Oh, welcome back, HACKS! Your fans really missed your honest humor and poignant, authentic moments that define the emotional depth of Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava’s  (Hannah Einbender) relationship. The episode felt true to them and to all who deal with the fickle expectations that come with fame.Â
The writers of HACKS nailed it. They gave viewers an inside peek at all aspects of putting a show together, yet they infused the grueling schedule with warm, less caustic zingers. It was brilliant. Be on the lookout for a special guest appearance. What a treat! It seemed like the perfect location to see an old, familiar face.Â
HACKS is finally on track and hopefully will not veer off again. The actors showcased impeccable timing, sometimes using only a raised eyebrow to remind audiences how multi-talented they all are. I am sighing with glee and wearing my stress-free smile.
It is streaming on MAX.Â
