There was a TV show called Suits LA that tried to follow in the footsteps of the original Suits but failed in almost every way. Suits LA just couldn’t live up to the high standards set by its predecessor. The stories were dull and the characters were boring. And now that we look back, ending it after only one season might have been the smartest thing American TV has done in years.
The Legacy of the Original Suits
When you call a show “Suits,” people have very high hopes for it. With its sharp wit, interesting courtroom drama, and memorable characters like Harvey Spectre and Mike Ross, the first season became a cultural phenomenon. Fans of the show missed the show’s charisma, fast-paced dialogue, and real stakes, which Suits LA only brought to light.
An forgettable cast and forgettable plots
Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor who can’t get over his bad past, is at the centre of Suits LA. A lot of the show’s plots and flashbacks are tired and don’t add anything new. Supporting characters like Erica Rollins (Lex Scott Davis) and Rick (Bryan Greenberg) try to save the ship that is sinking but don’t have much to work with. People who watched the original Suits and are used to the show’s sharp writing never really get interested in its attempts at office politics and legal drama.
Instead of substance, style
Yes, everyone in Suits LA does look great. The actors are ready for the camera, the suits are sharp, and the offices are fancy. But style by itself isn’t enough to carry a show. Even though the wardrobe department did a great job, the weak stories and slow-moving plots can’t be hidden by fashion.
The attempt to joke around that doesn’t work
One of the most disappointing things about Suits LA is that it can’t copy the show’s trademark banter. Suits was great for its quick-witted banter and legal savvy. Suits LA, on the other hand, has dull conversations that lack rhythm and charm. Every aside and joke seems forced and half-baked.
It’s not possible for guest stars to save the show.
That’s true even when famous people like the late John Amos and Brian Baumgartner show up. Suits LA never really gets going. The guest roles don’t really add anything to the story; they just feel like desperate distractions.
Cancelling Suits LA wasn’t just a kind thing to do; it had to be done. This decision gives us hope that networks still know when something doesn’t work in a world where a lot of mediocre spin-offs get renewed. Suits LA ends quietly instead of dragging on, which gives the franchise a chance to keep its legacy alive. This should serve as a reminder that just having a well-known brand isn’t enough to make great TV. It still needs great writing, acting, and original ideas.
