Hacks on HBO Max

[LonePirate]

If you have HBO Max and you have not already watched it, please add Hacks to your queue and watch it as soon as you can. The show is hilarious.

The show stars Jean Smart who plays a legendary stand-up comic who has a Las Vegas residency. She hires a Hollywood writer to assist her (who technically is the lead character of the show) even if Smart's character steals every scene she is in (which is most of them).

It's a new series with just one season with 10 episodes (about 30 minutes each). It is definitely worth the time investment.

7. Very good series and Jean Smart is fantastic

She just keeps getting better with age. Really good in Fargo and now this. Brings a lot of depth to the character; funny yes but even better at the drama.
