Summary
Suits’ final two seasons are widely considered the show’s worst, but there is one thing that the series did better after the exits of Mike Ross and Rachel Zane from the story.Mike and Rachel’s marriage was a turning point forSuits, after which the show had to essentially start over without three of its main characters. Without Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle, and Gina Torres,Suitsbecame a very different show that often struggled to find its new tone.Suitsseason 8 introduced new characters and brought a different dynamic into thefirm now called Zane Specter Litt.
It can be argued that Mike and Rachel’s marriage should have beenSuits’ finale. Apart from a couple of storylines, especiallyHarvey and Donna’s relationship, there was not much left forSuitsto do with its main characters. This is why seasons 8 and 9 were not as well received as the other seven, not to mention how the absences of Jessica, Mike, and Rachel completely changed the dynamic of the show. As flawed asSuits’ final two seasonswere, they did one thing surprisingly better than the show’s first seasons.
