Does anyone else feel like Suits kinda sucks, but you need to finish it?

Season one of Suits pulled me in. I’m an attorney who used to work as an associate at a V10 white-shoe law firm (they even mentioned the name of my old firm a few times on the show), so I found it interesting that someone made a show about big law.

The later seasons have been decent, but I know there are plenty of better shows I could be watching.

I’m in season 8, and it’s pretty much a soap opera now. Every once in a while, a plot will pop up that’s somewhat interesting, but far more often it’s the same rehashed storyline, with the same quips, same locations, and same characters. That said, I can’t seem to stop watching and feel like I need to make it to the end of season 9.

I’ve mentioned this to other attorneys, and they’ve had similar experiences. The majority of Suits wasn’t that great of a show, but for some reason, they couldn’t bring themselves to stop watching.

I’ve never really had a show that I didn’t care for hold me hostage like this. I can usually just stop watching, but Suits is different for some reason.

Anyone else feel the same way?
