I Love LA

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."

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!

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.

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.

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.. ?
