Out of the whole firm, in each stage of new employees and old ones, Louis had potential and to be better than Harvey.

I personally think Mike was the best lawyer, but the show undermined him when it came to Harvey because Harvey is supposed to be the best and blah.

But Louis was an exceptional lawyer, he’s completely ruthless, his only downfall was his insecurity when compared to Harvey. He’s incredibly insecure the poor guy, add Harvey to the mix is a recipe for self destruction.

He tried so hard to impress everyone and it backfired on him because it messes with his head.

If there was no second guessing, I do think Louis would have been a much better lawyer than Harvey and everyone else in exception to Mike

Been thinking about this rewatching season 1.

Mike has no law degree, no bar admission record, no Harvard registrar file that matches his name. In real hiring, third party verification services flag mismatched education claims before the offer letter even goes out. Suits treats it like Harvey just vouched and that was that. Even in 2011, automated checks existed. The show basically skips over how Pearson Hardman never used them, or how Jessica and Louis never independently verified. Donna found out fast because she actually looked. Makes me wonder if the writers just assumed law firms hired on handshake deals back then, or if they knew and ignored it for plot. The whole firm runs on trust and gut reads instead of process, which tracks with how Harvey operates but falls apart the second anyone competent does due diligence. Did they ever address this directly and I missed it? Or is it one of those things you just accept and move on.

I understand for most people that Harvey-Mike dynamic was important for the show, but for me personally it was getting stale after the prison fiasco. Most episodes after prison were just

"Mike don't do that"
"Ok Harvey"
Proceeds to do it anyway

I feel like Samantha Wheeler and Alex Williams having a rivalry is fantastic, and having Zane and Harvey be kind of locked in battle most of the time also good. Donna is a bit forced this season, but not awful, and i love watching Louis Litt's character arc.

I do think that Mike and Rachel had great chemistry and were kind of a grounding presence in this show. I miss that, and i used to find mike a bit annoying, but his segments were a nice change in pace for the show.

Great comedy scenes in this season as well.

Just got done watching season 5 episode 7, first time watcher. And to refresh ur memory, thats when louis finds out harvey slept with Esther even when Louis told Harvey something personal and made him promise he wouldn't do anything, AND WHEN HE CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT IT AND SAID SOME THINGS RIGHTFULLY SO, HARVEY HAD the AUDACITY to tell LOUIS to SHUT UP AND ASSAULTED HIM. GOD I HATE THAT PIECE OF SHIT AIWIFBDJAOEGHDJDOW8DHZBJSIFGCG

I’m three episodes in to S7 and man everyone is so pissed off all the time. It makes me realize how much I miss Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) because she didn’t have to raise her voice to be fierce or be heard. Everyone in the show now thinks the best way to display dominance is to shout the loudest. There’s so much bickering, cat fighting, overdramatic reactions to everything. Louis is peak off-putting in this season.

There’s just no balance in emotion anymore. I noticed I had to turn the volume down.

This is less about whether you liked the character themselves and more about how an actor portrayed the actor and how well you think they did in their acting.

For me two that stick out are Max Beesley as Stephen Huntley and Eric Roberts as Charles Forstman, both are so slimey and horrible but I loved seeing them on screen, they held their own so well and make every scene they are in memorable

I mean in regards to not using her family in to getting Samantha back

I just got done watching Suits for the eleventh time and I was just wondering, why did they use that one plot device? I mean sure, there would be no basis for a show without this plot device but why couldn't they just have omitted it?

"hey, i'm become a real lawyer 😁😝"

- "Oh... shit, it's Anita Gibbs....."

Reached S5e08 and I just wish they'd let Louis develop a little bit more (and stay developed.) This was the perfect opportunity but they just want the drama to happen. It's so frustrating!

He's (somehow) my fav character and I just want him to be on good terms with the others for longer than 0.5-3 episodes. Writers seem to not want that.

Edit: when are they gonna go mudding ??? (Probably never but whatever)

“If we cant tell each other hard truths, then what are we doing?”

saw this at my local thrift shop and I immediately remember suits 😂

Been rewatching from the beginning and something keeps bothering me about how the firm handles physical security. You have these high stakes cases with millions in damages and trade secrets involved, yet file folders with client names on them are just sitting open on desks all the time. People walk in and out of offices constantly, sometimes people who should not even be in the building. Donna's desk is basically a clearinghouse for every sensitive document in the place and she just leaves them there while she goes to get coffee or talk to someone. Hardly anyone locks their door when they leave for depositions or court. One wrong person walks by and that is a breach waiting to happen. I work in data security so maybe I am just tuned to notice it, but seems like a firm that size would have actual policies about clean desk requirements and locked storage for active case files. Especially with the kind of corporate espionage storylines they run where people are constantly trying to steal information. The show treats physical security like it does not exist half the time. Does anyone remember a scene where this actually came back to bite them or caused a real problem for a case?

I know everyone wants a spin off with Mike and Harvey in Seattle but suits was already about them, a spin off about them is just suits season 10, also Meghan doesn’t act anymore and you can’t have a show with Mike and no Rachel, and you can’t just replace the actor. Pearson failed, Jessica just couldn’t do it by herself and suits La also failed because people kept comparing those characters to suits which hurt the show. But how about Sean Cahill? I was rewatching season 9 episode 8 with him and Harvey against Andrew Malik and I had an idea when Cahill went to talk to his superior, what if Sean had his own series? We would be able to see a justice show in the suits universe. A lot of fans like Sean, the directors like the actor, literally everyone likes the character and Neal. Sean is easily one of the best recurring side characters, him and Stuart but Stuart isn’t good enough for a centered show though stock trading is more interesting than law, Stuart wasn’t interesting enough to have a show focused on him but Sean does. What do you guys think? Would you like to see another final try of giving a spin off on suits and it is about Sean Cahill?

And I am pissed and disappointed at how Zane went out, the reason was so pathetic, that he somehow felt guilty for what happened years before to a guy that hurt his close friend and colleague? when he did the right thing to send a criminal to jail. what happens to him in there is not on Zane why did he feel guilty? besides he assaulted a woman ruthlessly punching and kicking her while down. To lose your license and decades of hard work for that just doesn't make sense to me.

Harvey made the same gesture with Louis Litt in the first episode.

I am not an american, so if it's somehow common, i wouldn't know.

S1 * E5

I’m on S3 right after the Darby split, and before that Harvey revealed to Jessica that he had made a deal with Darby, what a scene.

By S3, my biggest gripes about her is how she mishandles Louis. If she invested more time on Louis she would have had an even stronger team.
