Suits - USA Network *Spoilers*

Just watched the latest episode. Some of the scenes were out of place, like the pot-smoking scene . It was an episode with not an awful lot in it, forced jokes & conversations and arguments that i'm sure we've heard before. Mikes scenes were actually the most interesting I think.

Great start to the season. It's going to be a really interesting 9 weeks ahead.

Very poor episode. The ending was the only saving grace I thought

Oh Mike.

We all saw that coming though right?!

Nothing of interest this goddamn week really.
Rachel is such a whiny pain in the hole.

I liked the episode but it was a bit cringy in parts. They just went overboard on the emotion, felt a bit forced at several different times.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed but there is one thing that really annoys me that they are doing far too much. Two people are having a conversation/argument - one asks a difficult question and then someone appears out of nowhere in the background with the answer. Happened about 3 or 4 times in last nights episode - once maybe but any more and its just a but silly. Did anyone else notice this?

Not great now tbh. Jessica's dialogue is just useless.You could see that mikes cell mate was either a marshal plant or something to that effect straight away.

Bar the Mike bits that was a terrible episode.

The constant we gotta save the firm line was just boring and came across so poorly.

One episode in and Mike already has an enemy so my hope of him being shanked is still alive. I found his attitude throughout the episode to be infuriating. Who the hell does he think he is to mouth off to the psychologist like that? He still seems to think he's a lawyer that can call the shots instead of a prisoner that can have his life quickly turned into a living nightmare by authority figures in the prison. His willingness to stay up all night having a heart to heart with his new "roommate" was also a bit cringey. All the prison scenes do a good job at showing how hopelessly naive Mike is.

All the office scenes were a bit meh. As much as I like Louis his willingness to fly off the handle at every opportunity is a bit tiresome. I did like his plan to use the partner buy-ins to settle the lawsuit though.

all being repeated on Dave at the moment is anyone wants to catch up.

In fairness, they have been doing that from day-one.

Mike is a follower who blames his lack of success on his circumstances, but in reality he only mimics what other people are doing: he mimics Trevor, Harvey and Sidwell then back to Harvey.

The show IMO has never made Mike a sympathetic character and I like how they're portraying him as less of a poor soul and more of an opportunist and a con-man.

Some very interesting lines in the most recent episode that IMO don't bode well for Mike long-term.

Fair points. I wish they could have done this without making him so annoying though.

Day 1 of prison, pour your heart out to a stranger and give your missus number to him.

He should surely be shanked in episode 2 at that rate.

Is it me or have they started being far more crude
I felt the episode was very contrived and the bit with the plant was a carbon copy of the trick they pulled in the last season when Mike was in the cell

Really liked ep 1
Can't wait till thursday

I love Louis and Harvey's fights

jesus Louis reminded of Chris Evans, he was so shouty in nearly every scene

It's a bit of a letdown really as we've seen in the past (particularly last season) that the character (and the actor that plays him) can be SO much more when given a chance.

But too often do they revert to one-dimensional Louis for cheap laughs instead

squonk

I'd agree with the sentiment here. The episode was a bit meh. Jessica and the lads getting stoned... yeah whatever! I was hoping Mike would get shanked too, or at least be made somebody's prison bitch but he's made an enemy at least. Stupid Mike.

Is it just me or is the show trying really hard to sound tough and edgy this time around. There was more Goddamns than you could shake a stick at and even a Jebus Christ in there! It felt like the writers got a memo from upstairs saying "We're the USA network. We're really hard and edgy now so ramp it up! OK!!!!". For me the JC went down like a clanger as it seemed to deviate from the established style of the show.

squonk

Christ I'm only 2 minutes into episode 2 and I'd pay good money to have someone shank Mike at this point. What an arrogant, entitled prick. He's more whiney than Rachel at this point!

pickarooney

That prison is as terrifying as a crèche.

Mr E

Still feels a few notches below the quality of season 5.

To be fair it's obviously minimum security with even things like tables and chairs in the middle of the cell block rather than the supermax style we see in action films

I thought it was a bit better this week but yea, Mike's smug attitude at the start is grating alright.

It was a strange decision to set part of the series in the prison. Dramatically, a min sec gaol is an incredibly dull place.

It's all a bit odd this season so far. It's like they're going out of the way to engineer conflict. It was nice that Jessica showed a human side in helping Solov. Meanwhile Mike and Harvey's prison nemesis seems more like a guy who'd slit your throat than a white collar crim. It's a pity they've already cast Neal McDonogh in another role. He'd be excellent as Mike's tormentor. I think Neal was the highlight this week, other than Donna as usual!

They pointed out that he shouldnt be there.

He was stitched up for white collar crime because of a technicality in a murder charge

I've actually enjoyed the last two episodes and I don't mind the prison sub-plot at all.

The fact Mike isn't likeable doesn't bother me anymore, as he hasn't been likeable for the past few seasons anyway. He just isn't likeable in prison this season is all :pac:
