it’s weird to me that so many people think Ava and Deborah are romantically involved or should be. Has society lost the concept of female friendship and having a best friend? Idk why everything has to be sexualized but it’s weird and annoying.

For all intents and purposes, I truly believe Hacks wouldn’t be nearly as successful as it is without the brilliant casting.

I was just rewatching the scene in the finale where Deborah has the idea for another joke and instinctively pulls out her little red notebook, only to have the much bigger epiphany of, “I’m not done yet.” Watching Jean Smart in that moment, I started trying to imagine another actress playing Deborah Vance — and I genuinely can’t. NO ONE I can think of even comes close to filling those shoes the way Jean does.

And honestly, the same goes for so much of the cast. Hannah Einbinder, Paul W. Downs, Megan Stalter, even Lauren Weedman as Mayor Jo. 😂 They all feel so completely right for these characters that it’s hard to separate the character from the actor at this point.

So, just for fun: Can anyone think of another actress you could actually see playing Deborah or Ava? Not necessarily someone you think would be better - just someone you think could have brought something different to the role and still made it work.
Because I’ve been trying and I’m drawing a complete blank. 😂

Oh man this must’ve been so hard to go through but I’m glad that the show was kind enough to move things around for her and i know they offered the same flexibility to Jean when her husband passed. Kaitlin’s dad ended up passing but was able to watch her episode.

Speaking of Kaitlin I have been so torn between her Lauren Weedman to win best guest actress. They’re both so deserving!

I need more Hacks merch to exist!

So I finished this show in 6ish weeks. Truly the only thing I’ve been watching in my free time that my ADHD permits. I have no clue what to do with life now.

The Las Vegas episode put me through cringe, love and grief all in one 😭 and it's immediately followed up by a bonding episode between... I still don't know the main character's names I'm so sorry. I'm currently paused on the scene where the writer girl's accidentally run into her ex at a bar in LA :)

I'm surprised I'm only finding out about this show now. I only started watching it cause one commenter on a different sub said The Bear, From and Hacks released a season each year and I was like "whattt??" And since I've just finished season 4 of From & season 5 of The Bear, I'm watching this now!! 😁

I just finished Hacks, everyone who participated in this show is sick and twisted, I started this thinking I was gonna laugh it was gonna be something to put in the background while I do the dishes, WHY AM I CRYING?

They are soulmates and cannot be convinced otherwise.
