Four friends who created a phone app about cats strike it
rich in this British comedy. Josh (Jim Howick) is very
insecure, despite being in charge of this successful
company. Leon (Samuel Anderson) is very outgoing and
confident. Ewan (Jonny Sweet) is a very shy,
self-effacing fellow (a nerd among nerds). Watto (Nick
Helms) is their creative artist who's given up drinking and
drugs.
They got rich when their company, Idyll Hands, was bought
out by a larger corporation. They deal with the tough
corporate woman, Casey (Mary McCormack), who's very
aggressive and mean. They decide how to spend their
money, which includes getting a big house together.
Then they realize that everyone will hate them now because
they're rich.
The show is sometimes very funny and other times not. I
hope it gets better. Watch the first episode and I think you
might be hooked.
Josh, Leon, Ewan, Watto — four lifelong friends and
self-confessed “fist-chewing business children” — have
just sold their start-up for $300 million. Which is
great. Sure. But not without its problems. Because they
might’ve grown up in each other’s pockets, but now those
pockets are lined with gold, and suddenly loyalties are
being tested and fault -lines are opening up. Loaded
is about male friendship, ambition, greed, the
peculiarly British distaste for other people’s success,
and what happens when you’ve got £14.5m in the bank but
the cash machine has a £300 daily limit.
