Loot

This show makes my heart happy. It's lighthearted and charismatic- as some of the best kind of "Netflix" is. You don't have to think too much, or act as if you're a judge on America's Next Top TV Critic (which thankfully, does not exist). Every few minutes, you're hit with a nice "how can't I laugh at that?" - whether it's dialogue or delivery, even bad acting on occasion. By the end of an episode, I find myself rooting for the characters and the actors portraying them.

I dig where Maya's gone with Loot, regardless if it emulates a "real rich lifestyle" or what a "real rich person" might do. Most people can't relate to that anyhow. Hats off to Maya, AppleTV, and the entire team behind Loot for green lighting. Five episodes in and bottom line, Loot's compassionate, fun, and easy to watch when not taken so seriously or literally. If you're into that, it's worth the watch.

OK, normally I don't add a review until the season is over, especially on brand new shows. But I figured it was time to go ahead and drop one to counteract the people who watched one episode and came to say how awful it was! Episode four is the turning point, things start to come together, characters and storylines branch off and, for me, the result was funny! I think it's really heading somewhere and I'll stay with it until the end. They've got some really funny people on the show it just took a minute for them to shine. I mean Maya Rudolph Rob Funches and Nat Faxon are great. I'm enjoying Joel Kim Booster too. So what if one of the lead characters is trans, if you rated low for that, then there's just no hope for you. They don't smash the whole woke BS propaganda, like so many other shows do, down your throat! It's just a trans person in a lead role and she's a good actor so it's fine, geez! Chill out... Sit back and enjoy a little light goofy comedy. Or don't.

Based on the credits of everyone involved, this should have been much better than it is. It feels like they had a great pitch meeting at Apple TV, everyone said, "It'll write itself!" and they all went home and cashed their checks.

The writing is both uninspired and lazy. There are lots of warmed over jokes about how filthy rich the lead character is, which have been done much better elsewhere.

The characters are all paper thin and derivative. Her gay assistant is shallow and bitchy. Groundbreaking. There's a major comic scene where she goes on a show and eats too-hot hot wings - which we have all seen Maya Rudolph do already on SNL. Lazy.

The only bright light is Nat Faxon as a timid accountant / love interest. The show springs to life whenever he's on camera. They seem to be moving towards some character development, but so far? Lazy.

Watched two episodes so far and I'm enjoying the characters and storyline. One of my favorite actors is Nat Faxon and I usually like whatever he's in. I'd say this is kind of a workplace comedy with nice character development.

It's only been 3 episodes and people are giving it bad reviews? I'm suspecting some hate towards the LGBTQ community because one of the actresses is trans.

Besides that, it's a funny show. I can't wait for episode 4! Maya is hilarious, as always, and the music is awesome!
