Suits: L.A.

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.

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...

The Pilot has its ups and downs. It feels rushed more than anything else. There are good bits, interesting parts even, but they are short lived as everything seems to be moving so quick. Even the dialogue felt rushed at times, hard to keep track of, which makes even the great jokes ( and there are some in there ) hard to enjoy because of the pacing. It just feels like the story that took place in the pilot should have been spread out into about three episodes or so.

The plot is good, and the characters have lots of potential, but something just felt off for the entire duration of the first episode. While I absolutely do not want to compare this to the original series, and I would understand the creators wanting to try new things, I have to say that this just did not have the "Suits" vibe.

If the next few episodes slow things down a bit maybe we can get accustomed to the novel style of the series. I really have faith in Aaron Korsh and the cast and I believe Suits LA can achieve even greater heights than Suits.

Can't wait for the next episode.

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.

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.
