Cute, fun, workplace comedy with a slightly different vibe that really lets Maya Rudolph show her stuff.
I watched two episodes, and the writing is shockingly bad and lazy. They basically only go for the same jokes that everyone has seen a million times before on Twitter.
Mj Rodriguez is the worst actor I've seen in a very long time. She's basically just reading lines, absolutely not a great cast for her role.
I know the show is supposed to be a fun light comedy but Loot is a cut and paste network-style sitcom, very generic, and it's not particularly funny. What am I missing? :thinking:
The music has me hooked! I love Maya Rudolph and Ron Funches so that's another huge bonus for this show. I like the premise but MJ Rodriguez seems as though they are trying too hard to be no nonsense and tough. I am hoping the remaining episodes are as good. Solid 8/10!
Your average NBC's Thursday sitcom but on an Apple dime, and absolutely nothing wrong about it. Very enjoyable, very decent writing. That lovable workplace bunch but on upgraded visuals.
it's a funny easy watch
A moderately funny, in a smile humour sort of way, show but watching rich people be stupid is wearing thin as a story line. Whole concept doesn’t really work for this show though, a divorced millionaire who decides to start throwing money at the world’s problems in an effort to find herself and give herself a reason to exist supported by an office full of staff whose primary purpose in life seems to have been to tick all the boxes on an inclusivity checklist, I mean it’s really all there, and it’s so obviously ALL there that it can make you think that was the whole point of doing the show.
The acting is pretty lame, the jokes mostly fall flat, the characters are all very shallow and one dimensional, their contributions being so mind numbingly repetitive it just gets annoying. Topping the list in that regard is Sofia, she has just one mode for like EVERY scene in EVERY episode, the sulky, scowling, disapproving, eye rolling, un-fun dork act really gets extremely tiresome.
I know some folks rave about Maya Rudolph and Michaela Jae Rodriguez, unfortunately they are both bottom tier also rans as far as I’m concerned so nothing to appeal there either, this show just serves to drop them both down to the bottom rung of the ladder IMO. A definite go woke or go broke attempt at a Ted Lasso reinvention that fails miserably and the type of agenda pushing garbage that is sadly the hallmark of too many Apple programmes.
Inappropriate and disgusting show for times we live in. Corporations bending laws and we know now about corruption and rich people manipulating law to their benefit, it is a bad tone to make a show about clumsy millionaire woman making attempts to look generous and normal. And the fact that they made a second season, while surprising, tells you that executive who green-lighted the show is one of them and they lost touch.
The music is great. And that's a good starting point.
"my boring white [colleague]" - racist show
Billionaire propaganda. Nothing redeemable about depicting those destroying this planet and its people struggling to survive on it as anything more.

It’s a nice little TV shows and the actors and their characters are really growing on me. Good cast.
