The one connection to leisure within the episode is that David Bowie’s case offers with individuals who work within the trade, however they’re by no means proven on display screen.

It is fairly a disappointment, because the concentrate on leisure regulation was what made Fits LA distinctive and thrilling. Episodes like “Bat Sign” are particularly disappointing as a result of the felony regulation circumstances typically flip darkish. Ted often has to make use of unfair practices to get the outcomes he needs, and Stuart often defends individuals who aren’t actually harmless. This season, audiences watched Ted cover his shopper, rent somebody to impersonate a witness, get hold of information illegally, and extra. In an period the place it is exhausting to belief that the justice system will shield the harmless, it is irritating to observe TV attorneys breaking the principles so typically.
Hopefully, with Ted inviting Kevin again to Los Angeles and the Pellegrini case lastly wrapping up, Ted can get again to representing shoppers from the leisure trade. Harvey’s arc within the first season has additionally come to an in depth, with Episode 9 being his third look. The season is nearing its finish, and with no announcement a few renewal, the present wants one thing large to get viewers excited once more.
