Stephen Amell’s Suits LA Premiere Disappoints Fans: Viewers Call It a ‘Rushed Mess’ of the Original Suits

by

Last Sunday saw the long-awaited debut of Suits LA, but initial responses indicate that it may not have met its high expectations. This spin-off, set in Los Angeles, presents a fresh character named Ted Black, portrayed by Stephen Amell. Ted is an ex-prosecutor who has transitioned to entertainment law and must now work to save his ailing law firm.

Before the show’s debut, much anticipation surrounded the reappearance of Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter, as reported by New York Post. Yet, fans expecting a significant role were let down. The only appearance Macht makes is in a framed photo on Ted’s desk, which left many viewers feeling deceived.

Regardless of the novel environment and plot, fans remain unconvinced. Numerous individuals have vented their dissatisfaction on social media platforms, labeling the series hasty and perplexing.

Here are a few reactions from Twitter:

Viewers have noted that the show seems to move too quickly with its narrative, and it appears the character development could be improved. One Twitter user expressed, “Is this the initial episode or episode 3? It feels as if they’ve thrown all these characters at us without any prior introduction, expecting us to grasp their ongoing storylines immediately. I’m making an effort to appreciate it, but it seems hasty and gives off a vibe of rushed production.

A different fan posted, “#SuitsLA Debut. It’s terribly done. Every dialogue exchange seems forced and tries too hard to be humorous. It’s almost like a satire of the original Suits on TikTok. There’s no character growth or clarity about the plot. I feel as if I joined halfway through the season. Who are these individuals?

Here are some other reactions on Twitter:

Following a wave of critical responses, it remains uncertain if Suits LA can recover. A fan succinctly expressed the widespread dissatisfaction, stating, ” Frankly, the first 45 minutes of Suits LA were very rough. It seemed hastily assembled, as though they put it together at the last minute just before collecting the children from the carpool line.” Currently, Suits LA appears to have fallen short, and significant adjustments will be required to regain fan favor.
