Critics Consensus

An irreverent and self-referential comedy speaking to Gen Z existentialism, I Love LA is equal parts funny and cringe thanks to creator Rachel Sennott's absurdist sensibility.

It’s a little bit scrappy, it’s a little bit loose, but so are its characters, and that’s why I Love LA is actually so fun to just hang out with.

The writing gets sharper and more distinct over the course of the season, especially as its perspective broadens beyond its core characters’ petty obsessions.

While the jokes land inconsistently and often rely on strong performers to elevate them, these are vividly drawn characters.

I liked season one of I Love LA a lot. It can feel shallow, but some of that works with the humor and just how different this generation of young people is from the previous ones, and just how much the journeys feel familiar.

It's uneven, sometimes clumsy, but its power lies in the honesty with which it portrays a society that lives to project itself. [Full review in Spanish]

Desperately seeking something to recommend it, & was very excited to watch as I love Rachel Sennott. Always tough to enjoy a show when there’s genuinely no one to root for and these characters hit the psyche like a cheese grater.

This show is fantastic. I don’t normally review stuff, but I wanted to try to bring balance to the conversation on this one because it seems that the involuntary celibates don’t like it and are actively trying to tank the metrics. I look forward to watching this show. You should check it out.

Shocking HBO thinks this is up their standard. Shocking this is renewed.

As a Gen Z born and raised here in LA, I felt secondhand embarrassment watching this show. I loved Shiva Baby and liked Bottoms, but this was just not it. The writing is embarrassingly bad, tries way too hard, I couldnt care less about the characters and it’s just not funny at all. This is going to end up with the same canceled after 1 season fate that the Idol met. I’m 100 percent convinced most of the good reviews are bought because there’s just no way. I hope Josh Hutcherson can brush himself off after this gets canned and start taking better jobs again. Please HBO! Bring back good shows.

I'm Gen Z and this show is like watching part of my TL--which is NOT a good thing. Vapid, desperate ppl who are unbothered about what's actually happening in the world. It's just not a smart show.
