**Los Angeles, CA** – NBC’s new legal drama, “Suits: LA,” premiered with a whirlwind of betrayal, family conflict, and high-stakes legal maneuvering. The show centers around Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a highly skilled but cocky lawyer known for his unwavering commitment to justice, even as his blunt demeanor alienates many.

The premiere episode introduces Ted’s seemingly successful merger with his longtime friend and fellow lawyer, Stewart. However, this partnership quickly turns sour when Stewart orchestrates a shocking betrayal, stealing the majority of Ted’s firm, clients, and employees. Ted is left scrambling to salvage his career and rebuild his firm with a dwindling team. Meanwhile, Stewart attempts to further undermine Ted by recruiting his associates.

Adding to Ted’s professional woes is a deeply personal crisis: his estranged father’s impending death. Forced to confront his troubled relationship with his father – stemming from the past treatment of his brother with Down syndrome – Ted makes a difficult journey across the country to be at his father’s bedside.

Amidst the chaos, Ted devises a plan to get back at Stewart, targeting one of Stewart’s new clients. This plan, combined with his efforts to rebuild his firm, makes for a fast-paced and dramatic premiere. The episode sets the stage for a serialized narrative, promising complex storylines and unresolved conflicts throughout the season.

While “Suits: LA” champions Christian values of dignity, family, and justice, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older teens and adults due to its moderate foul language and depiction of alcohol and drug use. The show is a high-octane blend of legal battles and personal turmoil, making Ted Black a complex and intriguing protagonist despite his flaws. The series stars Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, and Josh McDermitt, and is produced by NBCUniversal.
