The greenback boogie heads to California in Suits LA.
How aboutSuits, but we set it in Los Angeles this time?
Heres the funny part: WhileSuits LAcomes across like the most cliche spin-off suggestion ever, it works.

You think you know this story, but you dont
Stephen Amells Ted Black leadsSuits LA.
In between all of this, flashbacks of Teds past play in between the scenes.
Sounds a lot like the originalSuits, right?
At one point, I even exclaimed, Cmon!
Couldnt they have at least tried to not steal every beat from the original show?
You think you know how this show is about to go?
Nope, think again.
Whats particularly impressive aboutSuits LAis the depth of the writing for the characters.
In addition, the show isnt afraid to let the guards fall faster than what they did inSuits.
Theres a vulnerability to these characters that endear them to the audience faster.
For example: Look at Ted Black, who is essentially the Harvey Specter archetype of this story.
No one gave this series a chance in hell of being as important or good as the original.
Yet, here we are…
In comparison,Suits LAs first three episodes are much better than whatSuitsput out in 2011.
No one had this on their bingo card for 2025!
The first episode of Suits LA premiers on NBC on February 23, 2025.
