Seems to be like Louis did exactly what was asked of him. Tanner talked about sexing with Jessica, and involved his mother, Louis talked about his love with Donna. Not sure why everyone's looking at him so judgementally
I think it's less that he was playing the bad guy, and more that he was clearly getting GENUINELY emotional over the question, attacking her beyond just "playing the bad guy".
@@JulianTrejosPorras I did have seen show before I remembere Louis going into Donna pant, he try for episodes and then gets frustrated to become managing partner but Timothy steals the position from him so he goes with Sheika to Boston
He did later admit that he felt sick doing that to Donna, to the point where when they ask him to do it again a couple of seasons later he flat out refuses until Donna gave him her explicit permission to go personal to prepare her By Louis’s own admission no one is a meaner lawyer when cornered than him
@@AverageLeagueHack kinda It’s quite clear Louis used this as an opportunity to get back a Harvey. He was helping Harvey but he was absolutely enjoying trying to make him look bad & everyone could tell.
@@sagelg Have you watched the show? right after this is a scene where Louis and Harvey fight and louis is furious at harvey for putting him in a situation where he had to do that.
Louis did exactly what Tanner would have done in the courtroom in front of actual jury. He hated every moment of it. He loved nailing Harvey to the wall but not at the expense of ppl he cared about. He was asked to be Tanner and he got the job done.
@@graddeos true. My point was more that Louis did this stuff & then wondered why Harvey (or anyone for that matter) didn’t like what he did. Louis used to make things very personal. Tanner would make things personal but also kept things “semi professional “.
i hate how they did not take the opportunity to go through the trial, i feel like the best season was season 3, as it spent one half focusing on the trial, and the other half of the season on little cases and personal drama. Season 1 is an exception though of course
I liked it because it really emphasized the twist, like we build up Tanner to be this ultimate villain all season long, and then it's revealed that Daniel was manipulating everything the entire time. But it is true that comes with the opportunity cost and disappointment of not having the trial you built up to. It's a risk but I think Daniel is a strong enough villain that it did manage to pay off.
10:56 that was none of Louis' problem. Donna and Harvey had a stronger working relationship that made it appear like they in love with each other, it's just chemistry. But then again Louis was playing 'the man' and that's probably what Travis Tanner would have done in a real trial hence the choice of Louis to play Tanner in the mock trial.
It was brutal but Louis just wants to prove why Donna would do anything Harvey asked. Because there were many who believed there was more than a working relationship between them: Malik, Alison Holt, Hardman, Gibbs...
I don't watch the show but Harvey definitely got charged with assault and sued by Tanner right? I mean he punched a lawyer right in the face in a law office. Like how dumb can you get?
Lol and if he was charged he would have gotten a slap on the wrist because all the judge has to do is read the transcript to know that Harvey was provoked.
Every clip I’ve seen of hardman he seems like a decent reasonable man, other than that spite thing he had with Harvey and cheating on his dying wife, he seems like a not so bad guy
He's Louis without the heart of gold. Everything Louis has ever done to promote himself, everything Louis ever did to make everyone see him as top of the food chain, all of the manipulations Louis did behind the scenes, Hardman is exponentially worse. He's the one who promoted Louis to senior partner over Harvey when he put them up against each other and promoted Louis when he showed that he's willing to follow the orders of the Top Man, who Hardman saw himself as, over loyalties to their clients. Combined with how he gaslit himself as a victim or unbiased party while smearing those he saw as potential threats despite their personal motives. All in all, he's a snake who is willing to sell out his own mother if it gets him ahead.
They type everything. There is opportunity to edit later on. Lawyers try to make those on the stand look dumb. Both sides do it. It is about convincing the jury.
Stenographers are like rapporteurs who keep a verbatim record of court proceedings for future references; in case anybody doubted what a person in court (or in this case during deposition) that would be read to the doubter.
He essentially sexually harassed Harvey and his boss. It wouldn't be legal anywhere, much less a deposition. Suits is very inaccurate so you should watch it knowing nothing that happens in the show is applicable in real life.
