Gabriel Macht returns to the Suits world as Harvey Specter in the eighth episode of Suits LA.

It's been six years since Suits ended and, since then, the legal drama (which premiered on USA Network in 2011) has exploded in popularity, thanks to streaming. More than a decade later, we've finally returned to the world of Suits. And this time, Los Angeles is where it's at.

Stephen Amell leads the cast of the buzzy spin-off. Here, he plays Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who relocates across the country to trade criminal law practice for the entertainment variety. It sounds like a safe choice but dealing with the behind-the-scenes conflicts that may arise in Hollywood presents its own unique challenges. 

Joining Amell are Lex Scott Davis (as Erica Rollins), Josh McDermitt (as Stuart Lane) and Bryan Greenberg (as Rick Dodson). Gabriel Macht, who starred in the original series as Harvey Spector, reprises his role in the spin-off.

How to watch Suits LA with a VPN

If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and also can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.

VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
