I Love LA (S01E01-03)

We've all seen the shirts, now there’s a show. I Love LA is HBO's new half-hour comedy about a codependent friend group in 2025 Los Angeles. Rachel Sennott stars as Maia, an associate talent manager whose life is derailed when her chaotic best friend and influencer Tallulah (Odessa A’zion) lands in LA. Across the first three episodes, we discuss the shows satire, the performances (Josh Hutcherson, Jordan Firstman, Leighton Meester etc...), and how it stacks up against series like Girls, Insecure, and Search Party. With three episodes already out, we also touch on reception, where the story seems headed, how Rachel Sennott went from internet comic to HBO creator, and some favorite bits of behind-the-scenes trivia. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
