A Good End to the Case
Aizaz34526 June 2014
Harvey is forced to use "Dirty" tactics to win the case against Mike. Due to his great affiliation with Mike and the fact that he already knows the "skeletons" in Mike's closet he is hesitant to do so.

At the same time Luis and Jeff start of fresh and a friendship starts to emerge.

Rachel is again put in a tough spot between Mike and Logan but she manages to come on top.

All in all a great and some what emotional end to this small duel between Harvey,(Logan) and Mike.

Next Stop Eric Woodal and the S.E.C !

Unhinged
Hitchcoc17 August 2023
I have to agree that things have fallen into ugliness and hatred. The characters who were wonderful in their daily interactions are now at each other's throats--in a big time, big money way. The SEC is closing in and they do whatever they can to sell each other out. Harvey and Mike have become the worst of enemies over night. Their venom seems contrived. Louis plays the buffoon for a while here, and it is funny, but the issues he is dealing with, positioning himself for the top, look ridiculous. Then there is Jessica and the guy who keeps coming on. She is trying to exhibit a spine but his constant harassment seems to be working. I just didn't enjoy this one.

No longer what it used to be

The first season was fantastic and huge fun with witty characters.

The second was more about office politics and the third went on and on about that murder case.

This 4th season sees the people we had become fond of, now turn nasty at each other, scream at each other, call each other names and are thoroughly unpleasant.

Are they all turning alcoholics? The drinking is getting ridiculous.

Harvey no longer smiles, Mike shouts, Rachel is for ever sulking, Jessica stares are longer and more and more frequent, Donna seems to spend her time telling people off, even Louis who was the comic relief during three seasons is no longer funny.

As for this damn take over case, we've already spent three long boring unpleasant episodes on it. How long will this go on? How patient will the audience be?

Mediocrity

Suits started out as a smart, brilliantly written dramedy about a lazy genius given a chance to shine by the legendary Harvey Specter. From pilot to episode ten, season one knocked it out of the park. Each episode dealt with a new case, yet there was still an underlying story arc that sewed the season together.

Yet, as the series progressed, Suits lost its edge. Amping up the drama to its current level was not a smart idea. I don't want to watch ~50 minutes of concocted drama between all the characters. I mean, in one of the episodes last season, EVERY character was mad at EVERY OTHER character, mostly for really petty reasons.

I could go on for pages about every character but I'm going to streamline it:

Harvey -known for his incredibly smart lines- has been disappointing. His writers seem to think that he's got this swagger about him so that no matter what they write, he'll still come off as awesome. They even completely misinterpreted their own characters relationship with Mike. They were supposed to be brothers, Harvey showing Mike the ropes. They developed that for three seasons. Yet now in this episode they say Mike was a 'surrogate son'? Really? Harvey has had absolutely no character progression to the point that his own writers forget what they're doing.

Speaking of, Patrick Adams has really been phoning it in lately. He used to put in 100% when portraying Mike, but now I can just see right through his acting. They relationship with Rachel is so forced and unhealthy it's impossible to watch. Is he seriously going to play a petty, jealous boyfriend? Is that his new role? "Let's just show that they have sex all the time! I mean that's all relationships are, right?" Mike's progressed into a whiny banker with more money than sense.

Part of the appeal was that this was an intelligently written show about a faux lawyer trying to make it. When they realized he couldn't do it because of his illegitimacy, they should have ended it. Sending Mike off to work somewhere else loses the whole point of this show even existing. Now he's somewhere else supposedly being happy but taking abuse from some banker, Harvey is boring, Donna isn't as smart, Rachel is just there as eye-candy (so let's throw in an ex-flame, didn't have enough of that with Jenny), Jessica is too arrogant, and Louis has just become a caricature. It's gotten so bad I can't even focus on the casework! Something about the SEC and needing this new guy to help? What? They should have sent Rachel off to Stanford, let Mike stay, and, I don't know, shown some development for any of their main characters?

This show could have done many things, but they let fame get to their heads. I don't even know what they can do to salvage what's left.
