The Episode Review
Sofia Salinas is quickly becoming a favorite character out of Loot’s talented cast. Michaela Jae Rodriguez has a great range for this show, and her reactions to Rudolph’s character are absolutely priceless.
The episode “The Miseducation of Molly Wells” had a light and humorous air to it. This was due to the interactions between Molly and Sofia, as well as the pairing of friends in Nicholas and Howard. I’m looking forward to seeing more unlikely relationships develop among the Wells Foundation. ..
