Hi Ether (sister of Abyss), hope you catch my message 😌
Yes, at the beginning there was a great tension because Mike Ross (aka My Cross, nice!) did not have a degree bar certificate, etc, and others were on the edge of finding out. But since that time there was another essential attribute that was growing: Ross had become a good TV lawyer to watch. His cases were deep and involving. It was like watching Sherlock Holmes as a lawyer. His intuition and memory made his actions and decisions profound and really interesting.
A division inside the firm should have been created: Class Actions. This would have not only helped develop the Ross character and confront the Spector character, but it would have developed and deepened the Firm's character. This did become evident in the first episode back in Season 8: it had no lustre, a very simple plot, no entrenched characters, and Heigl and the Alex Williams character don't have the same presence. We all know why Rachel Zane had to leave, but that could have been a great story for Ross: the major exist: the giant break up or death or something would happen to Rachel. This would have deepened not only the Ross and Firm's character but also give an extra element to Robert Zane's character. Ross' character at first being in prison had come off cheesy, but then it added a new conviction and perspective. A chance was taken and it paid off. That's what Suits is good at, just when you think something has no resolution in sight, there is a great twist or resolve that fits well. It disappeared in Season 8.
When a series teases a Superman with a chapter like Ross, where he was going to find out he can fly as a man on his own, and the Pearson character's new plot in Chicago fighting a vicious fight with corruption, and then just stopping all that, kills a series. Why?!! What happened? This felt like they went Mad Men rather than The Wire plot wise. The Wire moved from the Projects, to the Docks, to the Journalists, etc. It was still The Wire. Suits does not need to be in the same office or Be in New York. The plot can widen its location, it were the human characters that made the connection.
This is a call out to the series writers and producers, rethink the characters and how they develop, because you were on the right path but then like they have been saying in Suits: "You sh#t the bed." Remember how Game of Thrones finished, or how bad Dexter series finished, both where writers had disconnected from the characters and sentiment of the series. Rather think about Breaking Bad or The Wire. Suits has (had?) the characters built up very strong to be 'That Series' !! Think about it.
