"Not only does the buzzy comedienne's new HBO sitcom-an attempt at a modern-day, West Coast-ified Girls, with a hint of The Other Two-style cynicism directed toward the influencer economy-hearken back to classic millennial TV, but it has also been granted a prime Sunday-night slot indicative of HBO's hopes for the series. follows the journey of four friends-Maia (Sennott), Tallulah (Odessa A'zion), Charlie (Jordan Firstman), and Alani (True Whitaker)-trying to survive, with varying degrees of success and abysmal levels of self-awareness, in Los Angeles."
"If there is one way to describe Josh Hutcherson's recent career trajectory, it is with that well-known meme: Josh Hutcherson? *puffs cigarette* I haven't heard that name in years ... The 33-year-old actor came to prominence as one of the most booked child actors around, having already racked up major credits ( The Polar Express, Zathura, RV) even before his breakthrough role in 2007's Bridge to Terabithia, which premiered when he was only 14 years old."
Rachel Sennott stars in an HBO sitcom, I Love LA, positioned in a prime Sunday-night slot. The show follows four friends—Maia, Tallulah, Charlie, and Alani—navigating Los Angeles with varying success and limited self-awareness. The series channels millennial comedy and offers a West Coast, influencer-economy-inflected tone reminiscent of Girls and The Other Two. Casting emerges as the show's strongest element, mixing rising stars and TikTok-famous guest actors. Josh Hutcherson plays Maia's boyfriend Dylan and stands out as a perfectly placed cast member. Hutcherson previously rose as a prolific child actor and gained fame as Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games franchise.
