I finished the 7th season and watched one episode from the 8th so my judgment will not be on the whole series.
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.
Loved it but I won’t watch the 8th season.
