So the other day, I was looking for something to watch, and I decided to check out Loot on Apple TV+. After four episodes, I was hooked.
I am not usually a Maya Rudolph fan, but she immediately won me over as Molly Novak, a woman who finds herself suddenly single after her husband (Adam Scott) cheats on her. Oh, and did I mention he is a billionaire, and their divorce makes her the third richest woman in the world.
Just when it seems that she is at her lowest, she gets a call from tough-as-nails Sofia Salinas (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez). Sofia runs Molly’s foundation, which the billionaire has had nothing to do with. However, that is all going to change. Molly is going to change them as much as they are going to change her.
Who are they? There is Sofia, as I mentioned, Arthur (Faxon), who lacks self-confidence and is also recently divorced, Molly’s cousin, the lovable Howard (Funches), and Molly’s personal assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster), who would rather live the lavish lifestyle than work.
They are a mismatched group, but they work amazingly well together. And that is what makes Loot so special.
Therefore, Apple TV+ picked up the series for a second season. It could be because it has found an audience. Or it could be the cliffhangers in the season finale. But I have said too much about that.
