by

Initially, critics on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic have given the spin-off of Suits called Suits LA generally unfavorable to mediocre ratings. The legal drama portrays the experiences of former NY federal prosecutor Ted Black as he tackles high-profile cases in Los Angeles. As the series debuts, it’s clear that the new show has a different reception compared to its original version.

Suits LA’s reviews are largely negative

Suits LA has received mostly negative reviews from critics, indicating a poor reception.

Multiple commentators have voiced reservations about the program’s apparent lack of novelty. Matt Roush from TV Insider remarked, “The wardrobe remains stylish in the sunny backdrop of Los Angeles… However, it’s the narrative that seems somewhat worn and borrowed.” Additionally, Lyvie Scott of TV Guide observed, “Suits LA struggles to harmonize the reduced standards of contemporary television with its desired identity, which ultimately undermines any sincere efforts to prolong the series.

Besides myself, other reviewers also noted flaws in the program’s organization and delivery. Cristina Escobar from RogerEbert.com put it this way: “This series invites you to simply switch off your thinking and enjoy the entire experience as if you were immersed in a relaxing bath.

Adrian Horton (Guardian) found it less favorable than other spin-offs, remarking, “Much like Frasier, How I Met Your Father, and the modern Gossip Girl, the latest Suits lacks the essence of the original series, failing to capture its spirit adequately or carve out a unique identity.

Critics who saw some good points in the show still expressed doubts. For instance, Alan French from Sunshine State Cineplex stated, “Although Suits LA captures the essence of its original series, it requires significant improvement for viewers to fully embrace it.
