Molly Wells might be lost, but Loot isn’t. Three seasons in, the Apple TV+ comedy starring Maya Rudolph remains as funny, fast-paced, and emotionally tuned as ever. Even without a big central plot (at least for now), the show still nails what matters: being witty, warm, and delightfully irreverent about the absurd world of the ultra-rich.

A crash landing that becomes a “spiritual retreat”

The premiere, “Bye-Bye Mode,” picks up right where Season 2 ended — Molly and Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster, at his best) escaping Los Angeles on a private jet. What follows is one of the show’s funniest setups: they crash on a tropical island that turns out to be part of an elaborate wellness ruse designed by Nicholas to pull Molly out of her emotional slump.

Naturally, Molly is so rich she doesn’t even realize the island belongs to her — another forgotten divorce settlement perk. There’s a hidden staff, luxury disguised as survival, and a guest appearance by a nudist billionaire who spends his days oiling his furniture with coconuts. It’s pure Loot — physical comedy meets emotional introspection — and ends with Molly finding her balance again (and reigniting things with Arthur, in a genuinely sweet coda).

Love, control, and a golden chain gone wrong

Episode two, “Would Hit,” zooms in on Molly and Arthur’s attempt to navigate their new romance, while Nicholas (ever the overbearing best friend) gives Arthur a detailed Molly survival guide — literally a binder full of her preferences. Predictably, it’s a disaster. A gold chain mishap nearly ends in tragedy, and Molly realizes she’s been letting others over-manage her life for too long.

These moments of chaos and care are where Loot shines: it laughs at privilege, yes, but also lets its characters grow — and occasionally, even feel.

Sofia, Howard, and a new spark of life

The season also gives more space to Sofia (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez) and Howard (Ron Funches), especially with the arrival of Destiny (X Mayo), Sofia’s larger-than-life sister. Her presence forces Sofia to loosen up, while Howard sees new sides of her vulnerability. It’s a refreshing shift that expands the show’s emotional core beyond Molly.

Between billionaires behaving badly, wellness rituals gone wrong, and friendships that double as therapy, Loot remains a comedy about people who have everything but are still trying to figure out who they are.

The satire still has a heart

Even without a clear overarching story yet, Loot thrives on character chemistry and razor-sharp timing. The humor lands, the critique stings (just enough), and the warmth lingers.

Maybe that’s the secret to Loot’s charm: it never stops laughing at excess — but it also never stops feeling for the people behind it.
