She went on and on throughout the season about doing everything to help Harvey but the truth is she destroyed that memo because she didn't want to admit that she made a mistake
godot I’m going to write a column about how terrible her character is. She’s so annoying and she thinks she’s smarter than she is. She also attained so many things she did not deserve and immediately acted like she earned it. I remember her yelling at Harvey when he said he put her in her position, but she said the same thing to Louis the next season.
@@moealhakani7005 I mean, didn’t Donna told Louis that Louis needs to be managing partner or something because of Alex and Samantha? Idk, I don’t remember...
What makes Donna "smart" in this show is that she knows every person in the firm, is spontaneous and has conversations with them on a personal level. People skills - the intimacy the lawyers don't care about. But when it came to the real world, yeah, she's "just a secretary".
And precisely these qualities of knowing and understanding people, of knowing what motivates them both personally and professionally, make her suitable to deal with HR in the company.
She’s overly emotional, bossy, inserts herself into situations that are absolutely none of her business, thinks she knows way more than she does, is rude and disrespectful to her bosses, and is unethical. They made her unrealistic and unlikeable. She’s just like Harvey in many ways
6:25 **"I wanted to protect you"** Line said Everytime some one is guilty (herself /himself ) Best reply :- Lieing to me doesn't protect me , it betrays me .
It's funny cuz at 5:00 Jessica already realized what was going on without Mike even having to say a word. Her poker face is astounding, amazing actress, show wasn't the same without her.
At the very least she noticed Mike was uncomfortable about something. She probably also figured that Mike stopped it on purpose and played along because she know Mike will tell tell Harvey when they are alone and she trust Harvey to deal with whatever happened accordingly
This is a perfect example of why the show eventually went off air. Donna becoming COO was the most jump-the-shark moment. This, along with breaching attorney privilege with Kessler and illegally obtaining the Liberty Rail report for Mike are just three clear examples of absolutely poor self judgment, putting the firm at risk.
My only question after watching this show 4 times in its entirety is did Harvey ever get a new dentist? I lose sleep over this question. I NEED ANSWERS
They try to excuse Donna for her actions by saying the document wasn't real, but Donna should never work in a law firm again if she destroyed a document that, at the time, she thought was real. It's annoying how no one ever called her on this.
As confident as Donna acts, she falters, she doesn't take the heat well when it counts, she faltered when Louis found out the truth about mike's secret, in the episode with the key. She faltered at Mike's trial on the stand. She was weak.
I think it's just when her character is put into question. She has so much confidence (too much imo) but whenever someone show her her flaws or the things she is doing wrong she cracks almost immidiately.
@@effy8774 yes everyone makes mistakes. But the problem with her is she never seem to admit hers and constantly act like she's always right. She pretty much destroyed the memo because she couldn't accept her mistake and take accountability for it, not because she wanted to protect Harvey. Not to mention she crumbled when Anita Gibbs questioned her on the stand. The best part is that in a later episode of that same season she could still say how she would willingly break the law for Mike or Harvey haha.
She’s overly emotional, bossy, inserts herself into situations that are absolutely none of her business, thinks she knows way more than she does, is rude and disrespectful to her bosses, and is unethical. They made her unrealistic and unlikeable.
Such a sad moment for Donna. This was a defining moment to follow through with the trust between her and Harvey. Smh But instead, she panicked and the anxiety got the better of her. I know what that's like and I feel for her. And I'm further impressed with Harvey for how he handled it even in the argument.
In this show Mike and Jessica are playing chess. Louis is trying to get in on the chess match but whenever he gets a move he always risks the king. Mike is learning to play chess while everyone else in the firm is pretty much playing checkers.

Love Harvey in that bathroom sequence. Incredible actor! All Donna had to do was be honest with Harvey. I see why Jessica did what she did too. She technically is the leader of the firm and she did what she thought was best.
I agree and I am also gonna add when Harvey comes into the room Louis/Mike almost feels irrelevant as well! See nothing against women, just simple facts.
Yeah donna maybe dont keep things from the guy who knows how to legally get around things. Keepimg things from your secretary is not equal to keeping things from your boss who is also a lawyer.
he wasn't know it all and smartest till season 3 ...in s04 he suddenly became smartest of all either harvey or jessica .. 😂 And they dumped harvey's character thereafter.
Yeah I always thought the same thing. I guess they made it seem as if he never thought Donna would destroy it, which doesn’t seem all that wrong of an assumption overall but still not telling her to just give the document and help Harvey seems weird.
I really hate how people use these scenarios to say that Donna’s character is bad. Maybe she thinks she is smart when she isn’t and maybe she makes lots of mistakes that shouldn’t allow her to work in law, but saying that this makes her character bad or annoying means that you look for every little detail to discredit the show of its amazing story telling and most importantly, Characters. It’s so funny to me that people act like they aren’t as human as she is and don’t think highly of themselves or would never make bad decisions like that.
Its amazing how donna is entitiled. She does something based on her own will and her personal knowledge without asking top tier lawyers and justifies it by saying that "i did that to protect you" She demands a job which she isn't suited for just because she is has a in with the managing partner and is at the firm for years. second most dislikeable character after Mike/Racheal.
It was a memo proving that a car had a faulty production and hence its company was guilty for a man's death due to it. Harvey didn't have it when it went to trial and got them aquitted. But tanner went to the victim's family and re opened this case claiming a memo exists and that Harvey buried it on the grounds of the revelations about Cameron and his habit of burying evidence when they worked together
Show is dope how the acting is awesome the plots are interesting the end result is interesting what's going to happen what's the twist always has you thinking what's next that's awesome
@Saurav Narresh Donna had no degree, she moved into the. COO position when the company was known for hiring elite college applicants. Her rise to that position was listening in on conversations and gossip!. The wigs/hair pieces were horrid. She was an average looking woman Harvey dated well kept confident attractive women and Donna was the goal? Nawl, harsh but true sorry.
I don't get why people say someone is overrated I mean people like a character because this person is somehow likeable for the watchers. And if Donna is so hyped I don't get it it's just naturally and u can't actually decide if someone is overrated.i mean. U can say that u don't get why people like her but overrated is just wrong cause it would mean that it's wrong that people like somebody.
@@glogler She's a secretary, you don't need an explanation because that is a position at nearly every company. Keeping your secretary as you move jobs is also very common in real life, because you get used to the flow they provide. I'ts not about love.
I don’t appreciate all the hate Donna gets. She’s amazing at her job, they wrote her to be someone able to read people and she does it well. And she doesn’t think she’s smart, she is. Yes she may be out of her league sometimes but that comes when you work with top tier lawyers and haven’t been to law school. All the Donna haters need to pay more attention to the show.

You can tell Donna is so nervous during the deposition, she’s overplaying the Donna confidence

HAAHAHAHAH DUDE ... DONNA KEBAB 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
loooooooool
Whats her name?
😂😂😂
Whats the Donna kebab? It sounds funny but I dont get the reference😂
That "Oh, what did you do?" from Harvey was so desperate I almost felt bad for both of them.
Donna always thought she was so much smarter than she actually was
So true, after rewatching the series you realize how many dumb decisions shes made
she admires Harvey so much she wants to act like him but she just isn’t

“Emancipation.” “From him?”
What a cheeky little snipe from Jessica. Got a laugh out of me.
Louis comment that he will give the cat to Michael Vick was hilarious

She really accused her boss of keeping things from her. What a victim card lol

4:45 this is interesting.
she cares about harvey so much but she also knows when she needs to put herself first
What are u saying?
She nearly destroyed him and herself with that evidence destroying
She’s nearly destroyed his career multiple times
Yeah, and that makes her selfish.
Actually saw the ink on his tongue, now that's dedication 😉
we miss the série Suit
Oh this is what Casey Novak does when she isn’t working with the dedicated detectives of the special victims unit- *dun dun*

It was a memo proving that a car had a faulty production and hence its company was guilty for a man's death due to it. Harvey didn't have it when it went to trial and got them aquitted. But tanner went to the victim's family and re opened this case claiming a memo exists and that Harvey buried it on the grounds of the revelations about Cameron and his habit of burying evidence when they worked together
