Emmy Voters, Don’t Forget About ‘Laid’: Peacock’s One-Season Dramedy Is Worth a Second Look
Emmy voters take note: Peacock's 'Laid' only lasted one season, but give it deserves another look.
“ Laid,” the Peacock comedy from Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna and adapted from the Australian format of the same name, is “High Fidelity” for a generation raised on true crime and procedural television. Ruby’s top ally in this scavenger hunt is her best friend and roommate AJ (Zosia Mamet), a bartender and Amanda Knox stan who transfers her well-honed knowledge of the Italian legal system and extradition practices into an elaborate sex timeline so they can try to prevent some of these deaths. Unlike “Poker Face,” its heroine doesn’t have as strong a moral compass or world weariness; Ruby is a Zennial who does virtual therapy sessions because it’s easier to zone out during them instead of doing the work.
