One individual wrote on X, “Is this the pilot episode or episode 3? It feels like they threw all these characters at us without any introduction and expect us to understand their current storylines they’re involved it. I’m trying soo hard to like this but it’s giving rushed production.”

A third observed that “suits LA getting dragged to hell” whereas including a GIF from “RHONY,” whereas another person wrote, “#SuitsLA is a flop. Poor writing. Disingenuous characters and a plot that doesn’t hold the original #Suits jockstrap. #TryAgain.”
Nonetheless, not everybody was disenchanted with the premiere episode.
“I’m going to be reasonable about Suits: LA. I’m not going to whine and complain like everybody else is about the lack of the original characters. When the original show started, I would bet that people definitely didn’t know or care at first about the characters,” one individual shared on the social media platform.
“Probably the only one on twitter actually enjoying Suits LA lol #SuitsLA,” a second wrote, whereas one other completely happy watcher added: “Suits LA is BOMB. Same high stakes feeling from the original but a whole new arena and areas of expertise but still very intense.”
“Suits” was on the USA Community for 9 seasons from 2011 to 2019 and adopted Manhattan company lawyer Harvey Specter (performed by Macht) and his workforce by way of trials and tribulations out and in of the courtroom.
Macht, 53, is reprising his function in three episodes of “Suits LA” “for the fans,” per Folks.

The present’s creator, Aaron Korsh, known as the actor to supply him the possibility to come back again to his previous stomping grounds.
“Aaron called me and he just said, ‘Look, this is a different world. This is in LA. It’s not New York, but the character of Ted, who Stephen Amell is playing, he came out of New York,” Macht defined. “And (Harvey) would’ve known him when you were in New York. And if there’s any world where you might be interested in coming back, let me know. Because I have this idea that could be really great.’”
And Korsh won’t ever say by no means to providing one other “Suits” star the possibility to make a comeback.
Meghan Markle landed her breakout function as Rachel Zane on the collection in 2011 however left in 2018 forward of marrying Prince Harry. The collection creator stated the door is open for the Duchess of Sussex to make a cameo if she desires to.
“So, look, to me, we have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor,” he advised Folks on the “Suits LA” premiere. “I think for me that’s a little … My brain blows up at the thought of that.”
“So I think it blows up the world too much,” Korsh confessed. “Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back.”
The outlet requested if Markle, 43, has an open invitation to return, to which the director replied, “Of course. Of course. Always. But I think realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that. Yeah.”
Korsh wrote Markle’s character out of the collection, having Rachel transfer to Seattle after marrying her boyfriend, Mike Ross, performed by Patrick J. Adams.
As for Adams presumably making a cameo on the spinoff, he shared he’s prepared however advised Collider in December: “Truthfully, I’m more than happy to keep that character exactly where he is. I think it ended in a perfect place.”
