  • Summary

  • Today we’re returning to L.A.’s famous tar pits for the pilot episode of La Brea (2021), the timey-wimey story of a family of Los Angelinos who fall into a sinkhole in Wilshire Boulevard and somehow end up in the Pleistocene. If you love ice age megafauna, this episode is for you! The show, maybe not so much.
