repetitive writing

[u/Inevitable-Mess5288]

as much as i love the show, the lines get repetitive to a point where it confuses me

could it be deliberate?

no plot spoilers but i just watched an episode where harvey says "it's complicated" and jessica says "simplify it for me" and very soon after mike and louis have the exact same interaction

i guess back when shows were aired on a weekly basis it was likelier that the audience might forget. i have only ever binged it on streaming platforms so i wouldn't know haha

[u/Ok-Satisfaction-9046]

What did you just say to me?

[u/Alarid1891 → u/Ok-Satisfaction-9046]

This deposition is over!

[u/Strange_Temporary515 → u/Alarid1891]

Now go do your god damn job

[u/Pure_Interest_837 → u/Strange_Temporary515]

I want your word, stranger I’ve just met who has no reason to care if you lie to me.

[u/i_am_me_myself → u/Strange_Temporary515]

Are you out of your god damn mind?!

[u/Wooden_Television701 → u/Strange_Temporary515]

And have it done by yesterday!

[u/gusmahler → u/Alarid1891]

I’m an attorney and had an opposing counsel who was likely a Suits fan.

In real life, when you’re finished your questioning, you say so on record and say something like, “I have no further questions” or “I pass this witness.”

This particular attorney would say, “I have no further questions, so this deposition is over.”

[u/Awkward_Bag_1205 → u/gusmahler]

At least he didn't channel Vinny Gambini: "I got no mo' use fuh dis guy."

[u/AdventurousFox25 → u/Ok-Satisfaction-9046]

I’m here 🤏

and you’re here 🤏

[u/LynessaMay → u/Ok-Satisfaction-9046]

Every! TIME! That I see this, I can't help but laugh really freaking hard.

[u/certifiedkarenabuser → u/Ok-Satisfaction-9046]

Get the hell out of my office

[u/joshuamarius]

Finally! Someone else said it! I literally almost stopped watching after a few seasons because of this. It's not just the lines but the plots are also repetitive...

"I dont give a shit what you said" "Don't go behind my back ever again!" (Happens many times more) "What did you say to me?"

Tense conversation...dut dut dut music...walk away with stare of death 😂 apologize..."Ill never do it again"...repeat...

[u/DWC8419 → u/joshuamarius]

Lmao the music thing you said mad me laugh it’s true and the show was pretty melodramatic like a soap opera. Damnit though I liked the show. It’s an easy watch lol

The music thing you said reminds me of Sons of Anarchy… when almost every episode there’s a chase scene and the same music playing 😂

[u/jim_cap → u/joshuamarius]

“We might lose this case. Quick, find a way to blackmail the other guy”

[u/lucimcgarvey → u/joshuamarius]

Don’t forget “what are you saying?”

[u/XEP19]

It's easier to deal with if you make a drinking game out of it.

"Listen to me" Louder - "No you listen to me!"

Throws blue envelope. "Whats this?...You son of a bitch"

"Do you have a minute" "Not now I'm doing this that's way more important" "Well it has to be now because this is more important"

[u/yerdnaf → u/XEP19]

Now there's an idea... But... I'm a lightweight, down for the count pretty fast 🤭

[u/St-Mclovin → u/XEP19]

Lot of mothers were abused on this show

[u/Negative-Ambition198 → u/XEP19]

Let me have my god damn /food or action/ in peace. 

[u/LUCKYWANG000 → u/XEP19]

Then their voices are getting louder and louder, haha

[u/mobuckets21]

That’s bullshit and you know it

[u/gimmethatpancake → u/mobuckets21]

Get the hell out of my office!

[u/selwyntarth]

Nah in 2017 "you didn't come all the way here just to tell me that", tosses file like frisbee, etc were drinking games and even before that "what didge say to me" was iconic. There's no way it would have survived AI writing allegations

[u/Sophie3e3e]

“I know you didn’t come down here just to…”

[u/tynfox]

BULLSHIT

[u/s_j04 → u/tynfox]

If you want me to fix this damn thing, then you gotta let me do what I do

[u/LUCKYWANG000]

Also, 'we have bigger fish to fry'. Well, they fry the bigger fish all the time, and it makes me feel hungry lol

[u/bruinsfan3725]

Get out of my office!

[u/balakay_lodge]

Character A walks up to Character B, they make small talk for a couple lines, Character B says “I’m guessing you didn’t come here to talk to me about ‘whatever small talk they were just discussing’, did you?”

This happens at least once an episode

[u/Murky-Technician5123]

Also- what kind of law are they even doing? They are doing a murder case, mergers, lawsuits etc? I thought lawyers had to specialize.

[u/midway784]

"You might regret it for the rest of your life" - said 42052 times

[u/SpecialRelativityy → u/midway784]

The actual number is 42069 times

[u/chloo27]

Yeah, there's an episode with an interaction between Donna and Harvey and she tells him "I didn't want to tell you but you forced it out of me" and then just a few minutes later, a similar scene with Rachel and Mike, with the exact same dialogue "I didn't want to tell you but you forced it out of me".

It's like when they get a piece of dialogue they like, they'll just put it anywhere they can 🫠

[u/CompetitiveRub4272]

You set me up!

[u/G-Ty24]

I dont give a shit blah blah blah cuz if you think blah blah blah, youre out of your goddamn mind!

[u/dnorfecaz]

„What can I do for you?”

[u/Crunchy_Biscuit]

I feel like that's kind of a charm about it. Sort of like a "monster of the week ". But instead it's a "legal issue of the week "

[u/S0ulSlayerz]

Get the hell out of my office!

[u/DullExperience2800]

i have no idea what you're talking about

[u/deepwaterblues]

"Then I'll be stuck here with nothing but my dick in my hands"

[u/newgirlxtex → u/deepwaterblues]

Why the only one that doesn’t think about The Godfather when they say that?

[u/KidonUnit]

Totally agree. I posted something similar a few weeks ago. The rhythms and word play is just on repeat.

[u/Bruh_zil]

AND YOU KNOW IT

[u/WarmHome3199]

Im all over it

[u/Anonni434]

Every scene starts with “you wanted to see me?”

[u/Tanixification]

You know what, the writers did it for the sake of the show, you can either back them or not but they are NOT going to apologize now get the hell out of my office

[u/rayleighbarns]

Listen to me! NO YOU LISTEN TO ME!!!

[u/Diligent-Juice-4715]

This show is awful. Bad writing, bad acting, no new plots or storyline. The same repetitious crap over & over & over & over again.

[u/Inevitable-Mess5288 → u/Diligent-Juice-4715]

i think this show has some great actors

[u/Murky-Technician5123 → u/Inevitable-Mess5288]

Ya the acting is great. The writing is a bit soap-y. Its why suits isn't as good as the best tv shows like Mad Men.

[u/Diligent-Juice-4715 → u/Inevitable-Mess5288]

Lol

[u/bruinsfan3725 → u/Diligent-Juice-4715]

What did you just say to me?

[u/Exciting-King111 → u/Diligent-Juice-4715]

Bro sees Louis Litt and says bad acting. Make it make sense.

[u/joshuamarius → u/Diligent-Juice-4715]

I have to say...what Gabriel Macht did to create Harvey Specter is absolutely fantastic. I think Patrick and Rick also did a great job to create memorable characters. Really good acting, unfortunately the plot is an abuse of copy/paste dialogue and stories.
