This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]356579[/split]
Even the best lawyer in New York City can use some help.
While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory.
Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law. And while Harvey may seem like an emotionless, cold-blooded shark, Mike's sympathy and concern for their cases and clients will help remind Harvey why he went into law in the first place. Mike's other allies in the office include the firm's best paralegal Rachel (Meghan Markle) and Harvey's no-nonsense assistant Donna (Sarah Rafferty) to help him serve justice.
Proving to be an irrepressible duo and invaluable to the practice, Mike and Harvey must keep their secret from everyone including managing partner Jessica (Gina Torres) and Harvey's arch nemesis Louis (Rick Hoffman), who seems intent on making Mike's life as difficult as possible.
it's refreshing that Mike's fraud is back being the center of attention and that he is on the verge of being exposed.
of course, if that happens, then the show is kind of over and I don't see how they can do another full season.
that's why, I know they are going to get Mike out of this somehow and unfortunately it will go back to being status quo.
Not sure if they can ever go back to status quo believably. In reality, even if he gets off somehow, their firm's reputation has been irreparably damaged.
This would have been a fantastic endrun for the show though.
the ultimate irony of this all is that although the prosecutor lady is dirty, she's technically right. Mike is a fraud lawyer and the whole firm has been tainted because the senior partners knew about the fraud, condoned it, and facilitated it.
so, from a pure justice point of view, you kind of want to see the prosecutor succeed and bring Mike and the firm down.
This.
Its kinda hard to root for Mike and co when you know what they are doing is wrong.My guess is the only way they can gain the upper hand and possibly have the case dismissed is if they catch her in a desperate act doing something illegal to help win her case.
^^ yeah, that's how I see it playing out.
unless they do some kind of finale swerve......lol.
and if Mike takes the deal, I get the feeling that they'll later learn the Jury would have acquitted him.
I wonder which deal Mike is going to take. Probably not the one that turns in the rest of his friends.
But he still chooses to do this even after the talk he had with Rachel, just because of that case he took on where the man made a deal?
If Mike turns himself in and goes to prison, he's not going to be able to practise law ever again. And it's not like Pearson Specter Litt are going to be able to continue to thrive after this, because it would definitely suggest that Mike is indeed guilty.
And if he can't practise law, then how can the series really continue? Are they just going to show his adventures doing something other than law? He tried that before at that other firm. Now he's not even going to be able to do that.
And he didn't actually manage to accomplish what he wanted to do with client he took on for his one last case.
