caracters are built very well. I like how Mike even by being a genius threw away his life because of bad influence which shows how much your life depends on your choices more than you as a person. Though I think after prison we kind of lost his witty sense of humor and his movie quotes with Harvey. I think it was a wrong choice for him to get a license. If he brcame a teacher as it was mentioned he could, it would be just right.

Harvey’s caracter is very complex. We see him as the “bad boy” type of caracter which of course is a bit stereotypical and worn out. But if done right it can do miracles. I , personally, loved him but I guess it’s about the way you look at him. I love how he opened up. Definitely his relationship with Paula ( the therapist) was a big step to his emotional growth. The moment his panic attacks started I felt the series were the most interesting as well as when was Mike’s trial. During that time I feel that Harvey’s caracter was in a bad place mentality but definitely in a good place as a development.

Donna. I love her. I mean who doesn’t? She is funny, charming, smart. Donna has a dream of becoming an actress, faithful to Harvey. Her caracter was just the” light “ of the show. The relationship between her and Harvey was great though I think their romantic one should have been established and progressed earlier in the show. Otherwise, I love everything about Donna.

Now, Rachel in general is very sweet. I really like how they made her cheat bacuse that made her imperfect. Before that she was very idealised. ( This also goes for when Donna screwed up with that evidence file) But what I love most about Rachel is how she shows us that grades and wether you go to Harvard or no make you agood lawyer or worthy to be one. ( This kind of goes for Mike but not exactly because be is a geniusBut she doesn’t give up fighting for her dream. I love how the series show that your worth is not based on grades, marks or always results. ( This can also be seen in the 7th season with that associate Luis became friends with) In general Rachel is a really sweet person and her growth was more in a career/ relationship way than mentaly.

Luis is also great. I loved his caracter even though I feel the writers were too harsh with him. He should have married Sheila the first time and this with kids shouldn’t have happened in my opinion. He deserved that happy marriage. He is the caracter with the most obvious imperfections. He is quirky and weird but you cannot not love him. Luis improved as a person the most.

Jessica! God help if you don’t admire that woman for everything she is and does for the others. Absolutely stunning! Brave and wise at the same time. Even if I was sad when she desided to give up the firm I felt it was the right thing to do because it would give Harvey a chance to step up to his full potential. I am glad she returned for some episodes from time to time.

I can’t talk about all the caracters but I love how they were built and created. How their actions matched their personalities and way of thinking.

The MUSIC! Let’s talk about the music. I usually don’t notice it or if I do I don’t really like it. But HERE... probably one of the best features of the series. I shazamed so much my spotify playlist is Suits based. They also chose unknown artists which probably deserve more recognition and I really value that. Especially because when being unknown they are kind of only yours.

So the 8th season is just too big of a change for me. I am afraid I won’t like it and never see the series the same way again. What I wished is for it to end the 7th season with Ross and Rachel getting married. Harvy finally stables the firm after Jessica and either starts dating Donna or stayes with Paula. Luis having a kid with Sheila or not... whatever just them together.

¡Spoiler alert!

So at the beginning it’s very intimidating. You have Ted - a guy believing in true love and especially the one at first sight. Then he meets Robin and it doesn’t go as expected. I love how their characters are opposites of the stereotypes of how women are all about marriage and guys not ready for commitment.

I think Robin and Ted should have gotten together earlier because by the time they did I was already against the idea of them two together. Eventhough I could have accepted them. After they got separated that was it for me. Every moment between them after that made no sense. I know, I know “Love is not supposed to make sense” but honestly it didn’t work the first time why continue?

Of course here comes the dilemma with Barney. Yes, Robin did try again with him but in their defense the first break up between Barney and Robin was just bad writers’ choice and for no good reason. It was a BIG downfall when they broke up because both their characters wouldn’t have ended up that way. But I cheered for them from the moment they hooked up until the last seconds of the show and they are still end game to me.

Lily and Marshall’s relationship was built very well. They had their pits and turns which showed the reality of being in a marriage/ serious relationship. No complains there. I loved their characters.

Now Barney’s character I really enjoyed observing and analyzing. He was very different from everyone else and always gave the show a bit of spice. And when he got together with Robin I loved how they both grew up together, how they figured things out together.

When they broke up it’s like Barney went to stage one as if making no progress. I can see either as bad writing again or as a coping mechanism. After Robin and Barney get divorced and he is just the same... It breaks my heart. The way he became father - COULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING AND SENSUAL but we didn’t even know the mother and we had no time to get it through our heads.

So let me start on the whole last season. It started very strong. It had everything. Though I couldn’t shake off the bad feeling that the writers are gonna separate Robin and Barney which ended up happening anyway. But I would have loved it if they stayed together and build a family.

So everything is LEGEN - wait for it - DARY until the last two episodes.

They just hit you. Ted having a baby before getting married. Ted’s relationship with the mother. Ted meeting the mother. Barney and Robin’s “it’s great!”. Then Lily and Marshall have another baby. Then Robin and Barney GET DIVORCED. Barney has a child from a random hook up. Then Ted gets married and obviously Robin is a bit like stranger in that scene. The mother is ill. Then she dies. Then you see the kids as if their mother’s death doesn’t affect them ( even though it’s 6 years) and suddenly it’s Ted and Robin again.

Yes, the series started with them but come on dude! It’s just not gonna work. In the end none of the characters made any progress. If you look at them in the begging and in the end they are the same people. And in 10-15 years you change A TON.

In conclusion Robin and Ted could have been end game if they got together A LOT earlier and could make a compromise about the marrige and kids thing. Barney and Robin were better because they wanted the same things and believe me if Barney sacrificed getting married, Robin could have sacrificed working just in New York or Barney traveling with her would’ve been that bad. The series were WAY too long. Should have ended at season 5. I was so annoyed at the end because we were always talking about meeting the mother and we were never meeting her actually. AND IT WAS ROBIN IN THE END AGAIN! The mother’s character was way too perfect even though I liked her. Before Barney and Robin’s wedding Ted’s relationships were total crap. And the story with that bakery girl ( I forgot her name) was so out of place.

In the end everything was just out of place. It felt disconnected.
