Can we call this its own genre now or what? Web series from inside the so-called ‘La Bubble’ have dipped their bucket in the well of aspiring Hollywood stories that it really deserves its own name. We get barraged by a least one of these a week—two, possibly three, young twentysomethings have moved out to La clawing their way through the dregs of the Hollywood ladder, all while underpaid and oversexed. A new entrant joined the fold this month in Freckle and Bean, opening with three episodes that so far hug true to this quasi-meta subgenre of the real Young Hollywood. James (Elena Crevello) and Emma (Heather McCallum), both girls in their early-twenties, are fresh-off-the-interstate transplants from the midwest trying to beat the odds and make it in Hollywood. The clichés of this new genre are all here—craigslist roommates, sketchy dates with d-list celebrities, indentured servitude of A-listers assistant jobs.
