Jon Hamm's Charismatic Cat Burglar Returns: A Black Comedy Review
Jon Hamm returns to screens, reprising his role as the captivating yet morally ambiguous banker-turned-cat burglar. This dark comedy centers on financier Andrew "Coop" Cooper, whose undeniable charm is a key component of the show's appeal. Hamm excels at portraying complex, somewhat troublesome middle-aged men who nonetheless win over audiences.
Even with a clear path back to his former banking career, Coop opts to persist in his thrillingly precarious double life. Though he surprisingly emerged unscathed from the first season's dramatic peak, Coop soon finds himself on an inevitable collision course with Samantha Levitt, his lover and formidable adversary.
Alarmingly, the consequences of his daring lifestyle are starting to manifest physically, with a debilitating back spasm threatening to halt his recent string of heists. Periodically, the series ventures into satirical territory, offering glimpses of critique on the ennui and excessive consumerism of suburban life. However, it often seems reluctant to fully commit, leaning into the very aspirational elements it seeks to lampoon, resulting in a narrative that is lighthearted and enjoyable, if somewhat insubstantial. Catch it on Apple TV, launching this Friday, April 3rd.
