Suits LA can't reconcile the new, lowered expectations of the TV medium with the show it wants to be, and that sabotages any genuine attempts to keep the franchise alive.
-
A bargain-basement version of its parent show.
-
Yes, the dialogue is stilted and almost exclusively exposition. Sure, the supporting cast is as bland as a Dodger Dog and the stages as prosaic as Dodger Stadium. But a solid central character can get you to look past all that, and Ted is too one-note, too unpleasant, and too damn angry to encourage our investment.
-
It’s pieces being moved around a board at random, in ways that aren’t satisfying because we have no idea why anyone is doing what they’re doing, and where most of the dialogue is pure posturing.
-
After a lumpy and confounding pilot filled with grating dialogue, jarring camera angles and a bizarre twist, the show attempts to stabilize in Episode 2, “Old Man Hanrahan.” Still, because it relies so heavily on the New York storyline and a barrage of gimmicky cameos from the late John Amos, Patton Oswalt and others, audiences can never truly settle in and take this new “Suits” world seriously.
-
“Suits: LA” is dumb. .... This is a show that asks you to please turn off your brain before viewing and let the whole thing wash over you like a warm bath. It’s pleasant enough, soothing even. But you better bring your own things to think about because it offers nothing more.
