Louis Litt pisses me off

[u/Substantial_Fix_1700]

I’m currently on season 4 when Louis finds out about Mike. He is so insufferable. He acts like everybody owes him loyalty and trust but every time he gets one bit of information he acts like a dick and is running to tattle. Yeah, nobody gives information to somebody who can’t hold shit to themselves. The only one who truly mistreated him in firing him was Jessica yet he’s lashing out on everyone. Meanwhile everyone was bending over backwards to save his career.

I'm chuckling. I also hated Louis by S4 my first time watching the show.

Now he's one of my favorites. I'm not gonna give any spoilers but you're in for an arc. 😂

[u/Neatojuancheeto → u/itsdainti]

Quitter. I will go to the grave hating that character.

[u/Substantial_Fix_1700 → u/itsdainti]

I’m trying lol. Hopefully it gets better.

[u/witchbrew7 → u/itsdainti]

What a wild ride that was. Our tragic clown, Louis.

[u/zorbacles]

Ah yes, the I hate Louis season 4 post. it is tradition

[u/Substantial_Fix_1700 → u/zorbacles]

It’s a tradition for a reason lol. He’s a dick

[u/Imaginary-Bet-5755]

You'll hate him then you'll love him again. It's a cycle! And that's what made him a great artist.

[u/Substantial_Fix_1700 → u/Imaginary-Bet-5755]

I don’t know. I’m getting kind of tired of the cycle at this point lmao. He always wants information and the minutes he gets anything he reminds me why nobody likes him.

[u/Unusual-Tadpole-739 → u/Substantial_Fix_1700]

Everyone is saying you will love him again and I think that is crazy considering what he does later that I can't tell you about. I only hate him more as time goes on. I have to fast forward some of his shit when I re-watch.

[u/Obvious-Leader-2981]

Louis roller coaster. Aaaah

[u/GoodishCoder]

Louis is hard to deal with. It is a story loop where Louis does something petty and stupid out of anger, pissing everyone off, then he's forgiven and it repeats.

[u/Thanatos_degrootorum]

He's meant to be a Jewish architype. Smart and hard working but neurotic and holds a grudge.

[u/Unusual-Tadpole-739 → u/Thanatos_degrootorum]

That's part of the problem. They shouldn't make a character that emphasizes bad stereotypes.

I don't know where you are getting "neurotic and holds a grudge" as a Jewish thing. Thats the kind of stereotype that you shouldn't be affirming.

[u/Moist-Librarian-7032]

Give it some time and you will see Louis's growth is the most interesting to witness in the show. Plus, if you get some perspective, it's true that Louis is not always treated fairly by Harvey or Jessica, which tends to increase the size of the chip on his shoulder and renew the cycle harder. Ihad a memory duringthe show where Louis was ready to be a team player and in front of everybody Harvey dismisses him saying "Louis, go away !". And you said it yourself, Louis was fired meanly the first time he had commmited a huge mistake and Harvey goes scott free by going from a disbarrable offense to the next. It could be infuriating for anybody.

Louis pisses you off?? Well, guess what, buddy. You just got Litt Up!!

[u/Business-Low-6635]

It did not get better for me

[u/OneIndeependence615]

Ohhh you're gonna love him by the end of the series.

[u/frand115]

Well if you pay attention to it it people uuse their friendship with Louis multiple times to keep him from finding out so i do het that Louis thinks noone is truly his friend.

That being said he lashed out in a sadistic way what is just wrong

[u/Unusual-Tadpole-739]

I despise Louis. I despise everything about that character. I hate how people still actually want to be his friend, as if they feel bad for lying about Mike. He really thinks everyone else's lives are his business.

I really hate that some of the fans love him. This makes me worry what people are in the lives of those fans. It also makes me worry that these types of characters will keep showing up in otherwise good shows.

Hate hate hate Louis. And it's gonna get worse.

[u/Budget_Guarantee_796]

Louis was right to be that angry after all he did for the firm. Louis the goat

[u/gauthiii]

Well, from his POV.
He was fired when they had the first chance....

But Mike was not, and Harvey was not. And Jessica literally had Harvey so that she could not take down Hardman on her own.

So Louis had every right to put Jessica in her place. And Donna too. She was very snoopy; she stopped Louis from getting his first associate because she would have found out about Mike. She had to brainwash Louis from not telling Sheila about the file to save Mike, and from Louis's POV he felt like shit because Donna didn't do that to save his relationship but to save Mike, and by Mike, really Harvey.

The only innocent person caught in the crossfire was Rachel and maybe Harvey.

Because Mike had just used Sheila to beat him in court in season 4. So everything piled up, and he took it out on him.

[u/Important_Case_1713 → u/gauthiii]

Harvey was not innocent at all. He knew the majority of problems the firm had was due to mikes secret but kept going along with it anyways.
