Review of Loot

Loot (2022– )
6/10
Comedy of the absurd, it's growing on me
19 April 2024
Like several others i really detested this show when I first watched it. The comedy premise - a clueless billionaire divorcée trying to help people thru her vanity charity project was just too close and certainly one of many things wrong with the philanthropy business. Take it from me I work in this field! But then I read over some of the reviews and checked my professional hat at the door, and gave this show another chance. After all it is Maya Rudolph. And though it"s not great comedy, the show is a bit smarter and fun than I initially gave it credit. I am caught up now through season 2 and just appreciate the show for its all of its wonderful quirks like the implausible story, the fantastic cast ensemble, and of course Maya unleashing her amazing comedic talent in the character Molly as the show grows into its own.. Call it a guilty pleasure but I love to watch this show at the end of a particularly tough work day. It makes me laugh! The show entertains precisely because of its over the top characters and outlandish formula for comedy. And for that I am grateful. After all it is only a TV show, not reality. I hope it keeps going!
