Review of Loot

Loot (2022– )
6/10
Not very funny, and yet...
2 August 2022
Love Maya Rudolph, but this script is simply not very funny. Her fish-out-of-water as she attempts to fit in to the "normal" world is too unrealistic - because her character wasn't born rich, she WAS a "normal" person before her husband made his billions. She is supposed to grow and evolve - but she's never actually involved in what her charity does or who it helps. The supporting cast is thinly drawn and there are too many short cuts to Maya bonding with them. Maya's character is over-the-top tone deaf - but at the same time is supposed to be smart, not stupid. The context all feels shallow and formulaic. Having said all that, I do see potential here as the latter half of the series begins to pull in more stories of the cast which are rather sweet and good-hearted. The writers somehow need to pull it out and bring a sharper edge and humor to the endeavor if this series isn't going to be canned.
