HBO’s Togetherness aired its last show over the weekend. It’s an example of a genre that’s been called “prestige comedies.” And in prestige comedies, LA seems like a particularly depressing place. Despite its sandy beaches, gorgeous vistas, and year-round good weather, the LA of shows like Togetherness, Love, The Comeback and BoJack Horseman is a pretty awful place filled with existential despair… and traffic. What’s driving this West Coast dreariness?
