Suits LA
word of advice : plunderer forSuits LAseason 1 , episode 5 , " You ’re on Your Own . "
As much asSuits LAwants to build up drama through its flashback scenes , pivoting those scenes to a dissimilar character reference could easy better the series . The flashback have occasionally essay to be a pretty important part of theSuitsspinoff serial publication . suit LAcharacterslike Kevin and Samantha appeared in the flashbacks before even come along in the main storyline . Gabriel Macht ’s Harvey Specter , who is set to come back in two more sequence , did the very same . But other than that , the part of the flashback in the series has sometimes been confutable at best .
The flashback sequences have affectedSuits LA ’s reviewsas well . One of the biggest reasons for the serial ’ tepid reception is thatmany viewers find out the characters ’ unveiling too chaotic and perplexing to make sensory faculty of the overarching story . Adding in a storyline that veer aside from the main story entirely did n’t facilitate with that . But even for those able to parse together the series ’ timeline without number , the flashback have presented alone dissimilar problems thatSuits LAhas yet to address .
Suits LA’s New York Flashbacks Have Been Disappointing
They’ve Done Nothing To Further The Main Plotline
Ted ’s life in New York has show some intriguing mystery , but it ’s not absolved why any of them actually matter to the show . How Eddie dies inSuits LAis definitely meant to be a compelling storyline , butEddie ’s death does n’t seem to have affected much about Ted ’s theatrical role at the momentother than potentially tie into why he lead New York . Likewise , while much has been made about Harvey ’s return to theSuitsfranchise , his appearing in flashbacks boils down to little more than a baseball game game and a batch of forced superhero reference point .
suit LA installment 4 was titled “ Batman Returns , ” and it gave the show the stark chance to reference Stephen Amell ’s DC superhero role .
Episode 5 goes so light on flashbacks as to suggest that the series did n’t even have enough of them to fill the storyline for its 10 - instalment first season . All that really occur in sequence 5 is thatTed develop one of Samantha ’s clients murdered right before he plan on proposing to her . That seems like a big raft on its own , but installment 5 also depicts present - day Ted and Samantha get along well than ever . If Ted ’s past actions had no lasting effect on his relationship , there ’s no reason to handle about them now .
Amanda Stevens’ History Sounds Like A More Exciting Way To Use Suits LA’s Flashbacks
She Has Multiple Arcs That Affect The Main Storyline
Erica ’s function inSuits LAepisode 1 already called Ted ’s perspicacity into question . He raise a mortal to head of entertainment who quite literally knows nothing about the field . However , he also seems to be completely unaware thatErica has a secret legal history with the firm ’s pro bono defence lawyer . It ’s not percipient what exactly Amanda did for Erica in the past , but the fact that Erica still buys her food to pay off her back for it suggests that it is substantial . That would be both interesting and relevant to see play out onscreen in a flashback .
Amanda might not beSuits LA ’s best character just yet , but she ’s the one who seems to place the most note value on her jurisprudence stage .
Withholding relevant entropy for no vindicated reason is n’t necessarily themost annoying trope inSuits , but it ’s up there . There ’s no reasonableness forSuits LAto carry over that not - so - grand custom , especially not whenAmanda ’s background linkup straight into the serial ’ independent villain ’s storyline . Amanda ’s past dealings with Elizabeth Smith have been give as sham her values as a lawyer in a very thick mode . The same ca n’t be enounce as well about Ted , which unfortunately underlines another reason Amanda should take precedence over the series ’ designate supporter .
Suits LA follows Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor who now represents influential clients in Los Angeles. As his law firm faces a critical juncture, Ted must navigate the challenges of a role he once disdained, balancing moral dilemmas with the demands of high-stakes legal battles.
Why Amanda Is One Of The More Interesting Characters In Suits LA
Suits LA Needs A Character Removed From Its Other Dramas
Amanda might not beSuits LA ’s best characterjust yet , but she ’s the one who seems to rank the most economic value on her jurisprudence level . Most of Ted ’s legal maneuvers involve Trygve Lie that could jeopardize his cases , Rick is just a overnice someone in way that do n’t want a law degree at all , andErica pawns off all her work to an associate degree who has n’t recognise her worth yet . Erica also seems to share Ted ’s taste for lying , yield she tells Rick in sequence 5 that they would have been co - head if Rick had n’t impart , something Ted never indicated to either one of them .
But Amanda ’s removed from the others ’ candidly unappealing drama and in reality calls it out . She end instalment 5 by pulling out of Lester ’s trial because Ted ’s artifice threaten her unity . It does n’t seem like a high-pitched legal profession for a sound drama likeSuits LAto have at least one fictitious character who esteem doing things de jure , yet Amanda does n’t even have principal cast billing . Seeing how she would handle Lester ’s case after the bombshell reveal of his guilt would be far more interesting than watching Ted continue to lie down his elbow room through it .
