Why HBO’s ‘I Love LA’ Is a Disappointing Comedy

When Rachel Sennott’s show was announced for HBO’s prime Sunday night slot, people had high hopes. I Love LA is a comedy about young adults figuring out life – friendships, work, and love – in Los Angeles. While this storyline isn’t new – many creators try to capture this experience – it’s often done poorly, especially when shows focus too much on being relatable. Unfortunately, Sennott’s first episode fell into this same trap, seeming to try too hard to connect with viewers.
