THE brand new spin-off to hit TV show Suits has received a hugely underwhelming response after making its debut.

But it seems fans have been switching off before the premiere episode even ended and it has fared even worse with the critics.
Suits LA introduced fans to Ted Black, played by Stephen Amell, the new leading lawyer in the program.
The show sees him on a battle to keep his business afloat and is also set to welcome a cameo from original Suits star Gabriel Macht as Harvey Spencer in the not so distant future.
Having aired for the first time over the weekend in the US, the show has now been left with a dismal 34% Rotten Tomatoes score after failing to win over fans.
Viewers were also quick to have their say with one raging: "Was so disappointed! The cast lacked chemistry and the plot was dull."
Another added: "It jumped right into a plot with introducing you to the new city, firm or characters. I’ll try episode 2 but not looking promising."
A third went on to say: "What an absolute train wreck. As a massive Suits fan, I can't believe how tragic this pilot was.
"Just ridiculous. Mr Korsh that was an embarrassment to your credibility and will stain your legacy.

"I can’t believe how let down I am after that. I can’t say even as an avid Suits fan I will bother to watch the 2nd episode."
The furious comments continued to flood in and certainly did not stop there.

Someone else penned: "They are trying to be exactly like the original Suits and it is awful. The plot is already all over the place 15 minutes in."
Before another jumped in to write: "This is like a parody of a low budget spoof of the original. Horrible! Bad writing, bad acting, boring scenes. Ugh."
Suits originally ended in 2019 but found international success when it became a Netflix hit thanks to it being Meghan Markle's most famous acting role as Rachel Zane before she shunned acting to marry Prince Harry.
