Loot is a breezy workplace satire with no bite - The A.V. Club

Apple TV+’s Loot is designed to poke fun at, and eventually ruminate over, its protagonist’s ridiculously extravagant lifestyle.

Maya Rudolph, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Joel Kim Booster, Ron Funches, Nat Faxon, Meagan Fay, Stephanie Styles, Adam Scott, Dylan Gelula, Olivier Martinez.

(Ever wondered what a show based on Mackenzie Bezos right now might look like? Loot is essentially the glossy version of it.) Molly starts working for a charity in her name that she didn’t even know existed.

Sofia runs it with the help of eccentric folks like soft-spoken accountant Arthur (Nat Faxon) and Molly’s super-optimistic cousin, Howard (Ron Funches).

Molly isn’t hyper-enthusiastic like Leslie Knope, but she is extremely out-of-touch with going into an office, leading conference-room meetings, or figuring out how to actually help people.

Booster plays Nicholas, Molly’s fiercely loyal assistant who tags along with her at work, later pursuing his true love of acting.

Also delightful: any scene with Booster and Funches.

But it also wants to embrace a larger message on how billionaires shouldn’t exist, and if they do, how they should actually help tackle global crises instead of simply tweeting through them.
