Actor and Kentucky native Josh Hutcherson is back on the big screen in the HBO comedy “I Love LA.”
Hutcherson stars as Dylan, the boyfriend of main character Maia, who is played by Rachel Sennott in the new series that focuses on a tight-knit friend group navigating life in Los Angeles.
USA TODAY reports that rather than of focusing on “manchildren” and their refusal to conform to the standards of adulthood — as seen in popular early 2000s movies and TV comedies starring actors like Seth Rogen and sitcoms starring Charlie Sheen — women take the center stage. Instead of an ill-advised chest waxing, women starring in the series are seen catfighting in TikTok videos, whining on the phone to their parents and stealing expensive purses.
Here’s what to know.
Kentuckian Josh Hutcherson appears in HBO comedy ‘I Love LA’
Hutcherson, who grew up in Union, Kentucky, stars as Dylan in the HBO series “I Love LA.” According to a USA TODAY review, “Dylan is the only halfway tolerable character, but he also lacks much in the way of personality other than loving Maia and sometimes reading nerdy history books.”
