Everyone's got so much money - "That house looks like a hotel" sort of thing, "This is my Tuesday Porsche". And the satirical edge is that everyone has so much stuff that if something's nicked they won't even notice it. Then a charismatic billionaire moves in - James Marsden. Improves Olivia Munn's fortunes by giving her a house sale and restoring relations with neighbours, who are clubbed against her for framing Coop (John Hamm). But despite an amiable meeting, Coop gets into deep trouble being filmed nicking the billionaire's book - and then is blackmailed into helping him in a giant money hiding scam.
Coop's ex Amanda Peet is dealing with peri-menopause, and her daughter Isabel Gravitt rebels by not wanting to go to Princeton. The son Donovan Colan is having affair with billionaire's daughter Erin Robinson.
Coop's oldest friend Hoon Lee (Ming the Merciless) recklessly decides to go into the burglary game much to the annoyance of Coop's partner Aimee Carrero.
10 episodes for Apple, ending somewhat loosely. Marsden has been disappeared after a humorous meltdown but you feel the ramifications aren't yet felt. It's fun trying to identify the classic films Coop is watching. It's well written - every time Coop goes into a voiceover you know it's worth paying attention.
