I found this show very hard to enjoy. As someone who had Broad City and Insecure as a reference point, it was so easy to see how Rachel knocked off both shows. Lacks sincerity, authenticity, and characters that aren't insufferable.

Maybe I'm too old, but the Gen Z meets valley girl meets influencer accent is too much. I couldn't find someone I wanted to support.

I hope it gets better but as of right now, it's trying to be Broad City and Insecure but doesn't have the writing, acting, or strong enough story line to compete. It reeks of a privileged girl who somehow convinced HBO to pick this up.

This is the most annoying, ridiculous, stupid show I have ever seen. It so wants to be the new "Sex and the City" and it so is not. It is just trying too hard to be clever and with it and amazing but it is none of that. It is just irritating! Now I am required to post a set number of words. What else can I say? HBOMAX is trying to shove this down people's throats but it is not working. I can't imagine anyone who thinks this is worth watching. OK, is that enough words?

This is a ridiculous show, no wonder HBO is not performing well as they are continue to allow stupid shows like this. Rachel Sonnet is so annoying, and the writing is so poor.

Everyone, from actors, to writers of this show find some retail jobs as show biz is not for them.

Pro tip for other producer's: Cancel the show and never hire these people involved in this show again.

I Love LA mistakes being "painfully online" for being clever and funny. Every character is intentionally "LA" content creator-esque and completely insufferable in their own way. The show wants to satirize influencer culture but ends up replicating it, offering nothing new we don't already see daily on TikTok or Instagram. It's not witty or insightful, just another hollow reflection of a world already drowning in a culture of influencers and the false sense of importance/celebrity they portray online. Watching it feels less like satire and more like the real culture we already hate with a dash more of vocal fry. Guess some people consider this funny.. ?

I have been reading that this show is actually a "satire" of the age of influencers. It is telling that I, as someone who embraces and enjoys satires, especially those about show business, could not tell if this show is making fun of or celebrating the current toxic state of LA social culture. Satire works best if it is just a tiny bit over the top. Perhaps these characters act over the top like real-life chronically online "yass-queens", but the show's overall vibe lacks self-awareness.

I think some great examples of show biz satire are "The Other Two", "30 Rock", "Extras"- there are plenty others. What makes them different from "I Love LA" is that those shows make an effort to demonstrate their characters and situations are hyperbolic caricatures of real-life standards, industrial or social. Most of them focus on characters who would be deeply unlikable in real life, but we are able to enjoy and embrace them as fictional characters. "I Love LA" doesn't seem to know where the line should be drawn. The performances are grounded and believable. In this case, that is far from a compliment. I frequently couldn't tell if the show is a parody of toxic modern socialization or a cheeky celebration of it.

For me, this show rings extremely hollow. I wouldn't be so hard on it if any network other than HBO was hosting it. This is quite a dip in quality from their more celebrated comedies. I just have a hard time believing that Rachel Sennott, the rest of the cast (featuring online content creators and nepo babies) and writers aren't genuinely a little proud of promoting this type of backwards behavior (30 year olds acting and talking like 15 year olds). This is all but confirmed with casting of infamously toxic actress, Leighton Meester. I felt validated in this perspective after watching Sennott's guest spot on Conan O'Brien's podcast. The vocal fry, the 40 minute diatribe about astrology... You're telling me this show is satire when she's out here acting like her character in real life? Someone with a background as an influencer, nonetheless.

There is nothing clever to bite at here. No valuable social commentary. No self-awareness and therefore, no shame. Weak, quasi-humor. It is desperate in its attempt to grasp your attention with a needless sex scene and toplessness to open the series (perhaps Sennott is pre-qualifying herself for an Oscar win someday). It is a series so out of touch with what it is actually like to be a young person in 2025 (even in LA) and seems to ostracize audiences who do not embrace the vapidness its entirely unrelateble characters proudly portray. Additionally, at this rate, the show should be renamed "I Love Silverlake". Where is the actual LA? You can find it on the supremely funnier and authentic comedy series, "This Fool".

Final thought: We do not need any sort of show, regardless of genre, about influencers. For the love of the universe, let them and their industry fade into irrelevance. God help us if that never happens.

Was only here for Josh... but he is not enough to make me continue watching what I can only describe as completely cringe worthy.

No wonder American culture is abhorred. This was just one big 'Ew Fest' with not one likeable character.

The accents, the attitudes, the culture, the narcissism - it's all too much.

Josh, you need to vacate this show immediately!

I LOVE everyone involved with this show and as someone who just moved away from LA after 25 years I was looking forward to watching this and getting melancholy about LA... but all it did was play into the worst stereotypes about LA... vocal fry and all. I'm hoping that it might be ironic and that the future eps will reveal Mia et all to become real people (which there are actually a lot of in LA) I know it's unfairly being compared to the LA "Girls" but it is not even close. If this is the REAL LA I guess I got out just in time!

While trying to skewer influencer culture and the shallowness of life that exists mostly online, show misses the mark by replicating the fantasy of LA. The vocal fry brigade in this show live in a bizarre sideshow yet still idealized version of LA life that thinks $20 beers at a hipster bar and and an Erewon shopping basket are tickets to culture. Maybe some show will actually depict the graffiti on every public surface (how about a shot of graffiti tower in DTLA?), sidewalks reeking of urine, and the insane housing costs especially since the fires. Not to mention the hopelessness of the forever war on homelessness and mental illness as a downstream effect of a city still reeling from the pandemic and the attendant policy choices. That show would be titled "MacArthur Park, 2025."

I'm in the same age bracket, same internet era, similar sociologic dynamics myself, so I write this review as the target audience.

I wish the humour was better, it falls flat and forced most of the scenes and the vibe i'm getting is constipated but agitated on the acting all around. Just screaming and shouting and I get that they're trying to exaggerate the tone-deafness of LA but there's actually viable ways to make it funny without trying too hard. It feels like a bunch of stereotypes and exaggerations stacked on top of each other, like a never ending list of clichees to tick. The set design of each space we are introduced to is quite nice, the clothes department also did a good job,all the actors are handsome too, the way it was filmed at the beginning gave me headaches with the camera moving all the time, scenes cutting off at inconvenient moments, which is too bad because I genuinely saw potential here. The narrative thread the story accelerates is a bit here and there, launching us in this wanna be universe with all these characters, dropping them in the same episode, everybody being super obnoxious etc. I do wish we saw more of LA scenery, places, restaurants, more details in general on everyone and everything.

I don't want to compare this to Girls of Lena Dunham but it's the closest thing I could think of, that Rachel Senott wanted to emulate I guess, which unfortunately falls kinda short. Maybe the next episodes will be better? Will I still be watching? Honestly, I don't know, it's one of those series you watch when you're super bored and have nothing else on tv that day.

Rachel do better, you have all these people, resources, HBO, God knows what other resources all at your feet, you can do much better, otherwise all the Hollywood stereotypes are true and no one there, despite having every ingredient and much more to create something amazing, can't actually do it.

Ok, so it's been only 2 episodes so far, but it does look like an updated version of Girls. Which, really, is not a bad thing! It's an HBO show, so there are somewhat explicit scenes here and there, though pretty mild by modern standards. The characters are zany and quirky, the influencer culture and LA it-girls are interesting to watch. I think it should get grittier and have more LA inside jokes, much more sarcasm/irony, and a cameo or two, but I though it was a pretty good start. Waiting for new episodes, it could be a fun little series to watch! HBO - don't cancel it!

So sick of this same borning transplant narrative. So Original .... New story so girl moves to LA to make it, and she goes through all these wacky zany adventures, does all these crazy things not like her home but somehow has a heart of gold, amazing story telling way to read a room guys: exactly what the people want, never heard this story before, cray cray.

The show is literally about a group of privileged people navigating a fantasy version of their lives and there's an entire genre in comedy built around that idea. A lot of the criticism here feels like it's ignoring that on purpose. That being said, the first and second episodes aren't groundbreaking but they're fun and easy to watch.

Man they keep shoving this show down ours throats and trying to promote it but man is it super annoying and just a buncha rich brats complaining

thats not really the kinda show we need at this moment in time, no one wants to see a bunch of spoiled rich brats complain about their unfunny valley girl bimbo lives.

First of all, props to Rachel, Josh, Jordan, and True, they made the show slightly bearable with their actual GOOD acting. I mean, me and my sister thought this was gonna be a fun show we could watch together but it clearly was not. Yea, it had its moments but Tallulah was insufferable and ruined it for us. Hate to dump on an actress who's trying to make it, but some people just weren't born for it, I mean come on your mom and sister are literally actresses you could at least have some talent. Overall the show just cringed us out and was not really good. Like it's every copy and paste movie based on LA, at least be original. Again, could be better but Odessa lowkey ruined it for you guys.

The trailers alone were enough to convince me that this would be a complete disaster about insufferable, entitled people (the kind that when they're in a bar I immediately go to the other watering hole down the block) but I gave it a shot. Holy hell this show is AWFUL. Nothing redeeming. Badly acted, badly written, unoriginal, the list could go on and on. Rachel Sennot is an interesting study in how to get ahead by being horrible - don't understand it at all. She was decent in shiva baby but then when you realize what a vapid person she is both on screen and off, you really need to scratch your head. This show is horrendous. I'm shocked it got a second season greenlit. Better shape up fast because it will undoubtedly be your last season if you don't course correct. What a shame that this show exists when so many other talented writers and actors struggle for their break. This is the epitome of insufferable.

It's unfortunate this got so much hate it's pretty good although love the trailer song wish that was part of the series. Great cast nice to see Odessa Azion not in horror, she was awesome in new Hellraizer and Until Dawn film. This deserves more than 5.7 rating but I guess it's fair maybe overtime it'll change, to me it's great!

The first episode hit me like a breath of fresh air. Kinda raunchy, great dialog and a quirky set of friends make the premise not only palpable but believable.

If you're a fan of Girls (2012) or Florida Girls (2019), this show fills that role. Relatable stories told by women within the demographic. Should be a fun ride!!!

We have to stop letting transplants make shows about Los Angeles that erase the real LA and the people who built it. It's unacceptable to portray a city that's nearly 50% Mexican without a single Mexican character in sight. But honestly, what else can we expect from an NYU transplant from Connecticut who's never had genuine Latino friends here? The show doesn't reflect LA - it reflects her filtered, white-washed, influencer-fantasy version of it.

This isn't representation. It's erasure.

And the gentrification of neighborhoods like Echo Park - both on-screen and in real life - needs to end. Go check out This Fool on Hulu. It's realistic while being funny, cool, and everything this show thinks it is.

I hope there is more to LA than these vapid characters in unoriginal tropes. I was able to able to enjoy Girls to some degree but all the people in the show are just too insufferable, I could probably get past it if the comedy was solid but the only enjoyable thing seems to Los Angeles itself. I don't see this getting season two.

I Love LA" isn't just about Los Angeles - it's about what it does to people.

From the very first scene, you feel the chaos of chasing dreams in a city that pretends to care. Rachel Sennott plays Maia like she's holding it all together - until she's not. It's funny, messy, and painfully real in that "I know someone like her" kind of way.

What really hit me is how the show doesn't glamorize LA. There's no golden sunset pretending everything's fine. It's Instagram-perfect on the surface, but beneath that - loneliness, ambition, and confusion mix like smog and neon lights.

The writing is sharp, almost cruel at times, but it never feels fake. You laugh one second and feel completely crushed the next. That's the magic of good storytelling - it sneaks up on you.

Rachel Sennott's performance is electric - she turns every breakdown into art. You can't look away.

"I Love LA" is a love letter and a breakup note to the same city - and honestly, I kind of loved every second of that contradiction.

Final thought: It's not about loving LA. It's about surviving it.

• Written by a 17-year-old who's still figuring out his own dream city.

Stressful lives of young Angelios and the sequined moms of Silver Lake would entertain anybody, imho. Created by and starring Rachel Sennott, the show nails a sharp, absurd tone. It's described as "equal parts funny and cringe" with a distinctly Gen-Z/"very online" vibe.

The setting and aesthetic feel real - the L. A. influencer scene, the ambition, the hustle for visibility - it all comes through vividly.

Character ensemble is fun: Sennott's Maia (ambitious, messy); her best friend-stylist Charlie; the nepo-baby Alani; and Tallulah the influencer. They give the show its edge and comedic fuel.

Critics point out that by mid-season, the show starts deepening - it doesn't stay purely surface level. Emotional beats begin to land.

What's less strong The pace and tone = uneven. Some reviewers say the first few episodes are clunky, tone-searching, maybe too reliant on referencing influencer rituals and tropes.

Because it leans heavily into "the world of digital fame & clout", if that world isn't inherently interesting to you, parts may feel exhausting or shallow.

The "cringe-comedy" style will polarize: you might love the self-aware messiness, or you might find it grating. One site says you need "some patience" to get into it. My verdict: approve.

I just finished watching I Love LA episode 4, and honestly it was a huge disappointment. The characters felt shallow and underdeveloped, the directing lacked focus, and the overall story was extremely weak. Instead of relying on solid writing and meaningful character arcs, the show leans heavily on forced themes to create impact but it never lands. It feels like the series tries too hard to generate attention instead of earning it through quality storytelling. Definitely not worth the hype.

The people hating on this show have some genuine self reflection to do bc I think you see something in the characters that you see in yourself, and you don't like that... It is not even remotely close to being a "knock off" of Broad City or Insecure, there's gotta be some bot campaign to hate on this for some reason bc the "criticisms" I'm seeing are just thinly veiled (if veiled at all) misogyny.
