Regardless of bringing again a few of the unique forged from the flagship sequence, together with Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter, and having some fairly big-name visitor stars to assist fill out the world of movie star lawyer Ted Black (Stephen Amell), “Fits LA” simply could not reside as much as the allure of the unique, with some weird plot twists proper from the leap making the present sort of a bizarre mess.

Fits LA was could not seize the Fits magic
