I watch this because Maya Rudolph is in it, and I love Maya Rudolph. Not at Aubrey Plaza levels, but not far off.

 The show does have its heart in the right place. Maya Rudolph plays Molly Noavk, the ex-wife of tech billionaire John Novak (played with oily charm by Adam Scott), who becomes the third wealthiest woman on the planet after her divorce settlement clears. Once the novelty of boozing and drug taking has worn off, she decides to connect with one of her charitable foundations that seeks to address homeless issues in America. The first season was about Molly finding meaning in her life post-Adam. This includes the friends she makes at the foundation, such as the no-nonsense executive director Sofia Salinas, who initially has no time for Molly’s exuberance and rich people-nonsense. By the end of Season One, they are besties.

 The second Season explores the friendship dynamics further, especially Molly’s will they/won’t they relationship with Arthur, the accountant (played by one of my favourite doofus character actors, Nat Faxon). I disliked this arc mostly because of how it ends up. But, it’s the only sour point of a heart-warming and generous season about a rich woman seeking to give away her fortune to the poor and displaced. To be clear, the show does not argue for a socialist utopia. It’s all very Hollywood neo-liberal. But it’s nice to see a comedy at least attempt, however awkwardly, inequality in America. The fact that no one in the office, aside from Sofia (and even she just barely), seems to do any work—aside from focussing on their pet projects like acting (Nicholas) and operating a wrestling foundation (Howard)—is neither here nor there.

 As much as I didn’t like the end of the season, I’m still up for season three.
