Loft and Found A Pilot Review
The pilot opens up with two friends arguing over “not liking to be gaslit,” and then we proceed to meet the rest of the characters, who are all roommates in this loft performance space. It focuses on these characters who don’t want to grow up and face “Peter Pan” syndrome.
Well shot, with brilliant pacing and relatable comedy at any age. Although, as a millennial, I feel this way more than I should. This pilot has all the feels and deserves to be on some streaming service because I was hooked in the first two minutes.
