When it was announced that Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams were leaving Suits, I was really bummed out because I truly loved their story line and wasn't ready to see the it end. I kept wondering how Aaron Korsh and the writers were going to come up with story lines to keep the viewers as invested as they were during the last seven seasons and adding Katherine Heigl to the cast didn't make me feel better. But, after seeing the eight season premiere, I have a different opinion about this new chapter and it's a good one.The season picks up right where we left off last season with Harvey and Robert Zane having a conversation after Mike and Rachel's wedding reception. They discuss the firm and the next steps to take concerning the Managing Partner position.
During the course of the episode, we're introduced to Heigl's character, -Badass-no-nonsense-lawyer-who-cleans-up-Zane's-mess- Samantha Wheeler and before the end of the episode, she succeeded in getting into Harvey's office without his permission and telling him to kiss her ass. Feisty right? I was a bit skeptical about Heigl but after seeing the episode, I think she's going to do a great job with her character. There's obviously going to be a lot of rivalry and drama in Specter Litt, sorry Zane Specter Litt and a lot of them are going to include Samantha. It's also very obvious that Robert and Harvey are going to butt heads a lot in the forthcoming episodes. We all know Harvey loves getting his way and with Zane as Managing Partner, that would be a serious problem. For some reason, I'm excited about Amanda Schull's promotion to series regular and I'm loving her new found friendship with Donna.
Heigl's Samantha is going to shake things up this season with Alex as her rival. They don't know it yet, but they're fighting for the same position of Name Partner. Kind of like Alicia Florrick and Cay Argos in the first season of The Good Wife. It's been seven seasons, I think it's time for Donna & Harvey's relationship to grow to something better. They kept teasing and teasing a relationship only to bring us back to where we started. Suits is one of those shows that I've never gotten tired of seeing. I'm still very invested but I'm hoping they wrap it up soon before they lose viewers and end up getting cancelled. I honestly enjoyed this season's premiere and I'm excited to see what's in store for these characters. A new episode of Suits airs Wednesday, July 25th.
