Rachel Sennott Loves Los Angeles

Rachel Sennott has come a long way since her viral video roasting Los Angeles six years ago. She now stars in and created the HBO series “I Love LA”, portraying Maia, a character navigating through adulthood in the age of Instagram It girls. Rachel’s journey to this successful show started with indie films like “Shiva Baby” and breakout roles in “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and “Bottoms”.

Through many Instagram posts and red carpet appearances, Rachel’s transition from New York to LA is evident. She recently shared a photo of the writers’ room, displaying a poster screaming “New York Is Over”, which actually held a special meaning for Rachel and her fellow executive producers Emma Barrie and Max Silvestri. They replaced a lost poster to honor a friend affected by wildfires.

Inspired by the infamous “Splat!” episode from “Sex and the City”, “I Love LA” captures the vibe of sunny and fabulous Los Angeles with a hint of struggles and isolation. Maia, played by Rachel, faces challenges like earthquakes, toxic bosses, and fake relationships in the show. Her interactions with characters like Dylan, Tallulah, and Alani reflect the facade of success and influence in the City of Angels.

Despite comparisons to other shows, Rachel describes “I Love LA” as a mix of “Entourage” and the millennial grind vibe of “Girls” and “Atlanta”. The series captures the essence of LA’s entertainment industry, where appearances often overshadow reality. It’s a refreshing take on young adulthood in the digital age, adding a dash of fantasy glam reminiscent of “Sex and the City”.

“I Love LA” gives viewers a peek into the intricacies of LA life with humor and depth, showcasing Rachel’s talent and creativity as both a performer and a creator. It’s a must-watch for anyone looking to explore the highs and lows of chasing dreams in the entertainment capital of the world.
