OK. I pressed the FF button at least five times in this. What a pointless first episode for the season...The series is now officially pointless...
You can check, if you want, my review for the first episode of the previous season where I wrote "...the writers just don't know what to do..." Well, in this episode, creator/writer Aaron Korsh, seems to made up his mind on what to do with his show, but he just doesn't cut through...
He obviously tries some sort of REBOOT after the departure of Gina Torres (who there is a chance she gets her own show as Jessica) by upgrading EVERYONE to a new role including ...Donna! Yet, the dynamic of the 5 main characters remains EXACTLY the same! The cast now feels really small. Inadequate and unimpressive. And the dialog between them boring and purposeless. You have heard it a hundred times before.
Also there is no "villain" or an opponent of some sort or any other interesting character to have a true dramatic conflict and suspense. There is no Daniel Hardman, Sean Cahill, or Anita Gibbs. No Tony Gionopoulos or Charles Forstman ...Hell... not even Scotty! Suits is now a shadow of itself, with the 5 main characters patting on each others back and feeling sorry after some (unnecessary?) yelling.
IMDb doesn't offer a Zero grade, but I wouldn't put a "0" to this episode. It deserves more like "1" because I smiled when Harvey said to Mike "Besides, I haven't even told you the best part yet." and Mike responded "You only got two weeks to live?" !!! Honestly I wouldn't mind if "Suits" had only 2 weeks to live too.
