I'm currently half way through episode 7 of season 7 and I have to admit that I have just turned it off through complete boredom.
This show started SO well. The premise was interesting, the characters sharp and the comedy was brilliant. Donna was fabulous, Mike & Harvey slick and were the guys that got s**t done, Louis was the guy you loved to hate and Rachel & Jessica are beautiful, intelligent and strong female characters. The story-lines were interesting and on some level believable.
However, since Season 4 the writing is just repetitive and becoming more and more ridiculous. How many more times can Louis stamp his feet and scream at people he supposedly loves and respects before 'humbly' apologising and then saving the day with some random piece of evidence buried in a long forgotten by-law? How many things can Harvey blame his mother's affair for? How many times can Mike lie and get away with it, purely because he's got a quick mind? you get my meaning, it's just repeating the same story-line with different guest characters.
It's a real shame because there are very few TV shows I follow, I usually give up after a season or 2 and I felt invested in this one, I especially loved the Mike/Harvey bromance that developed but in all honesty...I cannot be bothered to keep watching, there's nothing holding my attention and I only got this far into 7 seasons because I didn't want to give in.
But I'm throwing in the towel, I am giving in.
