Shocking.

As I stated under another topic, the ratings were faulty. The seventh episode had a 0.08/443k demographic (seasonal average of 0.10/513k). I don't think any network could reasonably justify keeping a show like this on the air. Too costly, and no advertisers would be happy with those kinds of numbers.

The writing was initially subpar. The first three episodes didn't really click for me. I can see why a variety of Suits fans were not impressed, even though I kept on just to see how it would end.

I couldn't recall any events to the backdoor pilot episode on the mother show. After a long hiatus, I'm sure some of us had forgotten certain details. It's bad when you don't know why or how a character ended up in a different setting.

It seemed this show was doomed from the start. I believe Gina Torres knew this when thanking fans for watching in one of her Twitter feeds. It was a goodbye without saying it outright.
