'Loot' gives the gift of comedy with Maya Rudolph as a divorce-minted billionaire
CNN
"Loot" sounds like a one-note joke on paper -- ha ha, an Apple TV+ comedy loosely inspired by the Bezos' family drama -- that doesn't gain much depth during the first episode. Stick with it, though, and this showcase for Maya Rudolph as a billionaire minted through divorce becomes a sweet if fairly conventional romantic comedy with a few welcome surprises.
After an introduction by way of the couple's mega-yacht, Rudolph's Molly Novak is rudely awakened from her enviable life when she discovers the infidelity of her husband (Adam Scott). Faster than you can say "Mackenzie Scott" (the former Mrs. Bezos, and a major philanthropist), she's on her own, with $87 billion (ballpark) to console her.
After a series of booze-soaked romps, Molly hears from Sofia Salinas ("Pose's" Michaela Jaé Rodriguez), who runs a charitable foundation that Molly hadn't even realized she's inherited. Looking for something to do with her money and time, she takes an interest in the place, turning its somewhat eclectic staff into a sort of extended family.
