15. Rachel’s Sudden Rise to Associate

Rachel Zane’s rapid transition from paralegal to associate feels rushed and unrealistic. In reality, this would require years of law school, passing the bar exam, and building experience. The storyline skips over these critical steps, portraying her promotion as more of a narrative convenience than a reflection of real legal career progression. While it’s satisfying to see her achieve her dreams, a more gradual approach would have added depth to her character arc and made her success feel earned, rather than handed to her for dramatic purposes.
