But, you know. Yeah.

I mean, Issa Rae produced this. So like, of course, there's going to be two to three different very good looking men.

I mean, I can't claim. I mean, California is a big place. Yes. And also, I've only lived here for like four and a half years. So I'm not I'm not here to like I don't want anyone who's actually like from L.A. to be like, you don't know anything about this place. I did get a sense from especially again, this goes back to the movie Friday.

Like you have all these different types of personalities and everyone knows everyone or is like two or three degrees away from someone. I thought Aziza Scott, who plays Big Booty Bernice. She was a character and she was sometimes kind of a caricature, but I still enjoyed that because there are people who are just, they are, that's who they are.

It just, it felt like the little that I've experienced of LA and what I've experienced of living in the Bay, it felt true in a way. And I would expect nothing less from Issa Rae because, you know, again, she's producing this and LA is her home. And she, most of the things she does are like love letters to LA in a way. And I don't think this is any different.
