“Suits” was originally embraced by audiences as a fresh series with a new premise and an unknown cast, the spin-off could similarly captivate viewers.
Despite lacking the majority of the original cast, the new show shares the brand name and has the potential to be equally impressive if given a chance.
It’s just not Suits without the majority of the original cast.
Exactly! They slapped the Suits name on it and expect people to watch. It’ll never match the original.
