Suits LA benefits from strong performances by Amell and Davis, but Korsh’s strong sense of banter and character, which made the original Suits such a sucess, is what really makes this spinoff worth watching.

Based on the episodes provided for review, Suits LA is off to a promising start. It has the right number of references to the original series, compelling characters that slightly resemble their predecessors without being carbon copies, and a new setting that raises the bar in terms of the cases that will be presented each week.

As a standalone show, it did improve over the course of the first few episodes, though it’s also spending too much time flashing back to 2010 to revisit a case that we can predict will propel Ted from federal prosecutor to entertainment lawyer. He also lacks a foil like Adams’s Mike (so far), which ends up burdening him with too much of the emotional narrative. Still, if what you like is smart, well-dressed lawyers constantly one-upping each other, you’ll find that here.
