There are only two episodes left of Maya Rudolph’s hilarious season two of the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ comedy series, Loot. Episode 9, “Mood Vibrations,” airs May 22nd, with the finale following on May 29th. Apple TV+ continues to impress with its remarkable programming, especially when it comes to comedies. Loot is hilarious, right up there with shows like Acapulco and Ted Lasso. The second season has proven to be just as hilarious, lighthearted, and fun as the first. Set against the backdrop of luxurious Los Angeles, the show satirizes the opulence and self-indulgent tendencies of the uber-rich.
Only Two Episodes Left of Loot’s Hilarious Second Season
In this upcoming episode, things get interesting as Molly’s philanthropic dreams take shape with the “Space For Everyone” project coming to life. However, her past comes knocking when her ex-husband John Novak (Adam Scott) attempts to steal the spotlight. Meanwhile, Sofia (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez) grapples with finding a balance between her work life and her personal relationship.
The show benefits greatly from its incredibly diverse cast. This emphasis on diversity is clearly important to the creators. And it shines through in a way that feels refreshingly natural. You can see it reflected in the characters themselves; their backgrounds aren’t a plot point, their diversity simply exists. Filming in Los Angeles further amplifies the show’s authenticity. Mirroring the story’s richness through the city’s incredible diversity is a hallmark of Southern California. Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, a trans actress, worked with the show’s creators to make her character just a woman, not defined by her gender identity.”I didn’t want her to be defined by her gender identity,” Rodriguez explains, “I just wanted her to be a woman climbing up the ladder.”
GLAAD’s 2022 Stephen F. Kolzak Award honoree Michaela Jaé Rodriguez discussed playing a character that “isn’t necessarily just a biological woman’s role or a trans woman’s role.” She explains “This encompasses all women around the world and showing that young girls around the world can achieve this and also can have tenacity, can have grit and a little bit of attitude with it, you know?”
