I didn't see Pearson, but Suits LA failed because it was being incorrectly compared to the wrong show. The sibling conscience, the flashbacks, the romantic banter, this was Arrow rebranded. If they had named the show anything else, there was a chance. However, they put the Suits title on an Arrow show. They even had Stephen Amell. He's not a bad actor, Ted Black isn't a bad character. The issue is, they didn't focus more on giving Eddie more scenes. He may be dead, but Eddie could have been Ted's moral com. Sibling banter near the end of each episode could have a hook. They would have been the Harvey and Mike that Suits LA should have had but didn't. Kevin would've been better compared to Diggle than Mike. Suits LA with Ted and Ed might have succeeded where Suits LA with Oliver Queen didn't.

If you look at the Christmas specials, especially for 11 and 12, time lord rules have seemed to be superseded by the rules or magic of Christmas. Therefore, the Blinovitch Limitation Effect could be neutralized by the standing laws of Christmas on Earth. Rules of magic supersede the rules of time. This is my head Canon, welcome to it.
