Summary

Suitsseason 9 smash my best-loved character , and that ’s really unsatisfying . Aaron Korsh ’s legal drama found a new generation of fans when it arrived on Netflix in the summer of 2023 . There have been so many discussions about the cause behindSuits ' streaming dominationfour age after its original run on the USA web wrapped up . Long before this belated fanfare for Harvey Specter and the residual of his cohort at Pearson , Hardman , I was already a bighearted fan of the show . I followed it almost hebdomadary during its original broadcast , and even got myself DVD of the serial publication .

Despite my tenacious - sentence beloved for the show , I was still surprised by its achiever when it landed on Netflix . Naturally , it also compel me to do a rewatch of the whole series , let in its last time of year , which was just recently added to the aforementioned streaming service . Several years get rid of from the drama ’s initial run on USA internet , I have formed new opinions about it , not to observe interrogative aboutKorsh ’s next elaboration show — Suits LA . More than anything , however , I ’m discomfited with the waySuitsseason 9 address my favorite fibre from the series .

Donna Was Underutilized In Suits Season 9

Suits Season 9 Could Have Used Donna Better To Fight Faye Richardson

WhileSuitsseason 9 saw almost every original fiber doing better , I can not say the same for Sarah Rafferty ’s Donna Paulsen . The show started with her being Harvey ’s sure and competent writing table . Despite her ranking at the law business firm , Donna was never do by as someone beneath the attorney at the organization . I fully believe that Harvey was n’t move to be as effective if it was n’t for her . As she deserved , she was raise as the company ’s COO . But despite her high rank , which meant more magnate to make moves , she was seriously underutilized inSuitsseason 9 .

Even though she was n’t a attorney , Donna was smart , efficient , and ingenious , but none of those lineament truly beam in the final 10 episodes of the legal show .

or else , Donna was reduced to barely doing anything as Harvey and Louis Litt fought Faye Richardson . The majority of her use inSuitsseason 9 rotate around give menace that never really materialized and arrangingsecret meet - ups for Harvey and Mike . Even though she was n’t a lawyer , Donna was smart , efficient , and clever , but none of those qualities truly shone in the last 10 episode of the legal show . Granted that she was able to recuperate Harvey ’s house painting from Elliot Stemple , but in the grand scheme of things , she was almost useless during Pearson , Hardman ’s last ordeal .

Why Underutilizing Donna Taints Suits' Legacy

Suits Was So Great At Writing Compelling Female Characters

Much has been said about Harvey and Mike being the backbone of the project . However , one of the more overlooked accomplishment ofSuitswas its distaff persona . Korsh did an amazing job writing endow but not stereotyped women , especially at the start of the series . Jessica Pearson , Rachel Zane , and Donna were fleshed - out role who were equally interestingas their male counterparts . At theend ofSuits , Donna was the only original female character in the show , so I was expect that the serial publication would give her more to do . Little did I know that I was going to be disappointed .
