Coop intensifies his double life as an unexpected neighborhood thief to protect his family in the second season of 'Vicios Ocultos'.

The episode begins by summarizing the plot of 'Vicios Ocultos' season two, where protagonist Coop complicates his life by becoming a thief to protect his family amid a midlife crisis. It introduces new characters like James Marsden's Gatsby-like figure, who throws lavish parties. Jon Hamm is interviewed, explaining that the show critiques the American dream, shifting from social justice to ultraliberal capitalism, materialism, and toxic competitiveness. He notes that ostentatious consumerism and late capitalism should be distrusted, highlighting economic disparities. Creator Jonathan Tropper shares that he didn't want to create another rich-people drama but was inspired by his 15 years living in Westmont, an elite New York suburb, where he observed wealth accumulation and loss, leading to the idea of stealing forgotten objects. The discussion turns to antiheroes, with Hamm citing Hamlet as an example and Tropper stating that no one is interested in watching perfect people. Comparisons are drawn between Coop and Don Draper from 'Mad Men', both navigating volatile times and midlife crises. The hosts analyze the show's execution, noting that season two improves pacing by introducing a new antagonist and that Apple increased the budget for more luxury. They mention it's a notable but not outstanding Apple series, like 'Severance' or 'Ted Lasso'. The episode then shifts to Michelle Pfeiffer's television return, covering her roles in 'Margo Tiene Problemas de Dinero', where she plays a quirky mother alongside Elle Fanning, and 'The Madison', a Yellowstone spin-off. Pfeiffer serves as an executive producer on both, a role she hasn't held since 1996. The hosts praise her performance and the series' exploration of themes like early adulthood crises and family dynamics. The episode concludes by summarizing these Apple TV+ offerings and signing off.
