Suits; LA Premieres with Mixed Reviews
The highly anticipated spinoff of the hit legal drama Suits, titled Suits: LA, premiered on February 23, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. The new series, created by Aaron Korsh, shifts the action from New York to Los Angeles, introducing a fresh cast of characters while maintaining ties to the original show’s universe. Stephen Amell stars as Ted Black, a former New York federal prosecutor who reinvents himself in LA, leading the law firm Black Lane, which represents the city’s most powerful clients. The series also features Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg, with Gabriel Macht reprising his role as Harvey Specter in a guest appearance to pass the torch to Amell’s character.
Amell, who admitted he hadn’t watched the original Suits before auditioning, dove into the show during downtime on set. He described the spinoff as having its own identity, with unique characters and storylines, while still honoring the original’s legacy. The series drops viewers into the middle of high-stakes legal drama, with Ted navigating a crisis at his firm and confronting his past.
Despite the excitement, Suits: LA has received mixed reviews. Critics noted the show struggles to recapture the magic of the original, with flat characters and a reliance on flashbacks to Ted’s New York days. The procedural nature of the legal drama feels repetitive, and the lack of chemistry among the new cast has been a point of criticism. However, fans of the original series may find comfort in the familiar tone and the occasional nods to its predecessor.
The series is available to stream on Peacock the day after its NBC airing, offering viewers multiple ways to tune in. While Suits: LA may not fully replicate the success of the original, it aims to carve out its own niche in the legal drama genre.
