It’s Fun To Watch Unfold
If there’s one knock about theSuitsspinoff, even with cast memberGabriel Macht coming back as Harvey Specter, it’s that the new version isa bit more serious and lacks the playful energy of the previous iteration. Amanda and Ted help to balance that out, givingSuits LAa bit of that opposites-attract dynamic that tends to work well. It helps, too, that Grace and Amell are TV veterans who know how to cultivate a pairing that gets viewers talking.
