Regardless of bringing again a number of the authentic solid 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 superstar lawyer Ted Black (Stephen Amell), “Fits LA” simply could not dwell as much as the allure of the unique, with some weird plot twists proper from the bounce making the present form of a bizarre mess. The sequence earned a poor crucial reception as well and it appears that evidently audiences weren’t impressed a lot both, leading to its untimely loss of life.
Fits LA was could not seize the Fits magic
In response to Deadline, the sequence was canceled as a consequence of its low viewership, at the same time as the unique “Fits” continues to do very effectively for itself on Netflix.

You recognize, just like the fits themselves would possibly.
