    A good--OK, often very good--comedy that’s a little too much like “Silicon Valley.”

    With hearty doses of British self-flagellation, Loaded wrings brilliant cringe comedy out of its unqualified characters and the wealth they’ve stupidly acquired.

    The icing on this amusing cake is Mary McCormack, who plays Casey, an American and the no-nonsense vice president of the company that bought the four misfits’ concept. ... When she flies in to take a hands-on approach to managing their lives, this show (based on the Israeli series “Mesudarim”) really takes off.

    Loaded moves along quickly and even when the subject matter gets dark, it doesn't hit very hard. Don't expect too much hilarity, but there are some smiles of recognition, some solid performances and a little bit of currency (both topical and financial), making Loaded one of the better examples of a not-particularly-great genre.

    It's not a great show, but it's decent summer viewing. There are some laughs, and I liked it more as it went along.

    Loaded succeeds as a likable show, even if it’s one that takes a bit too much self-congratulatory pride in having the boys fail.

    Loaded is a nice summer offering, with lightweight humor and a British twist on the startup story that makes it a bit of a novelty. And every now and then there’s insight about wealth--or the lack thereof--that is a little funny and a little heart-rending in its stark truth.

    The show’s generally more amiable than it is funny, with most of the overt laughs coming from Mary McCormack as Casey, sarcastic executive from the company that bought Cat Factory. (“Think of me as a sexy Darth Vader,” she tells them.) But the genuine affection the friends have for each other is charming (and in many ways a bigger deviation from Silicon Valley than the size of everyone’s bank accounts), and the better stories find a sweet spot between absurdity and sincerity.
