Season 2 Premiere:
Hacks
A dark mentorship forms between a legendary Las Vegas comic and a 25-year-old comedy writer.
Matt Roush says...
Jean Smart returns in her triumphant Emmy-winning role as stand-up comedy legend Deborah Vance, who in the second season of this glorious showbiz fable is forced to hit the road to hone a risky and revealing new act when she’s dumped from her longtime Las Vegas residency. Along for the very bumpy ride: millennial writer and sidekick Ava (Hannah Einbinder), now written less as a pretentious foil than as a willing apprentice, whose dues-paying verges on the slapstick. But first, there’s that pesky matter of the e-mail Ava drunkenly sent out, exposing Deborah’s worst boss-lady traits. Can this working relationship be saved?
