I Love LA is a new comedy, created, written by, & starring Rachel Sennott streaming on HBO.
Alongside Sennott, Odessa A'zion, True Whitaker, Jordan Firstman, & Josh Hutcherson star in this Girls for 2025 kinda series. The eight episode run started last month, while also getting renewed the same month.
Like all HBO series, there is bad language, sex and 2025 issues tackled head on. With limited comedies streaming on HBO of late, is this different to the Chair Company? Hell year, this one follows, a codependent friend group reunites, navigating how the time apart, ambition, and new relationships have changed them.
The season boots off with Maia's 27th birthday, she approaches her boss, Alyssa, for a promotion. Alyssa is hesitant, citing Maia's lack of experience in a managerial role.
Before their conversation is interrupted by a phone call, Maia describes her relationship with Tallulah, now an estranged friend living in New York City, as a time when she had a talent manager role.
Later, Maia arrives home to find that Tallulah has come to Los Angeles, as arranged by their friend Alani. Their reunion is awkward, and Maia says her request for promotion was successful.
At Maia's birthday party, the pair reveal they have both been lying about their successes, and decide that Tallulah will move to Los Angeles and live with Maia as a client.
The season goes full circle in the finale with the crew going to New York as Maia and Dylan's relationship hits rocky ground.
I will be interested to hear where this HBO takes us in season two. Likely we will have to wait till 2027, as HBO have a stacked line up with a load of new series incoming! Along with series like Euphoria and Industry, some which have been MIA longer than others.
Welcome to the TV world of content overload, where you wait years now for your favourite show to return!
Until next time, it's Christmas Eve. Yawn.
