Suits (TV Series) Right-Hand Man (2018) User Reviews

The magic of SUITS was the Mikey adventures. It shoulded have end last season.

[AlFoster33 · 6/10 · 24 August 2018]

I've been following the show over the years and across the seasons and as all the mayority of fans feels, the series should have end last season 7.

No sure why, but show runners decided it worth one more ride for the audience to keep up the story of "Pearson, Specter, Anybody" goin on and fabricate fights within, like the one goin on with the feauturing Katherine Heighl's character. That is ofcourse not messing with the actress wich i dearly admire and respect as well. But i sincearly think her role was not ment to be at all.

Katrina and Louis relationship as boss-employee never really got me intersted one bit.

Donna is like c'mon she is always one step ahead of all and she's not even a lawyer. Always the same!

Finally, Harvey lost a fight for the first time since... i not even remember. But it was sad how it went all off.

Please producers, just kill this show with dignity or let it die with the glory of better days it saw.

Getting thin

[jasondbradley · 6/10 · 30 October 2019]

Always good having some new blood in a show, like Alex character but Heigls part is all wrong in my opinion. I like Robert Zane as he makes at least one lawyer likeable. Is it me or have the characters just become more bitter and nasty. They never listen to each other, and act like kids. How can they run that firm. Maybe this is the way the show will end with a wronged ex client or Lewis having a breakdown and shooting everyone. It's a shame that I'm trying to find some happiness in these last episodes. I hope Harvey leaves for Seattle with Donna to do pro bono work.

Did the writers all quit?

[roseannday · 6/10 · 20 July 2018]

Maybe it's the writers or maybe it's Katherine Heigl, who can't fill either of Gina Torres's heels, but the new season's first episode lacked the polish and pace of earlier episodes. Let's hope the writers figure out a way to keep the show interesting without relying on any more middle finger 'showdowns' between Macht and Heigl.

Seems as if all they ever do is fight each other

[Kijofreg · 8 March 2020]

The fight for name and managing partner is getting a little old. Seems as if it's all they ever do in American law firms, based on this show. Also, the dialogue has always been a bit stiff, but it's definitely gotten worse. And why do they use each other's names so much? You don't do that in real life. I was happy to see a new season on Netflix, but I'm actually rather disappointed with the first episode.

I want to believe

[Luigi_Sartor · 7/10 · 28 July 2018]

Everybody's saying you killed the cast you killed the series, but I have to believe on this show that has delivered for consecutive seasons. It will be a struggle without 2 main characters, yes, I agree, but let's give the writers and the director a chance to work things out. I won't judge after the first episode, let's see where this goes. And I have faith!

The Pain of Swallowing the New SUITS

[scottkursch · 9/10 · 10 March 2019]

Welp, the reality of life without Jessica, Mike, and Rachel is upon us. While it's true that the Series will never be the same without the narrative that this drama was built upon, I think it extremely unfair to bash the writing, acting, new storylines, and additional characters.

I worried that Suits would become unwatchable with the departure of key cast members and with the staleness that can accompany LONG running TV dramas, but I whole heartedly do NOT find that to be the case. Regardless of the loss of Jessica. Mike, and Rachel and everything they provided, Suits is STILL a top notch quality show, albeit not the out of the park home run it once was. I believe much of the criticism in the user reviews is due to the emotional attachment the previous Seasons evoked from its loyal audience.

If you notice, all those supposed critics continue to watch, because it IS still better than most of what's on television. I can't help but notice that the harsh reviews are mainly made up of the less intelligible, less mature, and the copy n paste variety. Some reach for the standard impressive review lingo, yet still leave me questioning if English is their first language.

In short, viewers are just jumping the gun as an emotional reaction to undesired change, having basically been spoiled by a one of kind plot line and script. Again they continue to watch and criticize because if it was REALLY crap they would watch something else. The truth is that not much else can challenge this production team and product, in spite of its drop off. This is the first new episode and I predict by mid-season that tunes will change.

I'll admit that there are marginally better choices for character replacement than Katherine Heigl, but to suggest she entirely lacks the acting chops to fit in with this ensemble, is absurd. She is more than able and qualified to develop an engaging, compelling, and dare I say, titillating character.

Call the premiere a "weak start" to the Season if you like, but I prefer to categorize it as a legitimately strong and powerful continuation, considering how long the show's been running and the absence of multiple CORE key players that the show was built on. Very few TV dramas could survive, much less thrive, after such a change. So criticize all you like if it makes you feel good, but you're obviously still watching for a reason. If it was THAT poor you wouldn't even be here to complain and belittle. There are literally HUNDREDS of other TV Series NOT worth your time to tune in to and rate 1 out of 10. As for me, I'd never waste HOURS of my time continually watching a show I deem less than 8/10 and "washed up". I know what's out there and it takes less than an episode to cast aside the 4/10's and move on.

Not the same... :(

[Just-A-Girl-14 · 7/10 · 21 June 2020]

To me, Gabriel Macht was always the heart of the show but it is true that Harvey and Mike were like Batman and Robin and Batman without Robin is just not the same. It makes me even more upset about last season final. Harvey and Mike spend about two seconds together in their final episode. Instead, Harvey was with Jessica and Mike was ok with getting married without Harvey and with leaving just like that from out of the blue. It was wrong and it didn't feel like them at all, so I never really had the chance to say goodbye.

This episode was ok. Truth be told, I always thought Zane would be a great fit to replace Jessica. I couldn't see Harvey doing that job but he actually did surprisingly good as managing partner once he got into it. I also have to admit that I miss Rachel more than I thought I would. I always thought I'd miss Mike and Rachel but watching Donna and Katrina made me realise I miss the interactions between Donna and Rachel more. Katrina is ok, I like her but she is not Rachel and frankly, after all the talks about Rachel and her father, I find it weird to see him there without her.

As for Katherine Heigl as Samantha Wheeler, I have to agree with most of the reviews here. I don't like Samantha and I don't think Katherine Heigl was the right choice for the show at all! Instead of doing that, they should have found a way to keep Patrick J. Adams. Markle got married and left but there were plenty of ways to keep Mike without splitting him from Rachel. Watching the show without Mike and Rachel is bad enough, I wish they didn't bring Heigl, she makes it worse.

Harvey lost Mike, lost Jessica, lost control of the firm and it makes me feel sad. It's just not the same anymore. They should have kept Mike for another season or two (while Rachel is getting things ready in Seattle) and give us enough time to say goodbye to the show and then wrap it up.

I enjoyed watching

[shravanhotha · 9/10 · 24 July 2018]

It is good to see things move ahead without the love birds.

Turnover

[Hitchcoc · 6/10 · 13 September 2023]

With Mike gone, we have Robert, whose middle name is contention. He has a hit man, played by Katherine Heigel. She is ruthless and unfeeling. They use this episode to force Katrine to get rid of a bunch of associates and she starts out with no regard for anyone, but we know she is a good character. The power struggle between Robert and Harvey is moving right along here. A former client of Mike's shows up, suspecting his partner of embezzling. That's the gist of the story. Louis is feeling under-appreciated again. It appears that the Heigel character is going to be a bulldozer. He is really unlikable and has no sense of humor. She is also a liar when it suits her purposes.

Yes

[fenixlerner · 9/10 · 19 July 2018]

Nicely done... I honestly didn't miss the two big stars that helped make this show interesting...Mike and Rachel. They wrote around them very well, and managed to put me on the hook for the season. Suits isn't for everyone, but the not overly complicated twists of S8 E1 play out smoothly enough from scene to scene to easily keep MY attention... I'd have liked a Jessica update...and the managing partner battle wasn't quite the fight it should have been (Harvey hasn't lost ((or conceded)) that quickly in any fight yet)...The season has opened on a great note.... Nicely done

You have to keep going!

[omarkhmuhammad · 7/10 · 19 July 2018]

The beauty of going 8 seasons far and still having killer lines is just undescribable. Since day one we had one-liners from Mike and Harvey that would leave our mouths open. Up until now, the thing that'll most likely keep you watching is the script and how Gabriel and Hoffman perform it. Yes, it has gotten dull and the storyline seems kind of boring, but you can't just leave these two men talking and not watch the show.

The new face

[oscarflash · 8/10 · 5 August 2018]

Katherine Heigl is a great deal. Hopefully we see more twisted plot.

Not a great start to the season...

[joepizzoaccounts · 5/10 · 20 July 2018]

Katherine Heigl? Ummmm, no!! I was hoping this was a one and done appearance, but no, not after revealing at the end she wants named partner status by the end of the year.

Overall? Weak. A few bright moments, but mostly weak. Even when Mike was in prison, there was enough from the character to keep the show interesting.

I Used to love it...

[mnsmb7 · 5 October 2019]

Katherine Heigl? What? No.... I love Suits and I can't believe they hired one of the only actors I can't stand. She thought she was too good for Grey's anatomy and left to try to star in big movies and quickly got a bad reputation for offscreen drama. She's a poor addition to the loss of Mike and Rachel

BRILLIANT ENTRY

[Essay-Kun · 9/10 · 4 July 2021]

Katherine Heigl , it's so damn good to see her entry.

Perfect !

She might not be Jessica but her character is different and she definitely rolled the dice and made an impact.

~ Sometimes you need to take a step back to enjoy what you do .

While Harvey might not be the managing partner anymore , He's a warrior and warriors are always on the battlefield .

PS : That new intro was much needed , about time we move on.

Just keeps getting worse

[CanadianBear · 5/10 · 20 July 2018]

I loved the pilot of this show and really enjoy the first few seasons, but it really has just been getting progressively worse. There's so much cheesy drama and predictable conversations in this episode. The show has definitely lost it's charm. I've watched every episode up until now, but I think I'll give it one more episode and, if nothing improves drastically, I'm done.

Heigl? Oh no :(

[zoltan-563-765262 · 4/10 · 22 August 2019]

Gone, the soul of the show is just gone. And Heigl? Seriously? Oh c'mon. This can't be mean seriously...

Not the same

[epedja88 · 4/10 · 19 July 2018]

Suits will never be the dame without Patrick and Magane. Gabriel and Patrick story and relation is what keep this show so popular. I guess this and maybe one more season then it will be canceled.

Bad cast

[brutalbull · 2/10 · 27 December 2018]

Katherine Heigl - awful. Bad acting and looks like was drinking few years

She'll of former self.

[adcrager · 4/10 · 20 July 2018]

I have loved this show from the start, and was looking forward to this new season. I was greatly disappointed. First, Katherine Heigl. Really?!? She is such a bad fit. She's trying hard to fit in, but failing badly. Don't understand what the producers were thinking, hiring her. The writing is the worst it's ever been. Are the writers new too? Macht & Rafferty seem to be having a hard time with the poor lines they are given. Leaving Donna to just being the "Wise woman" has made this character less believable. And where was the humor? Louise Litt was the only character who returned this season, same as he left last season. Please, please, please hire back the writers from seasons past. This crew will cause the show to be canceled.

Very weak start.

[ZinQ · 4/10 · 19 July 2018]

The writing that kicks off the 8th season was very weak. And Katherine Heigl? Hmmm. No.

Very weak start after a fantastic season 7

[francesco-64702 · 2/10 · 20 July 2018]

Thought in season 7 that it can't get better..sure the chemistry between Harvey and Mike is great. But also screenplay and story, Now the start seems very hart to find a new beginning.,Heigl as Miss super tough?! Must be kidding me..can't take the role serious..she certainly is no Jessica..hope the writers have some good ideas to change what's happening.. She has not the charisma, when she was in the ring I was laughing my ass off..and where is the humor gone, the quotes between Mike and Jarveyare missing..the other actors are a great fit..but the role heigel plays..doesn't fit at all. I have seen all the episodes several times. But I guess, if that's the new path..that's my last season..and probably also the series last season..

Katherine Heigl. Really?

[xlntjoy · 5/10 · 25 July 2018]

This WAS a top notch, entertaining, witty show but now with the addition of the lousy, forced acting of Katherine Heigl, I think I'm done. I was really looking forward to a new season without the Mike and Rachel story, finally. It was good but getting old. I was really disappointed with the first show of the season and Heigl's bad acting... She's just not believable in the part. Her last lawyer show flopped (bad acting). Also, stop making Dulé so crabby acting and looking so angry all the time. The rest of the cast is great Harvey, Louis are excellent. Was looking forward to Louis' rekindled relationship storyline, too.

Heigl...oof.

[MeatWagon911 · 1/10 · 9 February 2022]

Man...I love this show. Mike and Rachael leaving sucks. The rest of the episode was *okay*, You can definitely see some character growth, but the addition of Heigl is rough.

Fresh start? NEVER

[ricsi-91893 · 1/10 · 20 July 2018]

This show built on Mike and Harvey's relationship. Without Mike I don't care Harvey. It's like Dallas without Jr. Billions without Paul Giamatti. Absolutly trash, a peace of garbage.
