Suits LA Ends With Another Firm Shake-Up, a Hook-Up and a Love Triangle — Were You Satisfied?
Watching Suits LA's series finale, it's clear that the episode was never intended to be the final one. While there are several full-circle moments going back to the pilot, they act more as new beginnings for a potential second season than as closure. But whether you enjoyed the West Coast offshoot or found yourself wishing you could spend more time with Harvey Specter & Co., the fact of the matter is that the NBC drama got the cancellation axe, so this is where Ted Black's journey ends. In the finale, Ted and his ex Samantha teamed up to take down abusive Hollywood producer Avery Jeffers (guest star Mike O'Malley), who used to be Rosalyn's boss. Her time working for him, during which he tried to assault her, proved to be crucial to the case, as did the files of Marvin the HR rep, who was also employed by Avery. Ted took what he had to prosecutor Elizabeth Smith, even though he knew it could cost him the respect of Amanda, who doesn't like Elizabeth's ways. Their plan to take away Avery's power worked… but also unexpectedly landed Ted in a bit of a love triangle.

Samantha told Ted that watching him work did make her fall for him. 'Then or now?' Ted asked, but they were interrupted before she could answer. Meanwhile, Amanda admitted to Ted that he made the right call and that she, too, cares about what he thinks of her. She confessed to making a mistake when she said she couldn't be head of criminal and get involved with him. She asked him out for a drink, and he said he needed to see someone that night, but they could go tomorrow. Then Ted ran into Samantha, who wanted to know what he thought of Stuart's offer to go through with their merger. Ted noted that Samantha implied that she was falling for him again. She's not afraid to mix business and the personal, she replied, and so what if he has feelings for Amanda? 'I'm not afraid of messy,' she declared, to which Ted replied that he was so in on the merger. (It helped that Ted and Stuart had a moment after the latter used Ted's dad's money to name and expand a park in Eddie's memory, with Kevin's help. Speaking of Kevin, he took the job at Ted's firm.) In other romantic entanglements, Dylan went to sign with Erica, thinking that Rick being her lawyer was the only thing standing in the way of them exploring a relationship. Rick later admitted to Dylan that he has feelings for someone else, and he can't be with anyone for now. So Dylan went back to having Rick represent her, which pissed off Erica, who assumed that Rick was badmouthing her. When an angry Erica showed up at his home, hurling accusations, Rick told her the truth about how he can't get over her and exclaimed that she was too scared of getting hurt to give them a shot. But she (hopefully) proved him wrong, planting a big, steamy kiss on him. Elsewhere, the flashbacks to New York 2010 detailed the fateful day that Eddie died. Ted and Eddie's father changed their plans to take just Ted out to dinner. The two men were even bonding when Kevin called Ted to inform him that Pellegrini put a hit on him. Ted raced to his apartment, where Eddie was watching TV, but it was too late. When his dad didn't show up for the funeral, Ted confronted him, and his father confessed that he didn't regret his choice to save Ted and let Eddie be killed. viewers, what did you think of the series ender? Are you satisfied with how it wrapped up? What would you have liked to see in Season 2?

NBC pulls the plug on 'Suits L.A.' after season one
NBC has officially pulled the plug on Suits L.A., ending the spinoff after just one season. Starring Arrow alum Stephen Amell as entertainment lawyer Ted Black, the series was set in a high-stakes Los Angeles firm, Black Lane. It marked the second spinoff from the original Suits and featured surprise appearances from franchise favorites like Gabriel Macht's Harvey Specter. The show was developed following a massive resurgence in popularity of the original Suits, which shattered streaming records in 2023 with 57.7 billion minutes viewed across platforms. But despite that momentum, Suits L.A. couldn't replicate the same cultural heat. According to Deadline, the series drew in a modest audience, averaging just over 1 million viewers per episode. Fans eager for more of Aaron Korsh's signature legal drama are likely disappointed, especially after such a promising setup. Some speculate that the show's traditional weekly airing model may have contributed to its downfall, with newer audiences now conditioned to binge entire seasons at once. Whether Suits L.A. would have thrived as a binge-drop streaming title remains an open and likely unanswered question.

Suits LA Episode 11 review: Legal drama turns legal mess - case of identity crisis
Episode 12 of 'Suits LA', 'Tearin' Up My Heart,' has established that the show is going nowhere. There were signs all over the place, but it took us 12 episodes to finally understand that the spin-off has got no direction to follow. Certainly not any direction that can lead it to the viewers' hearts! What once started off as a legal drama, with the excitement of dealing with entertainment cases in the film industry set in Los Angeles, has now turned into a soap opera - not a very good one at that - with forced relationships, and unimpressive flashbacks of equations from the remember asking for more individual stories in the drama when it began in February this year. But, that was because it was always a good idea to know where the decisions of these characters were coming from. Why was Ted Black going against someone in court the way he did, or why did he trust someone so strongly, or why did Stuart decide to deceive his best friends of years to make a selfish decision? It was all asked so that we could find ourselves more invested in 'Suits LA' - this new world which was clearly so different from the iconic 'Suits', and yet looked similar (without the interesting bit, though).However, all that seems to have backfired now. At this point, there's too much melodrama and no action happening in the show. The twists are limited to long gazes and silent sighs of relief. And a tiring sense of baggage of past relationships. Let's have an account of these relationships that continue to work in the past:Stuart and Ted: Friends-turned well... not-friends-anymoreRick and Erica: Slept together in the past, but broke up or didn't or if that was just a one-time thing - we don't and Samantha: Exes who can't escape their tied-up and her troubled childhood - a controlling father who never let her make her choices - and that gets the best of her while picking cases. Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane in 'Suits LA' (Photo: Instagram/ NBCSuits) advertisement None of it would have looked so troublesome if there was still a main narrative leading from the front. Like in 'Suits' - Harvey, Donna, Mike and Rachel - all had their individual stories, but we were still given an interesting case to follow. There was something for everyone's taste in the Aaron Korsh has got the structure right, but there's no concrete inside. The new 'Suits' series is not able to establish a permanent conflict that makes it capable of making the audience sit up and take notice, leaving them asking for more, or at least making the wait for the next episode difficult. The romance is not romancing, and the mystery is not thrilling enough. Honestly, 'Suits LA' looks like a forget-it-now-case, where you have the recipe, but you are unable to follow it step-by-step, again and is the point where we seem more interested in the build-up to the finale than the finale itself. Because, well, at the pace it's going, it might as well just end abruptly and nobody would demand a closure!

How to watch 'Suits LA:' Where to watch new episodes, stream for less with a VPN and more
Suits, the legal dramedy which ran on the USA Network from 2011 to 2018, has had a massive resurgence thanks to its arrival on Netflix in 2023. (It could also have something to do with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle appearing on the show, too.) Thanks to its enduring popularity, the show has gotten a new spin-off, Suits LA, which premiered on Sunday, Feb. 23 and is now streaming on Peacock. The West Coast version of the show focuses on Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, who relocates to Los Angeles. Among Ted's new colleagues are Erica Rollins (Lex Scott Davis), Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt), and Rick Dodson, played by Bryan Greenberg, and Suits fans can also expect to see a familiar face on the spin-off: Gabriel Macht is reprising his role as Harvey Spector in the new series. Here's a quick primer on how to watch Suits LA from anywhere, on NBC, Peacock, or with the help of a VPN. You can tune into Suits LA Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. The series premiered on Sunday, Feb. 23 and an encore of that episode will air on NBC this Friday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. ET. The 10-episode season of Suits LA will stream on Peacock the day after new episodes drop on NBC. If you want to watch Suits LA without cable or a Peacock subscription, you can do just that with the help of a VPN. By using a VPN with a location set to a different country, such as Australia, viewers in the U.S. can tune in to new episodes of Suits LA weekly for free on 7Plus. Simply change your location settings accordingly and tune in to 7Plus from anywhere. And if you have a Peacock subscription but happen to be traveling internationally, you can use a VPN with a location set to a U.S. city to watch Suits LA without interruption. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to overseas cricket or rugby matches that aren't broadcast in the U.S., a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.
