Recent college graduate Sam Sullivan has landed a job as the youngest executive at a major airline. He tries to juggle the demands of his job -- which include curmudgeonly boss Russ and a predatory older co-worker, Meryl -- with those of his roommates, including his jobless older brother. One of the first-season storylines revolves around Sam's crush on friend Piper. In season two, that storyline was dropped as the show's focus changes more to Sam's work life with less of an emphasis on his personal life.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite its likable cast, The Loop's silly frat-boy humor gets old pretty quickly.

[T]hese characters are just long lists of funky traits that a bunch of very pragmatic writers and TV executives thought would add up to the sorts of sweet little hotties that might populate a palatable, wildly popular single-camera comedy. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 10/15/2019
Sorry, but been there, drank that. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 10/15/2019
The show moves along briskly, and it benefits from the lack of a laugh track. But you have to accept the relentless repetition of some flagrantly juvenile jokes to enjoy yourself. The humor for 10-year-olds just keeps on coming, as if on a loop. Go to Full Review Mike Schiller PopMatters 10/15/2019

If none of this seems particularly original, it's because it isn't particularly original in idea, nor in execution. Go to Full Review OC Register Staff Orange County Register 10/15/2019
We've all been Sam in our early 20s, and "The Loop" has a nice way of capturing those days with humor and a bit of heart. Go to Full Review Brian Zoromski IGN Movies 10/15/2019

The Loop is fun and breezy, never taking itself seriously. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
