Suits: L.A.

The great thing about suits is right off the bat you get invested in these two men's lives. They let you in on a secret and we gotta keep it with them. The characters are built slowly and evenly throughout the show giving us their backstory through multiple episodes over the decade long run. We rooted for the characters from the word go. What about suits La is making me like the characters? Nothing. There is no banter, no fun, no quirky ness, no chemistry. Ted isn't as charismatic and there is no protege we care about. I dunno man it's a completely different show. It's a law show sure. But it's not SUITS. There is literally NOTHING in common between these two shows. If I was to was ncis and ncis la there are differences but the core is the same. FBI and fbi international, csi and csi Miami. The core is the same but not here. They just aren't the same. And you know what? Not loving it. I'll keep watching to give it a fair shot. But ya this is the worse spin off show I've watched. Couldn't they have at least picked one of the lawyers we already met? Scottie for example?

I watched the original Suits. I decided to be open minded about Suits LA...in fact 30minutes into the pilot I needed to change the channel. Oh honestly it had nothing to do with comparing the shows then and now. Suits LA is boring and disappointing. I like Stephen Amel but his character in this series doesn't work. He is annoying...sorry!! The rest of the cast and their characters...well let's just say are weak.

Now if I were to compare this Suits LA to the original Suits. I would be happier watching the reruns. I know I sound harsh but I was so excited for the series and I just feel so disappointed.

Seems like they dropped 15 characters into the proverbial glass law office, and said, "Go!" Things and people jumped around so fast you can't get attached. And I don't like the show if I can't connect with the primary characters. Taylor Sheridan knows how it's done. While they are attempts at cute banter, it's over played. Alice Lea (Leah) over acts, Josh McDermott needs to dump the beard and someone should buy Steven Arielle a suit, even in L. A. and for those looking for a link back to the "real" Suits, nothing but the music. Makes me wish even one or 2 old characters had moved out to LA so you wold have something to hold on to.

So they've opened a can of (very, very) beautiful women, gave the Green Arrow a lawyer degree and that Stuart character the most hideous beard in beard history but then forgot to write a descent storyline that would create the same kinda magic the original version of the show did? I'm not comparing it with Suits but if it carries the name at least it should remind to its big brother/sister... It also lacks chemistry between the characters...

And pls, Stuart, pls shave that ugly thing you call a beard off... or don't glue it back on the next shootingday... You look like Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell in a school play...

Suits LA had the potential to build upon the legacy of Suits, but unfortunately, it struggles due to its rushed storytelling and lack of proper character development. From the very first episode, the show moves at an unnecessarily fast pace, failing to give audiences a chance to connect with the new characters or understand their backgrounds.

Unlike Suits, where characters were introduced gradually, allowing viewers to relate to their motivations, Suits LA throws a completely new set of characters into a new setting without any proper buildup. The audience is left wondering about their personalities, work ethics, and relationships. This rapid storytelling makes it difficult to feel invested in the plot.

If the show slows down and allows its characters to develop organically, it might stand a chance. Otherwise, it risks losing the charm that made the original series so popular.
