This show feels oddly familiar, like something I've seen before that started with promise but quickly lost its appeal. Unfortunately, I just don't feel invested in it.
The original Suits had a unique charm, drawing us in with its engaging hooks. This series, however, misses the mark completely. The casting feels off, and where's the wit and charm? It's hard to find any here. The characters come off as cold and superficial, and while the acting is passable and the story could be interesting, there's no emotional connection to keep me watching. It feels like the only reason people are tuning in is because they're hoping for a Suits-like experience, but it's clear that something crucial is missing.
Honestly, if you're not going to capture the essence of Suits, maybe it's time to rethink the title. Change it to something more fitting, like Attorneys in LA or LA Legal-but don't call it Suits. That show had a magnetic quality that this one just doesn't replicate. I'll always love the original, and I hoped this series could bring something fresh to the table, but that's just not happening here.
This series seems destined for mediocrity, a short-lived run that will fade into obscurity.
I wish I had better news I LOVE the show Suits always will and only wish some new version of that same dynamic could make its way into my next favorite series.
I believe the formula for a successful show often includes a compelling hook, and one of the best examples of this was the character who could remember everything they ever read-pure genius. A concept like this would've done wonders for this series.
The lead character, exuding a level of masculinity that borders on toxic, was a perfect fit for the show's dynamic. What truly brought the show to life, though, was the redheaded assistant-so intelligent, she could easily run the entire operation. Her chemistry with the lead character was electric, adding depth to their interactions.
Then, there's the wildcard attorney-eccentric, with a love for mud baths and an oddball personality. Though he could be fiery, he had a charming, lovable side that balanced out his quirks. The "princess" character was another standout, offering more than just beauty-her potential for unexpected twists made her fascinating from the very start.
The writing was sharp and witty, with fast-paced editing that kept the energy high.
But Suits LA , Unfortunately, despite many of the right elements, the show just doesn't quite hit the mark. It feels like another series that will fade into obscurity. As a viewer, I can't help but think, "This should be better," but for now, I'll have to switch it off.

Did not expect much when I first started watching but I was instantly a fan. The story is deep and wide but does not lose you and the details are interesting the vistas are amazing. If you are a fan of westerns it will help but definitely not needed for the drama of the story to scratch the itch and if you have a sense of humor there are some great moments for you. Where I find the next level quality of the story is generating emotive scenes without creating a soap opera effect or dumbing the story down. The story retains a high level of integrity at all times. I like that. I have really enjoyed the series enough that I feel like I could watch it over and over. There are only a rare exception here and there like that for me the one other I can think of was Game of thrones which I also achieved that same level of Oh wow moments and story integrity. If you have not seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch this series it is a keeper! Congratulations to everyone involved you hit a home run!
Do not waste your time I hated this from beginning to end and I LOVE McAVOY! I think he is an amazing actor this however will be looked back upon as his worst role ever for the fact that it is in such a dull boring waste of time. The word movie should not be used here this is not worthy of that word.
So this thing was just time you will wish you had back.
Seriously cannot pretend that I liked this trash or found anything entertaining or interesting. How can anyone sit focused on anything this bad for the amount of time this was. I was painful. Do not do it. So many better options I suggest any of those over this. Just remember you have been warned it IS this bad.
