“I Love LA” fulfilled my craving for Gen-Z satire

A montage of Erewhon still shots, “should I kill myself on Instagram live or TikTok live?,” Elijah Wood playing an extremely socially awkward version of himself, a lesbian rainbow Ritz crackers mural and an end scene to “Dreams” by the Cranberries; “I Love LA” is hands down one of the best shows I have…
