La La Land (TV series)

La La Land is an American television comedy series that aired on Showtime in the United States, BBC Three in the United Kingdom, and SBS One in Australia. It is a mockumentary starring character comedian Marc Wootton, who portrays three distinct roles: Shirley Ghostman, a fraudulent psychic; Gary Garner, an aspiring actor; and Brendan Allen, a documentary filmmaker. The series premiered on 25 January 2010 and was released on DVD on 7 June 2010. Critical reception was mixed.

Mike Hale of The New York Times offered a positive review, noting that while Wootton does not often generate the helpless laughter of Borat or Da Ali G Show, his quieter, more slowly unfolding scenarios can yield devastating payoffs. Heather Havrilesky of Salon praised the dark comedy and narrative, saying the series captures the jackassery inherent to striving. Brian Lowry of Variety gave a negative review, calling Wootton a poor man's Sacha Baron Cohen and writing that while his irreverent antics are sporadically funny enough to attract a cult following, the memorable moments are too few and far between. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds a 57% approval rating based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 2 out of 10.
