Los Angeles has many faces: the real LA where regular people live and work, the degenerate underbelly of any big city, and the rarefied world of wealth, power, and celebrity. LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan’s latest case plunges her into this insular realm of privilege, and gives her a glimpse of the decay behind the glitter.

Beloved actor Evan Hobbes is found in the rubble of a Malibu rockslide, a day after a fake video ruins his career. It’s not clear to Nolan if it’s an accident, a suicide, or a murder, and things get murkier as the investigation expands to his luminary friends and colleagues. Meanwhile, Hobbes’s agent is dealing with damage control, his psychotic boss, and a woman he’s scorned.

AOTD: I’m watching it, but mainly for the commercials and of course Rihanna’s halftime show.

Yesterday

Last night Web and I finally watched Wakanda Forever! I was surprised by how dark the story was, and I loved the deeper plot and where they took the story after Chadwick Boesman’s death. Definitely watch it if you haven’t yet.
