‘I Love LA’

What to Watch

Rachel Sennott is a Gen Z success story: Her no-holds-barred social media presence launched a successful career in comedy and a career on the silver screen in projects like Shiva Baby, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Bottoms. Now, the comedian is striking out on her own with her HBO original comedy series, I Love LA. The show, which premiered this week on HBO, introduces us to Sennott’s Maia, a perfectionist trying to climb the social ladder despite her boss – and her lack of connections – holding her back. But her career and her personal life get a jumpstart when a former close friend comes crashing back into her life with what seems like a promising fresh start. I Love LA feels true to life in all of its toxic and messy ways, teeing up what will surely be a timely comedy.
