I Love LA

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.

Normally not my kind of show...but I liked it. Thought it was pretty funny at times. I like the Tallulah character a lot (and the actress). Could do without the explicit sex with the guys but the story was interesting enough to get me through 2 episodes. I won't set a weekly reminder for it but worth catching occasionally.

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.

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.

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."
