It may be the worst show on television at this point.

Last episode my wife and both were rolling our eyes.

I will still PVR it, but it ain't "Must See TV"

Can Donna and Louis just have sex already.

The tension is palpable.

There's many characters that are beyond annoying right now but Donna takes the cake. Miss know it all, all she's achieved in life is being a secretary of successful men and being a single woman in New York. Not that there's anything wrong with either but still if she's so brilliant at least move up. At least Rachel is trying to become a lawyer.

You could have used it then.

But yes, it appears they are trying to swear without swearing.

Okay, all caught up to episode #6. First three? Hot soap opera poo. The last three really got going and into the cool legal eagle stuff I like. Sure the drama crap is still there but things have balanced out a fair bit IMO.

Yeah it's been a decent recovery the last couple episodes. Primary factor in this (for me) has been giving Meghan Markle something to do instead of just sobbing over Mike.

I just can't help but think that he isn't getting out, that there was a loophole or something will come up

Louis' new interest is a terribly boring character. Really hoping for another layer there, otherwise that whole thing seems like a waste of time

I think Donna wants to get Litt up. Lucky Lou is too busy chasing other tail.

Ugh, I really hope they don't go there. I know they've proclaimed love for each other but it's never been anything but platonic, and it should be kept that way.

I've always thought there's been subtle hints through the series of a possible Jessica/Harvey endgame, and likewise I hope not.

I was totally waiting for the shanking like mentioned above. I actually feel like this one of those times where they can just screw off with the twist and just for once let something happen without making it drama filled.

I think the whole Donna to the rescue is completely lazy writing... Without verifying, I'm guessing that one of the head writers left the show and that's why it's all soapy and lazy.

The first two seasons were really great but since then the show has just gone down hill into ridiculous soap opera territory. I find Jessica that most annoying, always telling Harvey he "better fix it" or "you find a way to win" right away he tells her there's nothing he can do. Then with Harvey going around threatening to fist fight everyone, it makes it very unbelievable why he hasn't been disbarred. For some unexplained reason we continue to PVR the show even though we usually end up FF the unbearable moments and yet, we can still follow exactly what's going on.

I think every single scene is an ultimatum in this show. It's like the writers aren't exactly sure how else to end a scene.

In fact, this may just be the worst written show I've ever seen myself. Overusing God damn, constant threats... I feel like Jessica has done the same speech / scene to X person 50 times. I'm not sure what her job is other than to cruise around threatening people and talk about how busy she is, when she doesn't do anything.

I'm pretty close to over this show. It's no longer funny or entertaining

That could've been the show finale right there.

Only thing they can waste their time on is more love stories. Move on, shut it down.
