    When the series isn't bogged down in relationship drama, it's focusing on ill-defined backroom deals and coercive, no-fault settlements rather than exploring meaningful courtroom arguments that draw a clear line between the murky ethics of corporate law and the personal stakes of desperate individuals.

    Season 7 opens up with a lot of emotional turmoil that presents itself as anger and frustration for the firm and how things are going to shakeSeason 7 opens up with a lot of emotional turmoil that presents itself as anger and frustration for the firm and how things are going to shake down in the post-Jessica era of Specter-Litt. It's early, but it looks like Suits has found some dormant vigor that helped capture my attention more than usual in the show's seventh season. The show also addresses a critical issue: what happens now? Suits has a lot to answer going forward as the encounters of the back half of the season open a lot of doors. Jessica Pearson is likely not completely out of the picture and the events of the last couple episodes set off a perfect jumping point for her spinoff series, Second City. The heart-warming conclusion of season 7 also finds a way to write off Patrick Moore and Meghan Markle's fictional romance by sending them on their own path. This season really does shake up the series more than ever before and will set an interesting table for season 8. What has surprised me the most is that Suits can still hold my interest better than most shows after this much time. I see other viewers' complaints that the biggest plot to Suits was basically resolved a couple seasons ago, and in some ways that's absolutely true but the show isn't about one single story - it's been about the characters and their progression all along and anyone watching this show should be aware of that. Sometimes there's a brief slowdown of interest and Suits doesn't feel as sharp or as thrilling as it can be but it has always found its groove again shortly thereafter.

    Still, the show needs to find some hearty drama in season 8 because without Patrick and Meghan's characters to steel screen time, the plot will have to be more focused and the stars that remain will need to be as fiery as ever. I think they can handle it and I think that season 7 serves as a good fork in the road that will allow Suits to wrap up more storylines before the show inevitably finds its end. Thankfully that doesn't seem to be too soon as the USA network has acknowledged that Suits is a mainstay in its original production catalog and I'd assume we're in for not just a season 8 but a season 9 or 10 before we are forced to say goodbye for good.    … Full Review »

    'Suits' was never a high-concept show, and that's what made it charming. The fallibility and approachability of the individual characters.'Suits' was never a high-concept show, and that's what made it charming. The fallibility and approachability of the individual characters. Each with well-defined strengths and weaknesses, playing together in an ensemble. The last strong season of the series was 5, Mike's fall and eventual incarceration.

    Season 6 was an odd melange never really finding its feet, as the team moved from crisis to crisis, resolving them with varying degrees of believability. It's hard to continue from the end of Series 5's plot-line. Not only was Mike 'found out' but also he confessed and accepted a jail sentence. That's the end of the series' major conflict and plot. Series 6 attempted to reboot the storyline as being about something other than Mike's dark hero story, but it didn't take. Instead the characters felt flat and generally banal. There were a few hero moments and legal wizardry that are the show's trademark, but these were and are exceedingly rare.

    If Series 6 fell flat, Series 7 picks up where that left off. The dialogue sounds choppy and forced. The characters themselves are generally unbelievable, and there's weak arcs. The therapist conflict could have taken all season to play out, rather than forcing it through an episode. If there's one word for Episode 1 of Series 7, it's impatient. If there's another word, it's flat.

    Unfortunately, I don't really see where Suits goes from here. The major conflict has passed, and the writers don't have a confident strong adversary or theme for Spector's ascension. It's gone from a big New York story into Life at a Law Firm, and I don't know how long that will hold people's attention. I think we'll see the series wrap up quite quickly from here.    … Full Review »
