To present I Love LA as merely a Gen Z version of Girls is a reductive way of describing this deeply observant, uncompromising work of television.

It helps, of course, that the performances are natural and fast-paced, clearly taking Sennott’s acerbic, deceptively nuanced lead. These are smart portrayals of dumb characters.

It's funnyyyy everyone needs to chill out. The humour is based almost entirely on the internet. If you don't get it, get online ****

Not every joke lands. Some side characters are uninteresting. Rachel Sennot playing Rachel Sennot is kind of annoying by now. But sure, the show has one or two things to say about internet culture. Kind of weird to criticize shallowness with more shallowness, but here we are.

That I find some of these people more trying than charming doesn’t prevent “I Love L.A.” from being a show I actually quite like. (The ratio of charm to annoyance may be flipped for some viewers, of course; different strokes, as we used to say back in the 1900s.) If anything, it’s a testament to Sennott and company having done their jobs well; the production is tight, the dialogue crisp, the photography rich — nothing here seems the least bit accidental.

I Love LA leads with its characters’ most aggravating characteristics. .... But the writing gets sharper and more distinct over the course of the season. .... Even after a full eight-episode season, it still struggles to define its other characters as well as it does Maia and Tallulah. But there’s something electric in that dyad.

There’s turbulence – it takes several episodes for Maia to downshift from sketch trope to character, an initial barrier to entry for a promising series that rewards patience.

Sennott has a keen eye for the absurd workings of the influencer world, not to mention some great jokes about it. But her engagement with this new form of celebrity is so superficial for most of the 8-episode season that it’s hard to tell whether the show is meant as a commentary on shallowness or if it’s just shallow.

"LA" does not add any critical lens or takeaways. Sennott and her costars speak with an irritatingly fake affect, are shallower than a puddle in the desert and prize selfishness, indolence and artifice. The dull stories the show crafts around them add no insight or substance.

If Rachel Sennott read this review she would say I'm just a loser cynic who doesn't get her writing, but reality is, this is poorly written, not at all funny or clever, and only "relatable" if your parents own large assets abroad. One moment the main character is sipping latte's (mid day, in los angeles, while also claiming to be a "working woman in her twenties") wearing cheap thrifts (pandering to today's money strapped youth in a pathetic attempt) and then the next she's wearing designer. Um, sorry, what? Not to mention the dialogue which is absolutely diabolical - not funny at all even for Gen Z perspective. This is totally disjointed. A mess. Brain rot in TV show form. I wouldn't even have this show on as background noise. Simply turning it on deducts 20 IQ points.

A show written by transplants for transplants. I hate seeing LA get boiled down to 2 blocks on silverlake with zero representation of the rich latin culture.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. This was directionless, terribly written, and completely unoriginal. I cannot believe HBO greenlit this. If it gets a second season, it will undoubtedly be because of hate watchers. Maybe the film I Used To Be Funny was Sennott’s way of telling the public that she’s bankrupt in the humor department. I don’t see why we need eight episodes worth of proof, though.
