Barry, a doctor-turned-killer, discovered his passion for acting and decided to become an entertainer.

7. GLOW

9. Arrested Development
Picture source: Netflix
This adored sitcom is an exemplary gorge decision set in Newport Beach (however shot in Marina del Rey). While you stuck at home, you can almost feel yourself with them, between the Bluth family, where people are near-crazy (crazier when close to the sea).
10. East Los High
Picture source: NPR
This show goes around showing the lives of Latin kids in a school. It portrays the puppy-love we have during that part of our life, fights, struggles, heartbreaks and friendships. All of the actors on the show are wonderfully talented.
11. Love
Picture source: Vanity Fair
This show is set around two bungled Angelenos building their occasionally brilliant, regularly wild relationship. This is one of those crazy on-again-off-again relationships, with (ahem) high levels of intimacy. A few L.A. areas are shown here and there.
12. Lucifer
Picture source: Netflix
According to this show, the recipe for success is to get a lot of really attractive-looking people together and then get them to do stupid things. The audience will love a collective I.Q. of 8 between all actors, won’t they?
13. Modern Family
Picture source: Peacock
Ah, a personal favorite! This show is about three families, related to one another, each with a peculiar link. Its either a relationship between a hot, young woman and an old man or a chaotic family with three children or a gay couple with an adopted baby. It is hilarious to watch, and Sofia Vergara is the main reason for it.
14. Gentefied
Picture source: New York Times
Gentefied just debuted on Netflix in February of this current year. This bilingual dramedy follows three Mexican-American cousins who should attempt to keep their granddad’s Boyle Heights taco shop in business while following their passions. In contrast, their local competition keeps on evolving.
15. You
Picture source: What’s on Netflix
This is a weird show. But somehow, I couldn’t take my mind off it, even after completing it. A psychopathic book-shop owner keeps falling in love with women and does not accept having a conversation with another human being (be it a male or a female). If I love you, I’m the only one you’ll talk to.
So, here’s a list of the best TV shows set in L.A. Grab your popcorn and watch these amazing TV shows with your friends and the beautiful location of L.A. also makes you feel delightful. Happy Watching!
