Fans have begun to question if Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) is in the right head space to handle complicated legal cases. There's been a stark change in his conduct ever since Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) took an exit.
While some believe it could be that he's now an evolved, mature man, who sees people for what they are and isn't the overly-dismissive person he used to be once. Others are of the opinion that Ross' departure has left a void that he hasn't been able to embrace as yet, therefore the awkwardness.
Some have noticed that Specter may be making efforts to forge a friendship with Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), which is refreshing given how their relationship (if you can call it that) has thrived only on snide remarks and jibes all these years.
So, is there a chance that Litt might replace Ross' place in Specter's life? Too soon to tell, but one could definitely expect a genuine bonding between Litt and Specter.
Reddit user aRkdtk wrote: "The characteristic differences is probably the character evolving, and a concious choice from the writers/producers. But I also think Gabriel Macht looks very tired in some of the new episodes. He lost a lot of weight in the last few seasons, he got older too."
In other news, the viewers are genuinely concerned about Donna Paulsen's (Sarah Rafferty) and Specter's future. They are often seen exchanging smiles and engaging in flirty banter, but that's where it ends for them. If they aren't going to happen, the tease should be left out.
Meanwhile, the show has been dealing with a dip in TRP ratings. But this isn't shocking really. Every time the show has returned, the ratings have witnessed a fall. The show began with a whopping 4.6 million viewers per episode, which has now gone below 2 million.
Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle) and Ross' characters added spark to the storyline and people would've loved to see them handle work and married life. And now, with them gone, there's not much happening. Let's hope Katherine Heigl's Samantha Wheeler brings to the table some spunk and spice.
