Ideally, the franchise’s return would be via aSuitsfollow-up, but instead, Korsh is launching an offshoot.
There’s anobvious attempt to check that thatSuits LAis not just a rehash of its parent show.
BecauseSuits LAkicks off in absolute mayhem, it barely gets the chance to be fun.
Even the banter that Korsh did so well inSuitsis almost non-existent.
Sadly, that stretch of storytelling isn’t anyone’s favorite.
While theSuitscastgrew to have their respective storylines, it started with its focus on bringing together Harvey and Mike.
It doesn’t help thatSuits LAelects to incorporate confusing flashbacks that distract from an already complicated present timeline.
One key aspect thatSuits LAhas the potential to do better than its predecessor is its weekly cases.
Viewers are more likely familiar with Hollywood as opposed to the world of mergers and acquisitions.
Suits LA follows Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor who now represents influential clients in Los Angeles. As his law firm faces a critical juncture, Ted must navigate the challenges of a role he once disdained, balancing moral dilemmas with the demands of high-stakes legal battles.
There have already been several references to pop culture.
If done right,Suits LA’s weekly cases can be more fun and entertaining than whatSuitstackled.
Suits LA will stream on Peacock after its broadcast on NBC.
Because it is part of a franchise,Suits LAcannot escape the comparisons toSuits.
Hopefully it can course correct as it settles into its storytelling.
Suits LAairs weekly each Sunday at 9:00 PM ET on NBC.
