We’re not saying that life is all doom and gloom right now, but give us a TV show that promises to deliver some feel-good energy and we won’t refuse. Right on cue, Apple TV+ has debuted Loot, a workplace comedy with all the ingredients needed for a gratifying boost. Starring Maya Rudolph as a billionaire divorcée who overnight becomes the “most famous cheated-on woman on the planet”, the 10-part series explores what it means to venture outside of your comfort zone and pave a positive way forward – with a little help from an eccentric group of friends.
“Loot is a show that’ll convince you to press play based off Maya Rudolph’s name alone, because as any fans of Bridesmaids or SNL know, she’s a comedic queen,” says Stylist’s digital entertainment editor Christobel Hastings. “And whether her character Molly is flitting between being a diva, attentive friend or carefree boss at her charitable foundation, she has some unsurprisingly fantastic moments. As viewers quickly find out, the chemistry between the ensemble cast is also well worth the watch: no-nonsense Sofia (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez), Molly’s enthusiastic cousin Howard (Ron Funches) and her snooty personal assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster) are in their element as an unlikely bunch of colleagues who become like chosen family. Beyond the punchlines, though, are storylines that will genuinely tug your heartstrings, and you can’t help but feel warm and fuzzy as Molly discovers what truly matters in life.” Available now on Apple TV+
