I'm just going to ramble off some notes. Gave up after Season 4.


Season 3 starts to get silly with the Litt character. He went from angry and serious to comic relief. The show is littered with mind-reading two-shot angles I used back in high school film class. I had difficulty following all of the story lines. You have to be really good and tracking all the different minor players. It had an Ally McBeal / Boston Legal vibe where these seemingly dangerous characters roll in and then consistantly get obliterated. Too many shots of women's legs and ass as if that was necessary to bring in viewers. Also, every woman had to be a borderline model I guess to be a lawyer. Despite the difficulty following all of the corporations and minor players, a lot of the storylines had predictable conclusions. The real truth of the show is that Mike Ross should have bailed as early as possible. Having realized he would be a good lawyer, he should have gone to any school any other place in the country where no on would care about his previous academic issues, gotten his 4-year-degree, and then attended Harvard or any other top university to get his law degree. So the premise is a bit flakey. I'm thinkig Season 4 with Mike becoming an investment banker was some shark jumping. The rest of Season 4 was pretty much junk.

I agree with everything you said except the ''shots of women's legs and ass" commentary.

It really, really became a pain to watch the entire show.
