Suits LA Season 1 Review
‘Suits LA’ Is a New Incarnation of the Legal Dramedy Series Cut from Familiar Cloth. Switching its venue to the showbiz-heavy waters of entertainment law in the City of Angels, the new series sometimes feels like a poor copy of the original. Premiering on NBC on Sunday, February 23rd (with new episodes releasing weekly), ‘Suits LA’ looks to dip us back into the fraught legal waters first charted by the original series that began in 2011, albeit in a new city and with fresh characters.
While ‘Suits’ fans will likely welcome the chance to see the bend of drama and comedy back on their screens, the biggest question for the new show to answer will be whether it can live up to the swagger of Harvey Specter and co.
