The Reel Review
A struggling Los Angeles talent agent finally starts to experience some success when her former best friend, a now-successful social media influencer, becomes her first client. Rachel Sennott, Odessa A’zion and Josh Hutcherson star in this satirical comedy series that Sennott created and wrote about the entertainment industry’s superficial, nihilistic nature.
Sennott’s humor, both funny and intentionally cringey, highlights the worst aspects of the influencer-obsessed Gen Z demographic born between 1997 and 2012. Maia (Sennott) is wildly self-absorbed and even more self-unaware as she tries to juggle her oh-so-important career aspirations with her relationship with her much-more grounded schoolteacher boyfriend (Hutcherson). A’zion (Marty Supreme) is great fun as the former bestie/client Tallulah, juggling unreliability with a laid-back, no care in the world attitude. Real life social media influencer Jordan Firstman (Rotting in the Sun) is the scrappy gay stylist always desperate to find his next job, with True Whitaker (daughter of Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker, in a nice touch of casting irony) the group’s nepo baby, running her father’s company despite not having a clue what it does.
This female spin on the 2004 comedy series Entourage often leans into tired character tropes, but it has enough chuckles throughout its easily binged eight 30-minute episodes to make this Rorschach test of a comedy series worth a quick watch, whether it leaves you loathing or loving the vacuous Gen Z crowd it so accurately portrays.
