I Love LA is the new comedy series causing a stir at HBO, but what songs are on the soundtrack? Find out below.
The show has been written by its lead star Rachel Sennott, known for her roles in Shiva Baby, Bodies Bodies Bodies and Bottoms, the last of which she also co-wrote.
She plays Maia, an ambitious young woman who aspires to be a talent manager. She reunites with her friendship group, including Odessa A’zion’s Tallulah and True Whitaker’s Alani, while Ayo Edebiri, Elijah Wood and Josh Hutcherson also make appearances.
Watch the trailer for I Love LA here:
The show premiered on HBO on November 2, with further episodes arriving every Sunday until the season finale on December 21. It is available to watch in the UK via Sky and NOW TV.
It has been well received, currently sitting on an 84 per cent critics rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with a consensus reading: “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.”

The show includes an original score by Kenneth Blume, the producer and musician formerly known as Kenny Beats, an acclaimed collaborator with the likes of Vince Staples, IDLES, Denzel Curry and Geese.
